# Mechanics

BabySneklets integrates blockchain technology with interactive elements to provide a structured experience within the Miniverse. Users mint unique NFTs, select mining zones, collect Stardust, and receive rewards, all supported by an organized lore and system framework.

### Minting & Joining

**Minting Process**\
Users can mint a BabySneklet NFT on our platform. Pricing is 69 ADA during the whitelist sale and 77 ADA during the public sale, with no maximum per wallet.

***

> **Staking Rewards Overview**\
> Staking rewards are distributed across three core categories:

* **69%** to holders
* **21%** to project growth
* **10%** to the team

> **Holder Reward Breakdown**\
> The 69% allocated to holders is further divided:

* **75%** equally shared by all staked NFTs
* **22%** distributed via **Region Bonuses**
* **3%** allocated to **1:1 Legendary NFTs**

***

> **Time-Based Reward Tiers**\
> The longer you stake, the greater your base rewards:

| Duration  | Rewards Earned |
| --------- | -------------- |
| 4+ weeks  | 100%           |
| 2–3 weeks | 80%            |
| 0–1 week  | 60%            |

The **difference** between full and early-staking rewards is **recycled into the Project Growth Fund** to support ecosystem sustainability.

>
> #### 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.

### Mining Stardust

**Getting Started:**\
After minting an NFT, users can begin mining Stardust—the in-game currency used for upgrades and rewards.

**Mining Mechanics:**

**Select Your Zone:**\
Choose from four elemental mining zones:

* **Deep Digs (Earth)**
* **Lava Lands (Fire)**
* **Sky Cliffs (Wind)**
* **Frozen Fields (Ice)**

**Zone Bonuses:**\
Each zone offers specific bonuses that affect Stardust collection rates.

### Elemental Zones & Lore

**The Elemental Battle:**\
Historically, the elements in the Miniverse coexisted until the discovery of Stardust led to competition and conflict.

**Zone Integration:**\
Each zone is designed to reflect its elemental characteristics, linking system mechanics with the thematic lore of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Ice.

### Stardust & Rewards

**Collecting Stardust:**\
Mining activity accumulates Stardust, the primary resource used for in-game upgrades.

**Reward System:**\
Rewards are distributed monthly, with portions allocated to stakers and reinvested into the ecosystem to encourage continued participation.

**Staking Bonuses:**\
Extended staking and ongoing engagement yield additional bonus rewards.

### Interactive Dashboard & System Flow

**Dashboard Features:**\
The interactive dashboard provides real-time tracking of Stardust balances, zone-specific bonuses, and staking progress.

**User Experience:**\
Clear navigation connects minting, mining, rewards, and lore, ensuring ease of access to all system features.

**System Evolution:**\
Mechanics are periodically updated based on community feedback and technological developments.
