Each animal has:

* Different egg price

* Different harvest date

👉 Please check the details of each animal carefully.

#### **Buying with ENG**

* **ENG** is the currency you need to buy Chicken Egg.
* When you pay with **ENG**, the **ENG** tokens you use will be **burned** (permanently removed from circulation). This reduces the total supply of **ENG**, adding value to the remaining tokens.

#### **Buying with ETH**

* If you want to use **ETH** to buy **EGG**, your **ETH** will be **automatically converted** to **ENG.**&#x20;
* Once the conversion is done, the **ENG** tokens are used to buy **EGG**, and the **ENG** tokens will be **burned**.

Token contract: `0x52b492a33E447Cdb854c7FC19F1e57E8BfA1777D`

#### Buying with BasedPEPE

* Users can buy PEPE **Egg** with **BasedPEPE token**.
* The system will calculate how much BasedPEPE is equal to **2000 ENG**, so users know exactly how many BasedPEPE are needed.
* After buying, the BasedPEPE used will be converted into ENG.
* These ENG tokens will then be **burned** to help maintain the value of ENG.&#x20;

## EGG NFT

After making the purchase, you’ll receive an **NFT Egg**. This NFT is not just a static image. It can **hatch into an animal** and follows the **ERC-6551** standard, adding unique value.&#x20;

## Why Burn Tokens?

Burning tokens is a way to manage supply and demand. By removing tokens from circulation, it makes the remaining tokens scarcer, potentially increasing their value over time.&#x20;

The tokens you use to buy **EGG** are burned, so the total supply of these tokens decreases, which is good for the ecosystem.
