# Phase 3 - Harvesting

In Phase 3 of Eggle, appropriately named "Harvesting," users are rewarded for their active participation and diligent care of their digital companions. This phase represents the culmination of the full month journey.

## **Reaching Full Maturity**

As the last day of the live cycle arrives, the culmination of the journey is met with a significant transformation. 

The animal has now reached full maturity and takes on the appearance of a delicacy on the next day.

This marks the moment when users can begin reaping the rewards of their nurturing efforts.

## **Harvesting the** Roast Meat

To initiate the rewarding process, users have the option to send their matured, roast meat to the **address of the Treasury contract**.&#x20;

This may sound complicated, but it's just a more technical way of saying that users simply need to select the Roast meat and press the "<mark style="color:yellow;">**Harvest**</mark>" button.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:yellow;">**Treasury**</mark>**&#x20;Smart Contract Address**: [0x8f1aa0fdbd047d7d8a58514eecef6af4bb84f7eb](https://basescan.org/address/0x8f1aa0fdbd047d7d8a58514eecef6af4bb84f7eb#readProxyContract)
{% endhint %}

This step signifies the user's readiness to receive their well-deserved rewards for their commitment and care.

## **Reward Release**

The Treasury contract efficiently processes incoming roast meat and, in return, releases a generous reward of 2,000 Energy tokens back to the user's wallet.&#x20;

This reward process is automated and seamless, ensuring that users receive their rewards promptly.

## **Cost Management**&#x20;

From a cost management perspective, it is essential to consider the overall expenses of raising an animal in Eggle. These costs include: **Egg Cost** and **Food Cost**

### Chicken

1. **Egg Cost**: The initial investment of <mark style="background-color:blue;">**1000 ENG**</mark> to acquire the egg.
2. **Food Cost**: For a month, users must invest an additional <mark style="background-color:blue;">**10 Energy tokens per day**</mark> to feed their chick. For example, in a 30-day month, this amounts to 10 x 30 = 300 Energy tokens.

### PEPE

1. **Egg Cost**: The initial investment of <mark style="background-color:blue;">**2000 ENG**</mark> to acquire the egg.
2. **Food Cost**: For a month, users must invest an additional <mark style="background-color:blue;">**10 Energy tokens per day**</mark> to feed their PEPE. For example, in a 30-day month, this amounts to 10 x 30 = 300 Energy tokens.

> When burning the Roast PEPE, **users are rewarded with&#x20;**<mark style="color:green;">**4,000 Energy tokens**</mark>.&#x20;

This represents a significant return on investment, as users not only recoup their initial costs but also gain a substantial profit.&#x20;

## **Smoked Meat**

**Harvesting Roast Meat** can be a quick way for you to take profits instantly—either to cash out or to rotate your capital and get ready for the next cycle.

But there’s another option for earning: **Staking — or “Smoking the Meat.”**\
Players can stake their Roast Meat to turn it into Smoked Meat and earn daily rewards.

This is more of a long-term play, giving players steady, passive income. Over time, it ensures a consistent daily cash flow.

## **Future Opportunities**

After receiving their rewards, users have several options:

* They can exchange Energy tokens for other assets through decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on the Base blockchain.
* Users can stake roast meat to earn ENG tokens daily.
* ENG tokens can be swapped back to ETH and used to purchase eggs for the next cycle.

There are many ways users can utilize the effort they put into raising their animals.
