# $LIGHT
$LIGHT is the premium currency that's used in the Light in the Dark ecosystem. It is the most highly sought-after item that exists as it is needed for almost every aspect of the game & it gives players a real value incentive for playing.
Before players can obtain $LIGHT, they must first accumulate light shards. Light shards are what players receive for exporting items, completing tasks, and doing other various things. These light shards can then be swapped into $LIGHT.\

**Players will face difficult decisions when it comes to upgrades as $LIGHT will be finite and used in other ways than just upgrading. Keeping some $LIGHT on hand at all times should be considered.**
