# How It Works

Eggle simplifies the gaming experience while offering substantial rewards, creating a seamless journey for participants. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how the process unfolds.

## **Sale Day: Acquiring an Egg**

At the beginning of each monthly cycle, Eggle opens the door for participants to acquire digital eggs—the starting point of their adventure.&#x20;

To join, users first obtain ENG tokens on Base’s decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Each egg type comes with its own entry requirement:

* Chicken: 1,000 ENG
* PEPE: 2,000 ENG

(Additional animals will be introduced in the future, each with its own cost in ENG.)

## **Initiating the Purchase**

Players complete the purchase by sending the required amount of ENG to Eggle’s Payment Smart Contract. On simple term: Buy the Egg on Eggle Website.&#x20;

This transaction not only secures their egg but also marks their official entry into the Eggle ecosystem.

## **Receiving the Egg**

The smart contract processes the payment and immediately delivers an NFT egg to the participant’s wallet. Within hours, the egg hatches into a digital animal, beginning its unique growth cycle.

## **Nurturing and Interaction**

Keeping the animal alive requires a simple daily ritual: feeding it with 10 ENG, either by sending tokens directly to its Token Bound Account (TBA) or by pressing the “Feed” button on Eggle’s platform.&#x20;

Through this process, participants actively engage with the ecosystem and witness the development of their animal in real time.

## **5. The Harvest Day**

The cycle reaches its climax on harvest day—always aligned with the same calendar date as when the egg was purchased.&#x20;

On this day, players can send their fully grown animal to Eggle’s Treasury Smart Contract, where it is transformed into a harvestable asset.

## **6. Reaping the Rewards**

In recognition of their consistent care, players receive rewards based on the type of animal they nurtured:

* Chicken: 2,000 ENG
* PEPE: 4,000 ENG

(Future animals will also bring unique reward levels, expanding the opportunities for participants.)
