# Dream Refinery

*DREAM is the single critical resource cultivated and predicates the Dream Realm. It powers the Dreamland ecosystem allowing the impossible to occur.*

*It connects dreams and brings imagination to reality breathing life into the protagonists that scour this new world by acting both as a productive asset (the ‘ETH’ to partner ERC20s) and as the token that fuels every transaction and interaction.*

*Drawing from the well-known blockchain concept "Proof of Work" we are able to reward the "work" of players, represented by the time, effort and inputs involved in refining $DREAM. As $DREAM becomes progressively limited, the "work" too becomes more arduous.*

*Desire for $DREAM is a state not unlike Hunger.*

**Act I: The Fracture**

The initial distribution of DREAM is proposed to take place over a course of 30 Days through staking Genesis Dreamers. This event is known as [The Fracture](/dreamland/dream-litepaper/dream-refinery/act-i-the-fracture.md).

During this period of time, various lock ups will be an option with multiplier bonuses depending on the duration. Maximum DREAM emissions emitted during this period will be 125,150 - but less may be emitted if multipliers are not used optimally. Following this, Dreamers will cease to emit Dream and this will bring us into the next act.

**Act II: The Abyss**

The [Arcane Abyss](/dreamland/dream-litepaper/dream-refinery/act-ii-arcane-abyss.md) represents the fundamental staking system.

A minimum threshold of DREAM is required to be staked within the [Arcane Abyss](/dreamland/dream-litepaper/dream-refinery/act-ii-arcane-abyss.md), [Eternal Hold](/dreamland/dream-litepaper/dream-refinery/act-iii-the-eternal-hold.md) and across the broader Dream Ecosystem to breathe life into Dreamlands Productivity.

Long-Term DREAM Staking Emissions are composed of 30% of the supply with half of the staking pool emitted each year, followed by an annual “halvening.” Claimable emissions are distributed daily based on staking score.
