# 5.1 Basics (Econ / EVT)

In SyFu, when you check in and BIND your payment data, you can earn either **Econ (in-game currency)** or **EVT (utility token)**.

At each Check-in, you must **choose one**:

* If EVT conditions are not met, **Econ is granted automatically**.
* If EVT conditions are met, you can choose between the two — **but only one** can be selected.

***

#### **Econ (In-game Token)**

* **Nature**: In-game currency only (not tradable externally).
* **Unlock**: Starts once your NFT reaches **Mini (Lv.3+)**.
* **Use cases**: NFT growth, repairs, check-in recovery, item box opening, breeding costs.\
