Why we use them
- Small message costs reduce spam and low-effort outreach
- Successful trades keep value circulating in the marketplace
- One simple balance instead of mixing payment rails per action
// ECONOMY
Scraps
The currency inside WASTE.LAND. Use Scraps for listings, messages, Vault escrow, and premium tools. They are platform credit—not a public cryptocurrency—and they follow the Terms of Service.
// DEFINITION
What Scraps are
One Scrap is one unit of credit on the platform. Buyers spend Scraps to reach sellers, lock Vault escrow, and complete purchases. Sellers receive Scraps when a deal releases. Your balance and each charge show clearly what happened.
What they are not
- Not a tradeable token on an open blockchain
- Not hourly freelancing fees—you buy and sell whole project assets
- Not automatically cash; withdrawal rules are in the Terms of Service
// INFLOW
How you earn Scraps
Common ways Scraps arrive in your account:
- Sales — when Vault releases, you receive Scraps minus the platform fee
- Purchased packs — buy Scraps in bundles at checkout
- Bonuses — onboarding, referrals, and rank perks
- Promotions — official campaigns and credit codes
// OUTFLOW
How you spend Scraps
Typical charges:
- Listing fees — based on project size or audit depth
- Messages — starting or unlocking conversations
- Vault escrow — buyers lock Scraps until accept, cancel, or dispute resolution
- Premium tools — deeper Overseer runs, AI assist, spotlight placement
// PACKS
Buying Scraps
Pick a pack that matches how you use the marketplace. Prices and taxes show at checkout in your currency.
Checkout is under construction. When you are signed in, pack purchases credit your balance on the server (recorded in the ledger; limits apply). Card billing will replace this flow.
// ACCOUNT
Your balance
When you are signed in and your Scraps balance is above zero, the total appears beside Log in in the header (wide screens) and in the mobile menu, with the coin mark. It links back here. If you start Vault escrow without enough Scraps, you will be asked to add more first.
// RULES
Refunds & transfers
Unused pack balances, chargebacks, and negative balances are handled under the Terms of Service. Scraps stay on the platform unless gifting or transfer is enabled for your account. Higher ranks may reduce fees—see Ranks.
