Any world with land, credits, and a marketplace borrows the language of economies. That language carries obligations. Players who spend an evening discovering parcels deserve to know exactly what their balance represents — and what it does not.
Our position is simple and published: HVC, the credit used in the Holovate world, is free to receive, lives on an auditable off-chain ledger, and has no monetary value. It cannot be bought or sold. There is no exchange listing, no market price, and no HVC contract live on any public blockchain today. We keep a transparency page so nobody has to reverse-engineer that from marketing copy.
Transparency is also mechanical, not just editorial. Every ledger transaction is hash-chained to the previous one, the full state is re-hashed after each write, and a public audit endpoint exposes the counts and the current hash. Honesty you can curl is worth more than honesty you have to trust.
Immersive technology is persuasive by nature — that is the point of presence. The more convincing a world becomes, the more its operators owe players plain language about what is real inside it. We would rather set that expectation early than retrofit it later.
