# 2.5. TIME

TIME is the in-app virtual currency for objects that simulates a lifetime. Every 3D object placed in the Unisphere has a lifeTIME. It is counted in hours. When publishing objects in the metaverse, users set up TIME for them. One TIME is equal to 1 hour. When the TIME is up, objects will disappear. To prevent it users can add extra TIME to objects.

Users can get TIME with several mechanics:&#x20;

🔹 Receive TIME with registration in the Unisphere.&#x20;

🔹 Use the Unisphere via the New Layer app and get TIME for every usage day.&#x20;

🔹 Buy an extra TIME.&#x20;

🔹 Get TIME rewards for positive reactions to the objects they placed. The positive reactions will add a lifeTIME, and the negative will take it.
