# FAQ

**What is BabySneklets?**\
BabySneklets is an innovative NFT project that combines collectible digital art, dynamic lore, and real-world mining rewards on the Cardano blockchain. Each NFT represents a unique character in the Miniverse and is integrated with our mining and staking ecosystem.

**How do I mint a BabySneklet NFT?**\
You can mint a BabySneklet through our official Minting Page. Simply connect your Cardano wallet, select your desired quantity, and follow the on-screen instructions. Pricing varies between the whitelist sale (69 ADA) and the public sale (77 ADA).

**What are the minting pricing details?**\
During the whitelist sale, BabySneklets are available for 69 ADA, and during the public sale, they are priced at 77 ADA. Special tier-based perks, such as free mint access for Tier 3 plushie owners, may also apply.

**What benefits do I receive by minting a BabySneklet?**\
Minting a BabySneklet not only gives you a unique NFT but also grants you access to our mining rewards system, staking bonuses, and exclusive in-game lore and events within the Miniverse.

**How does the mining reward system work?**\
Our mining rewards are integrated into the NFT ecosystem. Each NFT acts as a digital representation of mining hardware, and rewards are distributed monthly based on mining performance, with a portion allocated to stakers and compounding miners.

#### How are staking rewards calculated?

* **Staking rewards are divided as follows**:
  * 69% of the total reward pool goes to NFT holders (stakers)
  * 21% supports project growth and sustainability
  * 10% is allocated to the core team
* **The 69% holder allocation is split into**:
  * 75% equally shared by all staked BabySneklets
  * 22% distributed as **Region Bonuses**, depending on where your NFT is staked
  * 3% reserved for **Legendary 1:1 BabySneklets**
* **Time-based staking tiers determine how much of your share you earn**:
  * 0–1 week: 60% reward rate
  * 2–3 weeks: 80% reward rate
  * 4+ weeks: 100% reward rate
* **Unused rewards** from shorter staking durations are redirected into the **Project Growth Fund**
* All reward calculations and distributions can be tracked via the **Staking & Mining Dashboard**

***

#### Do I need to re-stake each month?

No — re-staking is **not** required.\
As long as your staking region and conditions remain unchanged, your **Time Bonus continues to accumulate automatically**. There’s no need to re-stake each month to maintain or increase your bonus.

***

#### What happens if I change my staking region?

If you move your BabySneklet to a different region or opt into a **Region Bonus Event**:

* Your **Time Bonus resets to 60%**
* Any bonus accumulated **above 60% is permanently burned**
* The **new Region Bonus is applied** based on your selected location

> **Note:** Region Bonuses are often tied to special events and may vary over time. Keep an eye out for active bonus events on our platform.

This system encourages long-term staking while allowing flexibility to pursue event-based opportunities when they arise.

**What is the difference between CIP-25 and CIP-68?**\
CIP-25 is a static metadata standard for NFTs, while CIP-68 enables dynamic, updatable metadata through a dual-token mechanism. BabySneklets employs both standards—using CIP-68 for updating NFT traits over time.

**How can I view my NFT's traits and rarity?**\
Detailed trait and rarity information is available via our Traits & Rarity API and dedicated Traits & Rarity page. These tools provide a breakdown of attributes (e.g., background, body, clothes) along with calculated rarity scores and ranks.
