THE POND
HAS RULES.
HAS RULES.
All enforced on-chain. No team can change odds, override a mint, or shut it down.
⚔ BOSS - EVERY 1,000 CASTS
5 wallets sacrifice fish to weaken it. Then anyone calls catchBoss() to claim a free Legendary. Resets automatically.
🔥 EVOLVE SET - BURN 5, RECEIVE 1 LEGENDARY
Own 5 fish of the same rarity? Burn them all and receive 1 Legendary with the Mutated trait. Supply decreases permanently.
🎣
CAST & MINT
First fish per wallet free. 0.0001 ETH each after. Cast 1-10 per txn. Rarity rolled on-chain with block.prevrandao + wallet + nonce.
🏆
GUARANTEED LEGENDARY
Every 500 casts, the contract forces a Legendary. Tracked by _castsSinceLastLegendary. Hardcoded. No luck needed.
👯
TWIN CATCH
0.5% chance. Contract mints 2 identical fish and sends both to your wallet. Same price, double fish.
☠️
POISON & GHOST
1% Poison at any time. Ghost trait unlocks after 5,000 minted - spectral fish emerge at 1% odds.
⭐
MUTATION EVENTS
Every 100 casts, a random existing fish mutates permanently on-chain. Your fish could change mid-wallet.
🌀
CURSED POND
3 times ever: rarity fully inverts. Legendary becomes common odds. Common becomes legendary odds. Permanent after 3rd use.
📜
CATCH HISTORY
Every fish stores the last 3 wallets that held it - updated automatically on every transfer. Full on-chain provenance.
🌊
SEASONS
Owner can advance seasons via nextSeason(). Each season is a new chapter. Season data stored on-chain.
😤
MOOD SYSTEM
Each fish has a mood: Playful, Calm, Fierce, Enraged. Stored on-chain. Owner can update via setMood().
