Snacks & growth

Snacks are what make a creature grow. They come from transaction count and fees you paid, with a streak multiplier if you stay active across epochs.

Nothing is classified. A swap, a mint, a stake-pool registration - a transaction is a transaction.

Breadth vs depth

Snacks are linear and uncapped, so a wallet with years of heavy history earns proportionally more. That is the reward for having actually been here.

What snacks cannot buy is depth. A creature gains at most two levels in any one epoch, however full the bowl is. Unused allowance does not roll over, unused snacks to not expire.

Level 5 → 99 is therefore 94 levels / 47 epochs of perfect attendance - about eight months on mainnet - whatever you spend.

Stages

Genesis creatures and hatched eggs enter at level 5. Max is 99.

Stage	Levels	What unlocks
Hatchling	5–14	Small body. No horns, tail, or wings.
Fledgling	15–29	Larger form; tail and simple wings can appear.
Adept	30–49	Accessories. More head and horn shapes.
Prime	50–74	Largest bodies, antlers. Can lay an egg.
Elder	75–99	Full scale. Gilded level plate at 99.

Evolution commits on-chain at 5 / 15 / 30 / 50 / 75. The genome is rolled against the parts unlocked at each stage, so a creature’s whole life path is fixed at birth and revealed as it grows.

Hatchlings of different owners often look similar. Colour, background, and a few early traits are most of what you see. The creature diverges as stages unlock.

Temperament

Each creature has a temperament and a quirk derived from its seed. Flavour, not stats - they don’t change how it grows.

What wallets show

The image URL in the datum never changes. The content does, as the creature levels.
