Gold is Kintara's main in-game soft currency. It is not a blockchain token. Players use Gold for shops, property, pets, cosmetics, casino bets, and other in-game systems.
Gold is most reliably earned by turning a fixed material bundle in to the Traveling Merchant.

Merchant bundle
The Traveling Merchant accepts this fixed bundle per ticket entry for the Personal Merchant lottery:
A 5% resource tax is burned from all submitted materials regardless of outcome. Winning tickets grant 1 Gold. Losing tickets refund the remaining 95% of materials.
$KINS holding and daily ticket entries
How many lottery tickets a player receives per bundle depends on their $KINS holdings. Daily Quests must be completed before submitting.

Players earn contribution points by donating materials, which determine how much Gold they can claim from the pool when it fills.
