Zeeverse aims to offer a casual gaming experience while also incentivizing dedicated players to seek the bigger picture. It's a place where turn-based strategy meets exploration, the thrill of collecting, and the player's drive to create.

The current implementation of [PVE](/gameplay/pve.md) and [PVP](/gameplay/pvp.md) gameplay focuses on turn-based strategy with smooth visuals and prioritizes a manageable level of depth for new players. Additionally, live events and quests deliver immersive storylines, with rewards in the form of relics, equipment, and other items that tie into the in-game economy.

In the long run, however, Zeeverse aims to build a massive player-led economy, requiring the cooperation of numerous Shamans to compete for Land, Resources, and Rewards. This economy is underpinned by Coins and $VEE, connecting gameplay with the broader player-driven market.

## Energy

Energy is the base unit of progress in Zeeverse. It directly reflects the time you have invested in training your Zee -  accruing inherent value and acting as proof or progress. And when players trade their Zee on a marketplace like [Opensea](https://opensea.io/collection/zeeverse-zee), they effectively trade time.

All players have **10 energy units** at their disposal. Energy is used when you venture into [Dungeons](/gameplay/pve/classic-dungeons.md) and regenerates at a rate of **1 energy per hour**. Energy is not used up when you fight in PvP, participate in [Events](/gameplay/events.md), or skilling.

## Rewards & Progression

When you complete Dungeons or Quests you earn relics, equipment, or other items. These are converted into Coins, which are the in-game currency. Coins can be spent on upgrades and progression, or exchanged for $VEE up to the amount a player has deposited on that chain. $VEE is then used for specific sinks such as Zee evolutions, PvP wagering, powering up traits, or trading in the GEX marketplace, which operates on liquidity pools (e.g. Energy Potion/$VEE pairs).

Over time, as you advance, you also unlock more powerful upgrades, trait improvements, equipment drops, and rare relics. Future expansions will introduce additional categories of rewards and progression systems.
