Dark Steel is a free-to-play **P2E game, that is it includes an entire F2P** economy and progression and participates in the main features of **Blockchain games**, to allow an open economy and a free market of **NFT items** and **tokens** between players.

The player has the possibility to play only the **F2P version**, everything he gets in the game will be non-NFT objects, and the **coins** he generates can be used within his session to perform the different functionalities that these objects allow: **Merge**, **improve** or **melt**, are recurring game mechanics for player progress. Coins cannot be traded or sold outside of the user's F2P account.

However, at any time the player can **link his wallet** to his user account. Once a wallet is linked to a user account, the player will be able to access the P2E game and see how the **NFT objects they** own have been assigned to their inventory.
