# $COSMIX Utility

The $COSMIX Token stands at the heart of the Cosmix ecosystem, enabling a multitude of operations across its diverse environments from the CosmixStore and the CosmixEngine to the in game economy on the CosmixLaunchers.

In the CosmixStore, $COSMIX Tokens facilitate the acquisition of essential tools and assets, empowering builders and creators to harness the full potential of the CosmixEngine. This utility extends to purchasing everything from game assets to Pixel Blocks and Game Templates, making the $COSMIX Token an indispensable resource for game development and creative expression within the Cosmix universe.

On the CosmixLaunchers, the $COSMIX Token functions as the primary currency, central to the economic interactions and transactions that animate this vibrant hub. Users leverage $COSMIX Tokens for a wide range of activities including marketing, building endeavors, promotional campaigns, and event organization.

Serving as the economic backbone for all games accessible via the CosmixLaunchers, the $COSMIX token gains utility with every new game developed and published through the CosmixEngine.

The diverse mechanics of each game contribute to the continuous expansion of the token’s functionality, enhancing its value across the Cosmix ecosystem.

A key feature of the $COSMIX token is its stake-to-upgrade mechanism, which operates in tandem with in-game NFTs. Players are required to stake a specific amount of $COSMIX tokens for a set duration, tied to a particular NFT, to enhance its attributes. This approach not only reduces the circulating supply of $COSMIX tokens but also elevates the intrinsic value of NFTs.

With tokens locked, players must retain ownership of their NFT to reclaim their staked $COSMIX tokens. If the NFT is sold, the new owner gains the right to claim the locked tokens, further driving demand and increasing the NFT’s value in secondary markets. This innovative system effectively combines token utility with NFT value appreciation, creating a dynamic, self-sustaining economy within the Cosmix ecosystem.
