Internal Market

One of the most vital parts of the Secret of Praetoria economy is the internal market. The internal market will allow players to buy any of the 50+ resources that are part of the Secret of Praetoria expansion for DEC, sell them for DEC, or swap them for any other resource using Automated Market Making (AMM) liquidity pools. Players will also be the ones who will provide the liquidity to these pools, and have the ability to earn both the special Elixir resource as well as DEC tokens from trading fees in return. One interesting thing to note is that providing liquidity on the internal markets will be one of the only ways that players will be able to directly earn DEC tokens in the entire game.

The economy is intended to be set up in such a way that most players - even those with significant land holdings - will not be able to produce all of the different resources that they need by themselves and will need to trade for them on the internal market. This should lead to high trading volumes which will provide significant fees to liquidity providers and encourage lots of resources and DEC to be allocated to the liquidity pools.

Each of the resources will have a single pool paired with DEC in the internal market. When players want to swap one resource for another, they can submit a single, seamless blockchain transaction which will swap the first resource for DEC, and then swap the DEC for the second resource. They can also sell a resource for DEC, or buy a specific resource with DEC.
