Other functions

Deposit and Withdrawal: There are three crypto tokens used in the game. 

CBX: This is the native token of the game economy and runs on the Ethereum Blockchain. You can deposit and withdraw CBX using the ERC – 20 network. 

TRX: This used to be the old in-game currency that is under migration to CBX. You might still come across TRX markets in the exchange, this is to provide a way around the heavy gas fees on the ETH blockchain.
