# $RUM

## What is **$RUM token**?

**$RUM** is a limited-supply, deflationary utility token used to purchase in-game services. It is designed to fuel the reward system for players.

When in-game services are purchased, there is a deflationary process in the following proportions:

• 50% of all spent tokens will be burned. \
• 5% goes to the staking contract for staking rewards. \
• 25% goes to the Pirate King Treasury. \
• 20% goes to the company for maintenance and development of the game.

The systematic burning of **$RUM token** will result in its deflation, due to the decreasing number of tokens in circulation.

### Ways to obtain $RUM

• exchanging stable coin for **$RUM .**\
• exchanging **$ARRC** for **$RUM .**\

#### In Addition, $RUM can be utilized in staking

Staking means locking up **$RUM** token for a certain amount of time to receive an in-game currency **$ARRC** rewards from a staking pool. At the beginning, the tokens for this pool are released from the initial tokenomy. As the game progresses, this pool is supplied with a portion of the tokens spent by players on in-game services, as is the case with the **Pirate King Treasury**.
