# Introduction

## What is Kashed?

Kashed is an on-chain idle strategy game built on Monad.

Players acquire Printers, upgrade them, and generate $KASH over time. Rewards can be claimed, reinvested, or used to strengthen production as players compete within a shared economy where every action influences the whole network.

As the network grows, production becomes increasingly competitive. Every new Printer introduced into the ecosystem affects global reward generation, creating a constant race between expansion and efficiency.

The earlier players build and optimize their Printer network, the greater their potential share of rewards.

### The Economy

Kashed uses a Dynamic Difficulty system.

Whenever a new Printer is minted anywhere in the ecosystem, the global production rate adjusts.

This means:

* More Printers increase network competition.
* Production efficiency gradually decreases over time.
* Earlier Printers generally operate under more favorable conditions.

As adoption grows, players are incentivized to optimize and expand before future network growth impacts production rates.

Dynamic Difficulty introduces a competitive layer to an otherwise passive experience and creates meaningful timing decisions throughout gameplay.

**Every $KASH spent in-game upgrades is permanently burned.**

*More details on gameplay mechanics, progression systems, and launch features will be revealed closer to release.*

## 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.

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

```
GET https://kashed.gitbook.io/kashed-docs/introduction.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.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
