## When to hold each

### BINI

You want BINI when:

* Staking on Binibit Exchange (160% APR)
* Paying gas on BiniChain
* Buying lottery tickets in Bini App (Phase 2)
* Spawning Agent Tokens on AgentT Launchpad
* Holding for long-term ecosystem appreciation

### wBINI

You want wBINI when:

* Providing liquidity on BaiDEX
* Trading via BaiDEX swaps
* Participating in wBINI/USBI or wBINI/Agent Token pools

Wrap from BINI 1:1, unwrap back any time.

### USBI

You want USBI when:

* Providing liquidity on BaiDEX (USBI side)
* Trading on USBI/Agent Token pools
* Earning yield from sandbox-economy LP

USBI is **bounded by your XP entitlement** in the Bini App. You cannot acquire USBI outside the entitlement system.

### CRS

You earn CRS by playing the Bini App. CRS is what you spend on:

* Lesson upgrades (income engine)
* Bridge A → USBI (DEX entry)
* Skins, lottery (CRS-priced versions), boosts

CRS does not leave the Bini App database — fully off-chain.

    CRS -- "Bridge A · 10,000:1" --> USBI
    BINIoff -- "Bridge B · 1:1" --> BINInative
    BINInative -- "wrap · 1:1" --> wBINI

## Sandbox vs Mainnet

| Phase       | BINI | wBINI | USBI                   | CRS                      |
| ----------- | ---- | ----- | ---------------------- | ------------------------ |
| **Sandbox** | Real | Real  | Sandbox \$             | Virtual                  |
| **Mainnet** | Real | Real  | Replaced or stabilized | Virtual (off-chain only) |

The sandbox→mainnet transition primarily affects USBI, which today is a bounded-supply sandbox stablecoin and may evolve into something different at mainnet (audited stablecoin, replaced asset, etc.). The exact transition is on the [roadmap](/changelog).

## Which to learn first

Pick by goal:

| Goal                            | Start with                                        |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| I want to invest in the token   | [BINI](/bini-token/overview)                      |
| I want to provide DEX liquidity | [wBINI](/baidex/overview) (wrap BINI)             |
| I want to play the app          | [CRS](/bini-app/overview)                         |
| I want to use the DEX           | [USBI](/tokenomics/usbi-bridge) (bridge from CRS) |
