# Revising our Economy

As previously covered, when Vulcan Forged devised the PYR economy between late 2020, the Elysium Blockchain, MetaScapes and all games and concepts other than VulcanVerse, Berserk, BlockBabies and early versions of Forge Arena and Battle Chess were. The alpha version of VulcanVerse was in its most basic form, launched for a select few NFT landowners on December 31st 2020 and at this time, PYR token economics were only at the discussion stage.&#x20;

By February 2021, the original PYR whitepaper was released, which detailed the gaming ecosystem as it was, the transition from VeChain (VET) to PYR (ERC-20 ported to MATIC | Polygon), PYR reward pools, marketplace fees and off-chain LAVA crystals (the forerunner to today's on-chain LAVA gaming token). Dynamic God NFTs were also covered along with VulcanVerse land plot staking and ILO financials and the token generation event.&#x20;

With the many changes seen since the issue of the original PYR whitepaper, the Vulcan Forged economy required a revision for purposes of economic balance and increased user levels, something that the team have worked on since quarter two 2022. This economic revision focuses on long-term sustainability and a thriving, scalable circular economy.

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

```
GET https://vulcan-forged.gitbook.io/whitepaper/white-paper/a-general-introduction-to-vulcan-forged/revising-our-economy.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.
