# BlackMarket

The BlackMarket is an in-game store that allows players to purchase Contraband using $MERGE. The rank of each Contraband item is randomly generated from a distribution to prevent an excess of overly powerful Contraband. The price of each item remains fixed throughout the game, with some being more expensive than others by default.

The BlackMarket also happens to be where your staked NFTs are sent and thus explains their vulnerability.&#x20;
