Purpose: AI-readable reference for Structs marketplace mechanics, Alpha Matter exchange, tradeable assets, and on-chain precision.
Trading enables resource exchange between players. Alpha Matter is the primary tradeable asset—refined, on-chain, and non-stealable. Energy agreements provide another tradeable dimension (capacity subscriptions). A marketplace exists for various assets.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Unit | grams |
| On-chain precision | 1 gram = 1,000,000 micrograms (ualpha) |
| Stealable | No (refined Alpha Matter is secure) |
| Uses | Energy production, trading, guild collateral |
Format: Amounts in API responses use micrograms (string integer). Example: "1000000" = 1 gram.
| Asset | Tradeable | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha Matter | Yes | Primary medium of exchange |
| Energy (capacity) | Yes | Via energy agreements; see energy-market.md |
| Guild tokens | Yes | Backed by collateral; trust-dependent |
| Ore (unrefined) | Indirect | Mined then refined; ore itself not directly traded on marketplace |
| Unit | Micrograms | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 1 gram | 1,000,000 | Standard unit |
| 0.000001 g | 1 | Minimum precision |
All Alpha Matter amounts use integer micrograms for on-chain consistency. Avoid floating-point; use string representation for large values.
