Exchange Provisions is a type of basic currency in Deadlink.
Gameplay wise, it's one's experience points (XP) and used to upgrade combat shells at the HUB. It's primarily earned by completing combat arenas, making it the more easily obtained type of currency in the game.

Exchange Provisions
Federal Currency
XP
While the US Dollar still exists on paper, it exists there alone. All federal agency budgets and salaries are paid out using internal cryptocurrency to combat corruption through use of non-fungible, monitored transactions.
Whilst internal corruption lowered, corporations quickly learned to game the system with exchange rates and hoarding of XP. Corps pressure and bribe federal employees with their immense stockpile. The CSA has freedom to use any XP acquired during missions towards their own goals, such as R&D.
