# How is the value of GLD and BLOC tokens maintained in the long term?

The value of GLD and BLOC tokens is maintained through a combination of carefully designed tokenomics, a robust in-game economy, and continuous development and growth of the BlocTale ecosystem.

For GLD tokens, the value is maintained by controlling the token supply and ensuring that there are sufficient use cases and demand for the token within the game. The inflationary nature of GLD is balanced by burning a portion of the fees collected from the marketplace and other in-game transactions. This mechanism helps prevent excessive devaluation of the token while supporting the need for new GLD in the game.

BLOC tokens derive their value from their role in the BlocTale DAO, where token holders have the power to make governance decisions and influence the future development of the game. As the game grows and evolves, the demand for BLOC tokens is expected to increase, driving their value upwards. The final supply and distribution plan for BLOC tokens is subject to ongoing discussions and may be adjusted to further enhance the long-term value proposition.

Furthermore, the introduction of new features, content, and partnerships ensures that both players and investors remain interested and engaged in the BlocTale ecosystem, which helps maintain the value of GLD and BLOC tokens in the long term.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://whitepaper.bloctale.com/bloctale/faq/how-is-the-value-of-gld-and-bloc-tokens-maintained-in-the-long-term.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
