# Token Utility

In Arezdag World players can choose either to be a free-to-play user, using soft currency, or take a crypto route that speeds up progression and unlocks multiple benefits with the use of $AGG token.

Game features can be unlocked via staking into special pools. Here are some benefits players get by taking a $AGG token:

* soft currency passive income
* speeding up gear upgrade times (it takes a long time to upgrade high-level gear!)
* regular gear and skin airdrops
* minting discounts for upcoming NFT drops
* reduced marketplace fees
* treasury access
* unique skins and player customization options (titles, frames and other)
* team features- ability to create and manage guilds
* tournament access - competitions with large token prize pools
* ranked mode access
* NFT lending options
* $AGG yield

Staking rewards depend on the amount of stacked tokens and lock up periods.
