How to Get Tokens in Blade Ball (2026)

Blade Ball Trade Plaza runs on a currency called Trade Tokens, separate from the Coins you earn through matches. Tokens are what let you buy sword skins, emotes, and explosions from other players instead of grinding for them or paying full price in Robux.

You don't need to spend money to build up tokens. Selling items you already own to other players works just as well. In this article, we'll explore how Trade Tokens work, how to access the Trade Plaza, and both ways to earn tokens: buying them directly or selling your own items.

How Tokens Work

Trade Tokens convert to Robux at a flat 1:1 rate, so 100 Robux gets you 100 tokens if you choose to buy them directly. The other route is selling your own sword skins, emotes, or explosions to other players in exchange for tokens, which costs nothing beyond the items you're willing to part with.

Items you've recently obtained, whether from a crate, a spin, a trade, or a booth purchase, carry a temporary trade lock before they can be resold. A few rare items are permanently locked because they were never officially released. Either way, hovering over an item shows exactly how much lock time is left.

How to Access the Trade Plaza

The Trade Plaza requires at least 1 win on your account before it unlocks, so brand new players will find it locked until they've won a match.

1. Look for the Server Selection portal near the game's spawn area and step on the Circle on the ground.

2. Choose Trade Plaza from the game mode list.

3. Once loaded in, you'll see other players walking around with their RAP displayed above their heads, showing the total value of what they're carrying.

RAP stands for Recent Average Price, and it's the game's running estimate of an item's worth based on how it's actually sold recently, not a fixed price set by the developers.

How to Sell Items for Tokens

Setting up your own stall to sell items only takes a few steps:

1. Walk up to any empty booth in the Trade Plaza.

2. Press E to claim the booth.

3. Inside The Booth, click Create Listing to add an item you want to sell.

4. Select the item, then type your asking price in the price field.

5. Confirm the listing by pressing Sell.

Each item's listing screen shows its current RAP and a graph icon that pulls up its RAP history over the past several days, along with how many sales it's had recently. Worth knowing before you list anything, the Trade Plaza takes a cut when an item sells. In one case, listing an item with a RAP of 5 for 5 tokens showed a payout of only 4 tokens after the sale, so the price you set isn't exactly what lands in your pocket.

Final Words

Getting tokens in Blade Ball comes down to two straightforward paths: buying them directly with Robux at a 1:1 rate, or selling items you no longer want through your own booth. Either way works, and neither requires spending money if you'd rather grind and sell than pay directly.
