Coins are an in-game currency you can spend on shop items, faction stuff, crate keys, cosmetics, and more. Yes, some things you buy with Coins give small advantages. But every Coin purchase goes directly to server costs. You support the server. You get a little bonus. Fair trade. The pay to win cancels out when the money keeps CrabSMP alive for everyone. Nothing is locked behind a paywall forever. You can earn it all by playing. Support the server, get a bonus, keep the crabs happy. 🦀
