# Utility of EWARS

The main purpose of EWARS is to serve as in-game currency that players can earn by participating in battles. 

**With EWARS tokens, players will be able to:**

* Cross mages;
* Build and upgrade structures;
* Craft potions and food;
* Speed up crafting, crossing and building structures.

**Usage Example #1**: EWARS are needed for crossbreeding

* To cross two mages you must have, depending on the number of offspring a character has already given: 250, 500, 1000, 2000 EWARS.
* All EWARS spent on crossing are placed in the reward pool.

**Usage Example #2**: Accelerating Building, Crafting, and Crossbreeding

* All actions in the game (building, crafting, crossing) can be accelerated for EWARS.

**EWARS are distributed back to the players through the reward pool:**

* All EWARS spent by players (building, crossing, crafting, etc.) are sent to the awards pool.
* EWARS from the reward pool will be given to players for winning PVP or defeating bosses.
