Glossary

The Playnance Glossary offers clear definitions of all core terms across our ecosystem.

API Access	Developer entry point for reading on-chain data or triggering ecosystem actions from external platforms.
Be The Boss Model	Partner model enabling operators, creators, or communities to run their own on-chain hub with revenue share — without blockchain expertise.
Blockchain Explorer (PlayBlock Explorer)	Real-time dashboard for tracking transactions, emissions, rewards, portal revenue, and treasury activity.
Buyback & Burn	Smart contract mechanism that uses ecosystem revenue to buy G Coin from the market and permanently remove it from circulation.

G Coin (GCOIN)	Utility token powering gameplay fees, rewards, treasury flows, partner revenue, and mission cycles.
Gasless Transaction	A transaction executed without requiring user-held tokens; PlayBlock Gas Station covers the gas.
