Taydenite is the most precious material in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is also the hardest material known,[1][2] and used as currency commonly throughout the galaxy in the form of rectangular coins called "Taydens".
History
Taydenite first appeared in the episode Kevin's Big Score. Vulkanus decides to get back at Kevin for a previous betrayal by forcing Kevin to recursively absorb a small piece of Taydenite which his minions continued to mine off of him, giving Vulkanus an endless supply. However, he is foiled by Ben as Big Chill and Gwen, who arrive to save Kevin.
In Con of Rath, the group needed some Taydenite to power their ship. They encountered Vulkanus and his minions, fighting them for the Taydenite. Ben (as Rath) unleashed a shockwave that ruined most of Vulkanus' supply.
In Too Hot to Handle, Kevin was in possession of a large Taydenite crystal, which he used to accidentally free P'andor from his containment suit.
In OTTO Motives, Gar Red Wind rewarded Kevin for helping to save his collection of rare and valuable cars by giving him a car made of Taydenite.
Taydenite was also seen multiple times throughout Omniverse being used by Ben, Rook, Mr. Baumann and others as currency (in the form of "Taydens").
