	During [[Survival 2]], hourly '''Boosts''' were introduced as a way of earning DCD, after the main previous method, monthly patreon rewards, needed to be replaced due to a change to the EULA. The default boost rate was initially 10 Ð/hour, however this could be increased by server-wide boosts activated by patreons, which were part of Patreon rewards but could also be separately purchased. The server boost fluctuated dramatically, with a peak of 17,000 DCD around the launch of [[Survival 3]] which led to significant economic uncertainty. To fix this, at the start of [[Survival 4 ]] the boost rate was fixed to be based on ReNDoG's monthly patreon income and the ability to purchase extra boosts was removed.

			* At the start of [[Survival 4]], the Dogcraft Dollar balances were once again reset for all players, this time also resetting previous purchases from the website including homes and claim blocks. This provided every player with a clean slate and equal footing after the transition to the new website and server.
			* At the start of [[Survival 5]], the Dogcraft Dollar balances were reset completely like for Survival 4, providing a clean slate. The server economy was reworked, including a new formula for the hourly boost.

			==== Economy 3.0 ====
			After end of Survival 4, Dogcraft Dollars, homes and claim purchasing did not return immediately upon Survival 5's launch. In the final months of Survival 4, several suggestions were made for changes for the next world, and before the reset, ReNDoG requested an overhaul to the server's entire economy for Survival 5. This process took several months, with DCD, homes and claim purchasing returning on 2022 June 20th along with the launch of the Survival 5 mall, three months after the reset.

			This rework included a new formula for the hourly boost, and exponentially increasing private and linearly increasing public home costs with a discount for patreons. The overall result was a large increase in the value of Dogcraft Dollars.

	Besides bartering, Diamonds are commonly used as an alternative currency.

In addition to this, a rule is in place that restricts the sale of diamonds to a minimum of 200 DCD per gem. (Rule suspended as of updating to 1.17.1)
