# 5.2 Play-To-Earn

$PLAY tokens enable a monetary incentive that is tied directly to a pet owner’s ability to effectively care for their pet. This adds real-world stakes to the Tamagotchi concept. Earn $PLAY tokens for keeping your PlayDoge healthy and completing mini-games. However, if your PlayDoge is not adequately looked after, it can either run away or die. So stay engaged and maintain your pet to keep earning more $PLAY rewards!
