# BIT & BIT(Spot)

Use BIT for on-chain activities. Use BIT(spot) for in-metaverse transactions.

### 💰 What is **BIT?**

BIT is the primary in-game utility token. It serves as the essential material and energy source of Bit.Country. Users can earn BIT in the [Material Campaign](/user-manual/staking/material-campaign.md) by staking NEER or staking NEER in an Estates.&#x20;

BIT is perpetual and settled on the blockchain, making it highly secure, similar to cold storage. It is intended for **future on-chain activities**, such as decentralized exchanges. Users are advised to accumulate BIT on the blockchain and [convert amounts into BIT(Spot)](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-Mix9LmLFY4C6rB8EhjM/s/UmYKzaqvyDZcUSLKTr99/~/changes/108/getting-started/bit-and-bit-spot/how-to-transfer-bit-into-bit-spot) for daily transactions.

BIT is produced continuously in mining rounds that take about 24 hours to complete. A specific BIT amount is mined each round with a 15% inflation rate in the first year (subject to change to avoid inflation). Once a round is completed, the mined BIT is distributed to participating users.&#x20;

Initial Circulating Supply: 1 Billion BIT&#x20;
