Other Currencies
In addition to the system's structural tokens, The Corporate Wars envisions the existence of other currencies across various levels of the simulated universe.
The Imperial Credit, for example, is the official currency of the Third Imperium, and is originally defined in terms of the MCr —a financial instrument of the Interstellar Stock Exchange— backing interstellar economic transactions.
Financial Multipolarity
The MCr is a real SPL token deployed on the Solana network, and although it functions as a common store of value and technical reference for contracts between Allegiances, it is not mandatory.
No Allegiance is forced to use it, and many maintain or issue their own currency through independent monetary policies, which must be backed by MCr for any transaction involving the Interstellar Stock Exchange.
Local Currency
In many worlds —especially those with low technological levels (TL<6) or in economic decline— alternative currencies emerge: from physical local credits to regional tokens backed by resources, mining, cults, or colonial debt.
These currencies may:
Be partially converted to MCr with variable exchange rates and fees.
Be subject to restrictions, currency controls, or black markets.
Be accepted or rejected dynamically by other Polities, depending on context, reputation, or strategic alignment.
The financial ecosystem of The Corporate Wars does not enforce a single standard. Each Allegiance defines its own monetary policy based on its resources, economic doctrine, and position within the galactic theater.
To function within the economic-financial system of the game, they must be backed by MCr in stake within the ISE. However, they are not represented as SPL tokens —they are part of the narrative system and internal simulation economy, with no direct interface to the Solana network.
The mechanisms for converting between local currencies and MCr are regulated by the ISE and the financial Institutions of the Allegiances, based on factors such as available liquidity, local solvency index, and the allegiance and compliance of the issuing entity.
The currencies issued by financial Institutions from any Allegiance are managed exclusively within the game.
Nevertheless, the system may allow certain Allegiances or Institutions —whether current in-game entities or future structures— to issue their own SPL tokens, with specific uses and rules defined by their own programs.
These parallel currencies can serve to express independent economic policies, outside the ISE, represent regional trust networks, or create specific incentives within particular zones or factions.
The viability of these additional currencies depends directly on the scope of the project and the community's active participation.
Their appearance is neither mandatory nor automatic —it requires technical support, economic design, and active management from the development team, with Treasury backing.
If implemented, these currencies will be subject to the same technical guarantees as all other SPL assets in the system: controlled interoperability, contract-regulated usage, and coherence with the general economic model of the universe.
