# How to earn and participate **The Alpha Kongs Club Ecosystem uses a multi-part economy:** * Alpha Coins provide the currency that powers the ecosystem * Alpha Kongs Club NFTs represent the players, however, you do not need an Alpha Kongs NFT to start earning and engaging * Players unite under Tribes to work towards a shared goal * Tribe Items are unique assets of these Tribes that provide earnings There are multiple strategies to participate in the ecosystem. To earn passive Alpha Coins income, you must acquire assets, aka Tribe Items. You can stake Alpha Kong NFTs in your tribe items for increased earnings, and unlock multiple bonuses to earn more. In the tokenomics section, you can find out everything about daily earnings, bonuses, staking and more. **The future is exciting!** Players also get to participate in the future of the Ecosystem. A lot more is coming, but all decisions will be community-driven. All participants are invited to vote in our DAO and shape the web3 brand of Alpha Kongs Club as they see fit. We're building many ways to earn, and even more ways to play and connect. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
