# ATE CREDITS - Play2Earn Credits are an off-chain in-game currency that serves as a bridge between the game and the economy. Before final release, credits will be fully convertible to $ASCEND tokens. ## Earn Users can earn credits by looting, farming, winning tournaments or challenges. Selling items to traders will generate credits as well. ### Conversion Compared to [ATE HONOR - Win2Earn](/ascend-the-end-whitepaper/economy/ate-honor-win2earn.md) which rate will not change, ATE CREDITS will reduce its value compared to $ASCEND. This aligns with Play and Earn mechanics that will reward **ALL** early adopters and testers at the start, but as Ascend the End becomes complete, we want to move towards a more stable economy and Win 2 Earn. This will grant players ATE HONOR, and in this stage, Play 2 Earn will generate just a few percentages of total rewards given to players This conversion should follow dynamics where players earn more if there are fewer players, meaning the game is in an early stage. Essentially, we would reward players to stay and increase retention in the first phases of the game. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
