Virtual Pigeon Racing runs on the Polygon blockchain. However, on the VPR platform, prices are shown in US dollars (USD) for clarity, and the system converts that amount in real time to the equivalent value on Polygon when you complete a transaction (for example entering a paid race or buying a pigeon).
Prices shown in USD
In VPR, you will typically see USD pricing for things like:
Race entry prices
Marketplace buy and sell prices for pigeons
This helps players compare costs without needing to think in crypto amounts.
How payments work on Polygon
Even though prices are displayed in USD, transactions are processed on Polygon, which means:
Paid actions can require a small amount of POL to complete (for example, paid race entries).
Your wallet is used to approve transactions and store your assets.
Example
If a race entry is displayed as $5, VPR will calculate what that equals on Polygon at that moment, show you the transaction in your wallet, and then process the payment on-chain after you approve it.
