Most blockchain games strip out their tokens and still function—players keep grinding, economies keep moving, nobody bats an eye. But TauntCoin's $TNT? That's a different beast entirely. Pull it from the ecosystem and everything collapses. Rewards vanish. Game mechanics break down. Every interaction, every system in the platform hinges on it. When a token becomes this integral to an entire economy—not just a transaction layer but the actual backbone—that's when you're looking at genuine protocol design. It's not cosmetic; it's structural. The difference between a token that's nice to have and one that's absolutely essential.
