It serves as an **indicator for managers**, helping guide trading and gameplay decisions, but it **does not dictate the acceptance of offers**. Only the card owner can accept or reject any offer.

**Factors Affecting Market Value**

1. **Last Transactions**
   * Recent sale prices of the card influence its baseline market value.
   * Higher recent sales push the market value upward, while lower sales can decrease it.
2. **Offers Received**
   * Open offers from other managers are factored into the card’s market price.
   * **Only offers above 50% of the current market value are considered valid**, preventing market price manipulation.
   * **Note:** Acceptance of any offer is fully at the discretion of the manager; market value is only a reference.
3. **Supply & Demand**
   * Limited card supply for an athlete increases value if demand is high.
   * Conversely, cards with low demand or abundant supply may see a lower price.
4. **Performance Impact**
   * Athlete achievements, social media activity, and participation in events **directly influence card value**.
   * High-performing athletes’ cards tend to appreciate faster than inactive or underperforming athletes.
5. **Blockchain Influence**
   * All card ownership and transactions are recorded on **Ethereum**, ensuring transparency and verifiability.
   * The blockchain helps secure value and prevents tampering with transaction history.
6. **Hourly Recalculation**
   * Market values are **recalculated every hour** to reflect the latest activity, offers, and performance metrics.

**How to Track Market Value**

* **Marketplace & Manager Sales**: Check listed prices, auctions, and recent sales to gauge trends.
* **Card Details**: Each card shows its **current market value**, updating hourly based on blockchain data, transactions, offers, and performance.

**Tips for Managers**

* Treat market value as an **informative indicator**, not a binding rule.
* Buy under-valued cards early in the season and watch performance to increase potential resale value.
* Monitor athlete activity and social growth for insights on upcoming value spikes.
* Only **accept offers that make sense for your strategy**, regardless of market value.

**Summary:**\
Market value is a dynamic reflection of **last transactions + offers (≥50% of market value) + supply/demand + performance impact**, recalculated hourly and secured on the **Ethereum blockchain**. While it guides decision-making, **managers have full control over accepting or rejecting offers**.
