In a recent document, Alaska Gold Rush released a detailed overview of the gold rush economy. While describing the general structure of the economy, the game highlighted strong and weak points and evaluated the different game modes and mechanics. Alaska Gold Rush created the economy as a solution to the unsustainable economies offered by numerous play-to-earn games on the platform. 

Alaska Gold Rush Economic Model 

The new economy features in-game hard and soft currencies dedicated to on-chain and off-chain uses. There are different game modes affecting the overall economic model of the game and the player base. Players must be cautious of certain required characteristics needed to mine to obtain Gold. Other consumable items like food or weapons can be obtained at the shop. 

There are two in-game currencies namely Gold and $CARAT. Players can collect and extract Gold and other resources from mines. The mined Gold can be stored in a mine owned by the player or kept with a Landowner. In the latter case, the player goes with a particular percentage while the remainder goes to the landowner. Players require $CARAT to purchase a mine, the price is dependent on the size of the mine. Mines come in three different sizes: small, medium, and large. 

Due to certain unfavorable weather conditions in some Alaskan locations, players need to buy the necessary equipment and items for the expedition. The in-game asset will help players survive staying overnight and survive in the wilderness. Players must also keep their eye on the following game variables: HP Bar, Temperature, Hunger, Energy, and Endurance. 

In preparation for the battle, players can prepare, equip weapons and make decisions at the Arena loop. They can proceed to engage in PvP Mode in the Arenas. New players can take refuge in the  Casual/Practice Mode, they can test their strategy, weapon, and skill in this mode.
