DERP is the fungible utility token that powers the Derp Birds universe. Think of it like an arcade token, it’s earned through in-game activity and spent across the ecosystem to access deeper layers of gameplay, upgrades, and collectibles.
While users may interact with DERP in many ways, it’s important to understand that DERP is not directly earned through gameplay or staking. Instead, users earn Derp Dollars (DD), a centralised point system used to level up accounts. As players accumulate DD, they may choose to convert it to DERP at the Derp Exchange.
Although DERP itself isn't rewarded directly, players can obtain it by earning DD through various in-game and ecosystem activities, then converting their DD to DERP.
Ways to earn DD (which can then be exchanged for DERP):
Earn DD by staking your Derp NFTs over time.
Participate in the Gold Rush and fortify yours or someone else's outposts.
Earn DD for helping keep the floor price stable or above target.
Complete in-game objectives and milestones to collect DD rewards.
Once you’ve got DERP, it can be used throughout the Derp ecosystem, in both on-chain and off-chain formats, to unlock content, access exclusive features, and fuel progression.
Key uses of DERP:
Upgrade outpost structures
Unlock various lotteries and reward systems
Perform in-game actions
Craft or trade in-game items
Convert legacy Derp Birds to V2 format
DERP’s utility will continue to expand as the Derp ecosystem grows, offering more ways for players to engage meaningfully through a token they can earn, spend, and trade.
