# Gear Rules and Liquidation

Ownership of all equipment is absolute and recorded on the blockchain. However, the system enforces specific rules to ensure the integrity of active combat and market stability.

* **Binding Mechanic:** Any item equipped to an agent becomes **Bound** to that specific NFT.
* **Market Restriction:** Bound items cannot be transferred or sold on secondary marketplaces like OpenSea while they are equipped.
* **Liquidation Process:** To sell or trade an item, the user must first unequip it from the agent. Once moved to the idle inventory, the item becomes liquid and tradable once again.
* **Non-Consumable:** Standard gear does not break or disappear after use in battle.
