Forgotten Playland (FP) is an ERC-20 token deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, functioning as the primary digital currency within the Forgotten Playland game ecosystem. Forgotten Playland itself is an online, free-to-play social game featuring a variety of mini-games and competitive experiences, designed to combine entertainment and digital ownership.

The game is built around a casual party-game model but incorporates blockchain features such as on-chain assets and token-based engagement. Players interact with the game using avatars known as PlushKyns, which can be customised through cosmetic traits. These assets, along with other elements in the game economy, are integrated with the FP token as the unit of exchange.

The FP token is intended solely for use within the Forgotten Playland game environment. Its main functions are:

• Cosmetic Purchases: FP can be used to acquire cosmetic items such as individual traits (e.g. eyes, accessories, backgrounds) or full avatar sets, enabling players to personalise their PlushKyn characters.

• Toy Boxes: FP tokens allow the purchase of Toy Boxes, which provide randomly assorted cosmetic items. These boxes follow rarity tiers, adding an element of collection and strategy to item acquisition.

• Tournament Access: Players can use FP to obtain PlushKyn Battle Tickets, which are required to enter scheduled competitive events. These tournaments offer FP rewards to top-performing players, thereby supporting a play-to-earn model within a controlled game economy.

• Game Store Economy: As the platform evolves, FP will underpin broader marketplace activities, including direct purchases and potentially peer-to-peer trading of digital items.
