# Understanding Gold, Tournament Points and $FUN

| Sport.fun uses three currencies with different purposes: Gold is used for player shares, Tournament Points support Pro progression, and $FUN unlocks optional token-holder benefits in Pro.

### Gold

Gold is used to sign, release and swap player shares.
* In **Free to Play**, you begin with a free Gold allocation and earn more Gold through gameplay. Gold cannot be withdrawn as money.
* In **Pro**, Gold is backed 1:1 by USDC. You can fund your in-game wallet to obtain Gold and can follow the withdrawal process when you want to remove funds.

### Tournament Points (TP)

TP is a Pro progression currency earned through gameplay. You can spend TP on Player Packs to add player shares to your squad or roster. TP is not used in Free to Play.

### $FUN

$FUN is the Sport.fun ecosystem token in Pro. It is optional, and you do not need it to play but holding qualifying $FUN in your in-game wallet can unlock benefits such as bonus TP.
