# 8. Lazy Football Game Economy
The in-game economy of Lazy Football relies on the utilization of in-game assets such as Gems, Scout Insights, and the in-game currency LAZY, as well as interactions with NFTs and the stablecoin USDC on the Base blockchain (upon its mainnet release).
***
### Main Assets and Tokens
### 
**Gems**
* Used to pay for boosts, accelerators (instant construction, training, etc.).
* Necessary for purchasing LAZY, breeding Lazy Alpha NFTs, and increasing the rarity of Lazy Staff NFTs.
* Users can participate in friendly matches with Gem stakes.
* Can be purchased with USDC, but withdrawal from the game is not available; however, Gems can be sold on the internal market.
* Used for Player auction when a player's price reaches 250% of the base value.
***
### 
**LAZY**
* The main in-game currency used for player salaries, building and maintaining facilities, and buying and selling players on the market.
* Provided to all users at the start of the game in equal amounts, earned during gameplay, purchasable with Gems, and not eligible for sale or withdrawal from the game.
#### Expenses in LAZY:
* Leveling up and maintaining buildings: Improving buildings requires significant investments of LAZY, with the cost increasing as the building level rises. Daily maintenance costs also depend on the level of each building.
* Player salaries: Calculated daily and depend on the strength level of each player.
* Purchasing players: Done through market operations, where managers can buy or sell players using LAZY.

### 
Scout Insights
* Scout Insights are a collectible in-game asset used for crafting new players.
* Cannot be bought or sold on the Market. Scout Insights are obtained through:
* Purchasing and opening packs
* Getting seasonal performance rewards (delivered also as Reward packs)
