# Obtaining Gin

Gin ($gin) is an invaluable resource used for buildings and upgrades in Gate of Abyss. There are various ways to obtain Gin if you are looking to obtain more.

## Earn Gin Through Gameplay

Gin may be earned by defeating Chthonians in game. There will be a chance of receiving Gin as a reward when defeating Chthonians in battle, and the chances of Gin dropping increases as you fight stronger enemies.

There are guaranteed Gin rewards if you are a top contributor when a Reaper is successfully defeated. These rewards can be seen when you click into a portal.

## Buying Gin From Market (In-Game)

Gin can be bought from the Market as in-game purchases by accessing the "Market" icon in the general HUD. Gin is currently sold as Gin Packs containing 1,000 Gin. This in-game purchase can be paid with your credit card.

## Earning Gin From Staking TipsyCoin

Gin can be earned by staking [TipsyCoin](https://tipsycoin.io/) ($tipsy), our native cryptocurrency. Depending on the amount of $tipsy you stake, you will earn a certain amount of Gin as a daily reward.

The Gin you earn from staking will exist as a cryptocurreny on Binance Smart Chain (BSC). It will also be available on the Ethereum Mainnet in future.

You can then convert Gin you own on the blockchain to in-game Gin for use in Gate of Abyss.
