# Game economy & token distribution The tokenomics of Walken is fueled with only one token, that is **$WLKN**, limited in supply and traded on exchanges. Consequently, its price is influenced by a number of factors, with *players’ behavior* being a significant one. The Walken gameplay determines the best strategy for players to succeed: play, earn and **reinvest** $WLKN tokens **in the game** (through *purchasing CAThletes* and *equipment* on the Marketplace and continuously *leveling-up* CAThletes) to be able to **maximize their income**. ![](/files/BTyyCuiBOypTcwY2vWDD) Moreover, a competitive gameplay system makes a continuous *upgrade* of CAThletes and *acquiring* more CAThletes the **only option** to keep earning in a **highly-competitive** market setting, given that a large number of competitors are **constantly reinvesting** into the game to score higher and earn more. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
