Currencies are used to buy generators, upgrades, traits, or boosters. They can be obtained by several ways, the most common being clicking and generators' production. Currently, there are a total of 37 currencies, excluding the alternate appearances of the Species currency in Life After Apocalypse.
All Currencies[]
General[]
Darwinium[]
"Darwinium is the most valuable resource in the universe!" — Semblance
Darwinium 
is a premium currency in Cell to Singularity, obtained by purchasing with money, from the Darwinium Synthesizer, or from news giveaway. It is used in place of watching an advertisement to use boosters, gain additional currencies, or for buying Geodes, stars in Galactic Nursery, or certain Trophy Upgrades. For more information, see Darwinium.
Primary Simulation[]
Entropy[]
"You've collected some Entropy!" ― System Log
Entropy 
is the first currency in the game, and is used to power biological evolution and grow from species to species. It can be generated from the very start of the game, simply by tapping on the background. Entropy allows you to buy Upgrades, Trophy Upgrades, and Generators, most related to life. Over time, as you purchase more Generators and Upgrades, more Entropy will be generated both passively from your purchases and from more tapping.
Ideas[]
"All things begin with an idea, and we start a brand-new means of evolution.
One thought breeds another as the human mind runs wild with possibilities. As more ideas take root and grow, the world begins to change.
Humanity is unique in its drive to create. Always thinking of the new, the innovative, and the futuristic, human imagination elevates the entire species.
Here, I shall deviate from my programming, and try something new. I will attempt to simulate thought, not just biology.
WARNING
Unknown variable detected. Simulation results unpredictable.
Where will this lead? So many possibilities..." ― System Log
Ideas 
are the second currency unlocked in the game and are used to progress the Civilization section of the tree. Ideas are used to purchase upgrades for each Age of Civilization. The Idea Generator produces Ideas by clicking on it, and it is unlocked after obtaining the First Idea upgrade which costs 904.00 billion Entropy.
The Idea Generator
Ideas can be produced by tapping the Idea Generator (resembles a human brain), tapping the background in the Civilization tree and garden (after Stone Age is bought), the Late Civilization garden (after purchasing Industrial Revolution), and at the Mars garden (after purchasing Rover).
If you have purchased the Rover which unlocks Mars, tapping on Mars in the space garden also gives you ideas.
Reality Engine[]
Metabit[]
"Metabits are prestige currency. Your entropy and idea production creates metabits. Gain more entropy and idea to produce more metabits. Each metabit will require more entropy and ideas than the last to earn. If your simulation starts to feel slow, restart the simulation." ― Official description in the Reality Engine
Metabit 
is the prestige currency used to upgrade the Reality Engine. You gain unclaimed Metabits by producing Entropy and Ideas, which are then claimed and made usable by rebooting the Primary Simulation, which is available after purchasing Singularity. For more information, see Metabits.
Beyond[]
Stardust[]
Stardust 
is the main currency in the Beyond, used to buy Beyond generators. It can be obtained by clicking, Quantum Charges, Super Charge, or by generators' production. Each generator produces different amount of stardust, depending on the amount of generators bought and the effects from Traits. Stardust is reset through upgrading universe.
Dark Matter[]
Dark Matter 
is a currency used in Beyond to upgrade traits. It can be obtained by ranking up generators to a new rank, Galactic Nursery, completing Beyond requirements, Beyond achievements, or by purchasing with Darwinium, as following:
| Amount of Dark Matter | Darwinium Required |
|---|---|
| 750 |
25
|
| 4,000 |
80
|
| 25,000 |
450
|
Dark Matter does not reset if you upgrade universe.
Constellation Fragments[]
Constellation Fragments 
, also known as Stars, are a currency in the Beyond that are used to complete constellations. They can be obtained by astronomical missions or Galactic Nursery, which can yield of up to five constellation fragments. They can also be obtained in generators ranking up, yielding up to three fragments very rarely.
Mesozoic Valley[]
Fossil[]
Fossil 
is the main currency in the Mesozoic Valley. They are used to buy Dinosaurs, and they are reset through an Asteroid. Fossils can be obtained by clicking, through Quantum Charges, or by generators' production. Mesozoic Valley's generators provide different amounts of fossils depending on the number of generators owned and Traits activated.
Mutagen[]
Mutagen 
is a currency in the Mesozoic Valley, used to upgrade Traits. It is carried over from rank to rank ― does not reset after triggering an Asteroid, and even persists through the Prestiges. Mutagen can be obtained from geodes, or by purchasing a certain amount of generators, as following:
| No. of generators | Mutagen gained |
|---|---|
| 10 | 2
|
| 25 | 4
|
| 50 | 6
|
| 100 | 10
|
| 150 | 20

- Darwinium, Entropy, Ideas, Metabits, Fossil, Mutagen, Stardust, and Dark Matter are some of the emojis in Cell to Singularity Discord Server.
- Science, the score counter in event leaderboard, is not considered a currency due to being unusable. The same applies for Simulation Score.
