Frequently asked questions
What is Big Time (BIGTIME) and how is it different from other game tokens?
BIGTIME is the utility token of the Big Time RPG, a fast-paced multiplayer game where players collect and trade NFT-based items. Unlike many game tokens that exist purely for speculation, BIGTIME has a clear in-game role: it's spent on crafting and refining items and can be earned through gameplay. Its supply is capped at 5 billion coins, which sets it apart from tokens with unlimited or inflationary issuance.
How does Big Time work technologically?
BIGTIME is an ERC-20 token issued on the Ethereum blockchain, so it inherits Ethereum's proof-of-stake security and infrastructure. In-game assets like weapons and armor are NFTs, which players genuinely own in their own wallets rather than on the company's servers. The token itself acts as the economic glue between gameplay, crafting and the NFT marketplace.
How is BIGTIME issuance structured?
The token has a hard cap of 5,000,000,000 coins — no more will ever be created. New tokens enter circulation mainly through gameplay rewards, meaning players earn BIGTIME by playing rather than the supply being minted at will. This fixed cap is designed to prevent runaway inflation of the in-game economy.
How can you store and use BIGTIME?
Since BIGTIME is an ERC-20 token, any Ethereum-compatible wallet like MetaMask or a hardware wallet works for storage. In practice, most players keep it in the in-game wallet linked to their Big Time account for convenience. Uses include paying for crafting and refining NFT items, trading on the marketplace, and transferring it to exchanges or other wallets like any standard token.
