Soul is a TRC-20 and ERC-20 Token (or coin), that is unique to ChainZ Arena.

* Top positions in the Arena
* Cryptogon duels
* Limited Time Events

##### Exchanges

Soul can be traded at different **exchanges**:

* Soul / **TRX**
	+ Trontrade
	+ Poloni Dex
* Soul / **EOS**
	+ Newdex

##### Soul Drops

Quoted from the guide:

*In this section you find the current SOUL drops status. You will be able to see the current amount of crypto currency in each of the 3 pools Ethereum, Eos and Tron. It will also show you the amount of SOUL coins you currently have frozen and the amount of SOUL coins you can freeze.*

*You SOUL coins need to be frozen in order to receive the daily drops which are every 24 hours.*

*(...)*

*Another important this to mention is that you must login once every 24 hours into ChainZ Arena to be counted in as an active player. The SOUL drops of players that are not active in the 24 hour window will simply go back into the pool for the active players to share.*

*To claim your daily SOUL drops you need to do this manually and the funds will be transferred to your in-Game wallet from which you will be able to disperse your funds to your own wallet/wallets.*

For more details about Soul, please read the guide and How to Claim send and freeze SOUL.
