# Game NPCs

Ponsians features several key NPC characters who manage important systems of the game economy and player progression. Each NPC provides specific services that help players improve their efficiency, unlock new mechanics, and interact with the in-game economy.

#### Vlad

Vlad is responsible for the Forge system inside Ponsians. Through Vlad, players can merge resources to create higher tier materials. Bronze can be converted into Silver and Silver can be converted into Gold.

Every forge action requires a small amount of $PONX tokens, which creates a built in token burn mechanism. This system helps regulate the in game economy while also creating additional demand for the token. By upgrading resources through Vlad, players can increase the value of their mining output and prepare materials for Market activity.

#### Nakamoto

Satoshi Nakamoto is responsible for managing advanced economic mechanics inside the game. Through Satoshi, players can obtain the Satoshi Scroll, a special in game item that unlocks full participation in the reward pool. Players who own the scroll participate in one hundred percent of the reward pool while players without the scroll only participate in a limited portion.

The scroll also increases the daily mining limit by 200 and expands the backpack capacity by 100 slots, allowing players to mine more efficiently and participate more actively in the game economy.

Satoshi also offers Arena Tickets that allow players to gain additional Arena attempts. Players can purchase up to ten Arena tickets per day using $PONX tokens, giving them more opportunities to fight monsters and earn experience.

The price of the Satoshi Scroll and Arena tickets is adaptive and may change depending on the overall market capitalization of the $PONX token. This system allows the economy to remain balanced as the ecosystem grows.
