On top of that, Civitia has one non-tradable in-game currency: Tax Points.\ \ Additionally, Civitia SILVER and GOLD are soulbound tokens that reflect players activity and achievements in Civitia.

Currency	Description	Utility
INIT	Initia native token	Required to play and perform basic actions: Playing and paying rents Minting city units All rent payments are also distributed to users in INIT.
Tax Points	Utility game currency	Tax points can be earned and spent but are not transferable and therefore have no utility outside Civitia (they cannot be exchanged).
SILVER	Soulbound token	SILVER is non-transferrable. It is a metric to show how much a user is contributing to Civitia. Initia's VIP distribution is based on SILVER earnings.
GOLD	Soulbound token	GOLD is non-transferrable. It is a metric to show how much a user contributed to Civitia Incentivized Testnet.
