Marketplace Economy — Credits & BTUCOIN & LUMENAR

In-game spend is Credits. They buy anything the game sells to the player (Marketplace looks, listings, later vendors). They do not replace Dual Stack Cells, Frames, Blueprints, or Kha-Shards. The menu Credits roll is a different screen.

Note

Platform home. Credits / BTUCOIN / LUMENAR ledgers and Marketplace Wallet live in the portable MonetaryPlatform plugin. TFAEconomy is the TFA money adapter only (play grants, Character I chips, marketplace routes). Economy / marketplace fraud and case-log store hooks ship in the same plugin’s public UAntiCheatSubsystem — Lyra / TFACore call that API without TFAEconomy. Cheap hit-auth stays Combat / Weapons.

Credits

• Account-shared (every character on the account). Shown on the Character I title bar — not a bag tile.
• Play grants: stashes / caches, monster kills, boss kills, side missions, milestones.
• Credits Find affixes (of Profit / of Payday) modify play grants only.
• Reset Campaign keeps Credits. Amounts per source: TBD.

Play BTUCOIN — daily / weekly / hard objectives

• Completing daily tasks, weekly tasks, and hard objectives mints BTUCOIN. Not Credits. Not LUMENAR.
• Online service only. They do not exist on Solo.
• They live with other game objectives: world markers and the Missions & Objects / Operations drawer on every Tab map (Local Map and World Map). Filter Tasks. Set as Primary from either map.
• Grant tables are fiat value V (TBD-039) — not fixed BTUCOIN counts. At complete: settlement P = max(floor, market); total mint M = V / P; then 51/49. When market is above the marketplace floor, objectives mint fewer BTUCOIN; convert at the same P keeps LUMENAR out flat for that V.
• Hard Objective catalog: TBD-039. Do not invent a board.
• Every BTUCOIN mint (play or fiat) splits 51% studio / 49% player.

Marketplace cash → BTUCOIN mint (then convert)

Marketplace fiat / cash SKUs mint BTUCOIN only — 51% BTU Games treasury / 49% buyer on the EOS PUID (same split as play mints). Pack tables are fiat value V (TBD-036). At mint: P = max(floor, market), M = V / P. They do not grant LUMENAR or Credits. To buy storefront, listings, or Season Pass Advanced, the buyer converts their 49% BTUCOIN → LUMENAR on Wallet at the same P, then spends LUMENAR. Credits stay play-sourced for in-world vendors.

BTUCOIN mint — 51 / 49

• 51% of every BTUCOIN mint is studio treasury. Never shown as the player wallet.
• 49% is the player’s convertible balance on that EOS account.
• This split applies to fiat packs and to daily / weekly / hard-objective grants.
• Display name of the token: BTUCOIN (locked).

Price floor + settlement P

Studio floor (TBD-035) is the marketplace base value. Live market comes from the Year‑1 price feed (later exchange / oracle). Settlement P = max(floor, market) is shared by cash mint, play mint, and convert. The token never settles below the floor. When market is above floor, BTUCOIN quantity minted for a fixed fiat V falls; LUMENAR from converting that mint at the same P stays flat.

Convert

The player converts any portion of their 49% BTUCOIN into LUMENAR whenever they want, on Marketplace Wallet. LUMENAR = floor(B₄₉ × P × R) at confirm time (R = LUMENAR-per-fiat, TBD-036). BTUCOIN does not buy SKUs directly — convert first, then spend LUMENAR. Holding BTUCOIN across a price move can change later convert LUMENAR; immediate convert of a fresh mint keeps LUMENAR flat for that V.

Note

Shared P. Grant/cash sizing and convert use the same settlement. Objectives and cash packs author fiat V — never a fixed BTUCOIN count that ignores market.

Lock plate. Three ledgers in MonetaryPlatform. TFAEconomy adapts money only. AntiCheat public API shares the plugin.

FE22. LUMENAR storefront and Wallet. Ledgers + fraud API in MonetaryPlatform.

Lock plate. AntiCheat ownership: platform store, Trust UI submit, Combat hit-auth.

Note

Cash path. $ → mint BTUCOIN (51% BTU Games / 49% buyer) → convert → LUMENAR → storefront / Advanced Pass. Cash never grants LUMENAR directly. BTUCOIN never tenders SKUs.

Season Pass: Basic (free) and Advanced (LUMENAR) tracks are locked in Season Pass — Basic & Advanced. Advanced unlock is Marketplace LUMENAR spend; looks only — never power.

Secure Locker tabs — Marketplace LUMENAR SKU secure_locker_tab_slot (FS-ECO-014). Explicit QoL exception: storage capacity only — never Frames, trees, or combat power. Buy from Storefront or Secure Locker Buy Tab. Six free tabs; paid tabs up to TBD-070; prices TBD-071.

Founding Clubs / CF cosmetics: crowdfunding exclusives and Apex club looks (materials, armor FX, body props, titles, hangar / nameplate, club tags) are locked in Founding Clubs & CF Cosmetics — In-Game. Looks only — never power (FS-PRD-006).

BTUCOIN PoS: Year 1 stays studio ledger + price feed. Later deposit / withdraw / optional stake on a Proof of Stake host is locked in BTUCOIN — PoS Hybrid (TBD-038).

Year 1 is a studio ledger plus an external market-price feed. On-chain listing / custody is TBD. Do not invent a chain in the client.
