This is made possible through a system of tokenomics, enhancing the overall gaming experience.Since its global launch in March of this year, Chronicles has garnered significant recognition and popularity due to its sophisticated strategy gameplay and abundant content. Now, with its integration into the XPLA blockchain, the game aims to establish itself as an AAA title within the blockchain gaming market.Three in-game currenciesThe game’s P2O system is pillared by three in-game currencies: Rahild, Mileage, and Xlium. Players can earn Rahild by trading items, participating in events, and accomplishing challenging tasks. Rahild can then be exchanged for Mileage and other valuable items. Mileage, on the other hand, can be traded for Xlium, which can be further converted to XPLA, the native token of the blockchain, through XPLA GAMES Wallet.A Com2uS official said that the introduction of Chronicles on the XPLA mainnet opens up a world of exciting gaming experiences for both existing players and newcomers exploring the Web3 gaming realm. Players will not only be able to explore multiple ways to grow their characters but also have the chance to earn rewards for their gameplay. The game’s improved economic system will ensure that all users can make progress. Com2uS looks forward to taking this opportunity to help its flagship game succeed in the global blockchain game market.
