Zenless Zone Zero has a variety of currencies but the main ones are:
- Polychromes
- Master Tapes
- Boopons
- Monochromes
- Dennies
Each of these currencies has a specific use case and usually doesn’t overlap.
Zenless Zone Zero Polychromes
Polychromes in Zenless Zone Zero are the equivalent of Primogems from Genshin Impact and Stellar Jades in Honkai: Star Rail. You can use Polychromes to buy Master Tapes or replenish your battery.
Zenless Zone Zero Master Tapes
Master Tapes in Zenless Zone Zero acts as your Fates from Genshin Impact and Rail Passes in Honkai: Star Rail. This means that the tapes are only used in pulling from banners, which are called channels in Zenless Zone Zero.
There are two kinds of Master Tapes: Master Tapes, and Encrypted Master Tapes. Master Tapes are used to pull from the stable channel which is the standard banner. Encrypted Master Tapes are used to pull from the exclusive channel which is the game’s rate-up banner.
Boopons in Zenless Zone Zero
Boopons are exclusive only to Zenless Zone Zero. This is the currency you will use to pull from the Bangboo channel for new Bangboos. You can earn them from Events, Hollow Zero, and the New Eridu City Fund.
You will unlock the Bangboo channel once you reach Inter-Knot level 20.
Zenless Zone Zero Monochromes
Monochromes are the premium currencies in Zenless Zone Zero. They are bought with real money and are usually exchanged for Polychromes. The ratio for the exchange is 1:1.
Zenless Zone Zero Dennies
Dennies are the in-game currency of Zenless Zone Zero. You can earn Dennies in various ways including questing. Dennies are used to purchase items from the convenience store on Sixth Street. They are also used as a fee for dismantling and crafting, as well as other game mechanics.

Zenless Zone Zero has other currencies aside from the main ones we’ve mentioned:
- Residual Signals

Residual Signals, Fading Signals, and Bangbucks in Zenless Zone Zero
Residual Signals, Fading Signals, and Bangbucks can be used in signal exchange. Residual Signals can be obtained from stable and exclusive channels if you pull a character that you already have. Fading Signals can be obtained from the stable and exclusive channels by simply pulling from the banners. Bangbucks are obtained from the Bangboo channel with the same method.
Each tab represents the currency you will be using whenever you buy an item.
