# Time Coupon

<figure><img src="/files/B6wE3eW2AnnKbG5JZlO4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Building time coupons are used to reduce the time it takes to construct, level up, and tier up (=Evolution) a building. Time Coupons are earned solely by participating in the ecosystem and are available to anyone with an OrbCity passport. Since Time Coupons are not sold separately, they will be priced according to their market value.

$$
1~~hr~~Value~~in~~Building={Lay~~Mining~~per\~Day\[Lev.\alpha]\over 24}
$$

The value of an hour is different for each building, as the level and tier of the building determines the production of $Lay 007. Therefore, the value of the time coupon will be dynamically measured by the market economy.

## How to get the Time Coupons?

When ecosystem users with an OrbCity Passport do Lay-Bouring, building owners and lay-bours can earn time coupons. The number and probability of earning time coupons are related to the property value of the building, **Lay-Bour**, and are detailed below.
