# Currencies ## Currencies Sport.fun uses three currencies. Each one has a specific purpose. *** ### TL;DR * **Tournament Points (TP)** is the reward currency. Earn it by finishing well in tournaments. Spend it on Player Packs. * **Gold** is the gameplay currency. Use it to sign and release player shares. In Pro mode, Gold is 1:1 with USDC on Base. * **$FUN** is the optional ecosystem token. Holding $FUN unlocks fee rebates, bonus TP, and other perks. *** ### Tournament Points (TP) TP is the reward currency. You earn it by finishing well in tournaments. You spend it to open Player Packs. **Free to Play:** You receive a starter TP grant. Free to Play is being reworked. Details will be updated when it is live again. **Pro:** You earn TP only by winning tournaments. The loop: compete, earn TP, open packs, strengthen your squad, compete again. *** ### Gold Gold is the gameplay currency. You use it to sign and release player shares. **Pro mode:** Gold is 1:1 with USDC on Base. To start on Pro, deposit USDC into your in-game wallet. Fees apply when signing and releasing. Prices can move quickly, especially around tournament windows and snapshots. Check the confirmation screen before every trade. *** ### $FUN $FUN is the ecosystem token. It is not required to play. Holding $FUN in your in-game wallet unlocks fee rebates, bonus TP, and other perks. See $FUN Staking and Rewards for the full breakdown. *** ### Common mistakes * Confusing TP with Gold. TP is for packs. Gold is for signing and releasing shares. * Ignoring fees when planning a sign or release. Always check the confirmation screen. * Signing shares without checking tournament snapshot timing. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
