"While Blizzard has not yet released official details about how Hearthsteel will work or what it will be used for, it's likely it will be similar to that of Trader's Tender, another premium currency used for the game's Trading Post vendor. Trader's Tender is primarily earned in-game by completing monthly challenges. The currency can't be bought on its own in the in-game shop but is included as part of other shop cosmetic bundles."
"Hearthsteel might be used similarly in that it's something players may be able to earn by playing but also acquire by buying certain cosmetics on the store. Blizzard has already confirmed it will be selling housing related cosmetics via the shop, so Hearthsteel could potentially be included as part of those bundles for use at a specific housing-item vendor, similar to the Trading Post."
A datamine of the Midnight alpha build revealed a new currency named Hearthsteel with icons indicating increasing bundle amounts and a description linking it to a housing market bundle. The currency appears analogous to Trader's Tender, which is earned through monthly challenges, packaged with cosmetic shop bundles, and granted via preorders rather than sold standalone. Hearthsteel may be earnable through gameplay and obtainable via store cosmetic bundles for use at a housing-item vendor. Blizzard has confirmed housing-related cosmetics will be sold in the shop. Patch 11.2.7 is expected in December and Midnight is expected in February, which could clarify details.
