MegaCredits are transferable SPL tokens that function as a unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value within the economic system of The Corporate Wars.
They are designed to circulate freely both inside and outside the game, stored in external wallets, transferred between users, and used in smart contracts deployed on the Solana network.
Within the simulated universe, their existence is justified as a financial instrument issued by the Interstellar Stock Exchange (ISE) and integrated into the game's rules as a long-range economic resource —macroeconomic— that Allegiances use to support their financial Institutions.
Community Participation
Their primary role focuses on community participation: by using MCr as the "main currency" of the economic simulation, we can maintain incoming flows convertible to a SOL-equivalent weighted by the Treasury system.
Players receive —by direct or indirect means— MCr as compensation for their contribution to the system. The amount of MCr assigned depends on their punctual contribution, total accumulated input, and the system's operational needs.
When urgent funds are required, the system thanks —and incentivizes— community participation through variable bonuses to the MCr usually awarded.
If the system receives a healthy inflow of SOL, it returns to the calculated compensatory equilibrium.
To avoid SOL flow cycles orchestrated by player groups trying to artificially trigger incentives, the system in compensatory equilibrium will offer additional randomized rewards, potentially cumulative, in the form of playable assets or emergent events that grant long-term benefits.
This aims to prevent distortions in game balance caused by indiscriminate inflows —or outflows— of MCr: all flows are regulated through playable dynamics, structured as collaborative strategies, managed by a game AI subsystem whose main objective is to "play to finance the game" while maintaining narrative coherence in the simulation.
Institutional Stake
MCr acts as institutional stake in the system. Polities with a minimum financial scope maintain MCr stakes within the Interstellar Stock Exchange; the stake amounts affect the legitimacy, operational capacity, and persistence of those Polities within the Zero-Sum Economic Simulation.
The community participation system encourages MCr staking to provide financial backing to specific Polities —primarily Allegiances and Institutions— controlled by AI.
This backing is not directed support to one particular Polity, but is distributed horizontally by the system to prevent imbalances not anticipated by gameplay, lore, or the Stabilization Algorithm.
It also allows for regulated backing of player-run Polities, enabling guilds and alliances to create their own macroeconomic and governance structures, with capitalization limits defined by gameplay mechanics.
Player contributions to these stakes provide direct and persistent gameplay benefits: simulated values —shares, actions, diplomatic relations, public image, etc.— that become part of the player's corporate legacy and will be rendered in-game when narrative dynamics call for it.
Macroeconomic Liquidity
Players may use MCr as macroeconomic liquidity directly in the Interstellar Stock Exchange, which offers a wide range of instruments based on Resource Units (RU), Route Bonds, and various shares, participations, and investment funds.
MCr used for macroeconomic liquidity may originate either from in-game sources —corporate profits— or externally —wallet deposits—, in which case contributions are limited by the community participation quota offered by the ISE.
ISE participants gain access to system functionalities not available to players without liquidity in the Exchange.
The result in-game is the intervention of local financial Polities with institutional backing from the ISE, supporting large-scale operations, speculative trade route investments, or even founding Polities —corporate governments, alliances, trusts, holdings, or even Allegiances.
These offers represent a persistent corporate legacy in the form of opportunities from local economies, offered to corporations that maintain balanced public image, government relations, and fiscal solvency.
Thus, players with relatively good in-game performance will find more participation opportunities available to them, reflecting —elegantly— how corporations with sound reputation and effective marketing gain market credibility, increasing the immediate liquidity available through the Interstellar Stock Exchange.
In-Game Currency
While the economic simulation spans diverse currencies, exchange rates, and asymmetric structures, MCr remains the universal reference.
All financial transactions conducted by a corporation within the game are translated to a scale —i.e., equals Imperial Credit —or the stable currency defined by the relevant Allegiance.
Players may convert their in-game currencies to MCr and request withdrawals, initiating a regulated and persistent outflow aligned with the simulation and narrative gameplay.
These withdrawals are only available to corporations that meet conditions of net profit, financial solvency, and are free from leverage or collateral obligations.
Lastly, MCr can also be used as a direct exchange currency within the Marketplace, creating a direct return flow of MCr into the system.
Distribution
MCr is a simulated macroeconomic exchange and investment instrument, defined and issued by the Interstellar Stock Exchange.
Internally, it is designed as an algorithmically stabilized SPL token that is minted and burned according to the system's epistemic balance.
Standard SPL token distribution schemes like preminting or reward pools do not apply here: such arbitrary distributions are not only meaningless —they contradict the core principles of a system based on algorithmic stabilization.
Balancing Strategies
MCr is programmatically created and destroyed through high-level balancing strategies selected by the AI, as part of its competitive-collaborative gameplay behavior.
These strategies aim for equivalent distribution and absorption of MCr from the system: not all will succeed, but results are quantifiable and observable, allowing the system to optimize its strategies in the next cycle.
The ultimate goal is to keep the MCr's purchasing power stable within the game, behaving as an intergalactic stablecoin in the simulation —regardless of demand, availability, or speculative market price outside the game.
Participation Strategies
Direct community participation —via voluntary contributions to the economy (SOL conversion or rewarded gameplay activity)— is treated as one of several strategies available to the overall stabilization system.
Planned systemic events, such as expansion phases, simulated crises, or structured campaigns, help maintain persistent MCr inflow and outflow, reflecting long-term achievements, narrative influence, or strategic contributions.
The system does not allow indiscriminate participation —it maintains a balance of Community Participation.
Controlled Issuance
MCr issuance is neither open nor decentralized: it is managed exclusively by the Treasury system and its associated programs, applying a real-time algorithmic stabilization model based on:
Structural health of the system:
Operational capacity of Allegiances.
Total circulation volume and aggregate demand.
Issuance is quantified at each simulated economic cycle, and any surplus is automatically absorbed by the Stabilization Algorithm through retention, fusion, or reconversion mechanisms.
MegaCredits are not a fictional or isolated currency: they are standard SPL tokens, verifiable through on-chain technology, with full interoperability across the Solana network.
Their value, circulation, and custody are governed by the same principles as any other asset on the network —but regulated by specific programs within the game system.
Their usage is governed by internal rules that ensure integration into the simulation's logic —without losing technical compatibility with the external ecosystem.
Warning: MegaCredits are not currently listed on any DEX or CEX. Any attempt to impersonate the token or sell it externally outside the official system must be considered a scam. If an official external liquidity path is ever enabled, it will be announced clearly and verifiably.
