# What is the Vault?

Once the game is live, players will be able to spend ETH in exchange for various in-game items and functions. This ETH is stored in the Vault. Players can also spend money on the IlluviDEX, where they trade ETH for items that other players own. 5% of the value of these transactions go to the Vault.
