vEGG Farming - introduction

We are excited to introduce a lucrative vEGG farming! It's a meaningful opportunity to increase in-game capabilities for active players!

vEGG use cases

vEGG is a synthetic or virtual shape of EGG tokens. It's not a tradeable asset, but it can be used to cover the most of in-game expenses, such as: 

• ducklings hatching, ducks breeding, purchase of the perches or beaches for farming, paying for a rope, for ducks recharging, mantles level up, paying for ducks rebirths, and more is coming!

What do you need to send a duck to vEGG Farming

To start vEGG farming, you need a duck with more than 70% rarity and buy a special perch for 2 EGG. Just go to your idle duck and select "Send to vEGG Farming"

• You can claim rewards as soon as someone spends vEGGs

💡 Important notes:

• Once you send your duck to farming, it can not be unlocked anymore;
• If its rarity drops, it will not be updated until you claim the rewards;
• Perches can only be bought with EGG tokens, but they will be refunded in case of EGG farming failure, as a concept. So, early birds are risk-free

How vEGG farming works

At the launch of vEGG farming, farmers will share 25% of all vEGG spent within Waves Ducks, with a potential increase of its share up to 60%. The farming power of your duck is calculated based on the number of unique genes it has, its rarity, and the date you sent the duck to farming. The farming ratio of your ducks is gradually decreasing over time

The mechanics under the hood incentivize you to send new ducks to farming, as recently sent ducks have a higher farming power ratio. For example, if you send your duck to farming today and send the equal duck after 90 days, your deprecation factor will be many times less + higher farming power

You may wonder why send ducks into farming now. The early bird gets the worm - the initial farming pool is empty, making it more lucrative for early adopters.

How is the farming power and its deprecation formula calculated

For example, you want to send a duck with 2 genes to the farming:

POW = (1.5* 1.5 ... [for each unique gene] * 100)

Multiplier = (block when you sent the duck - current block height) * 100 / number of passed blocks after the sending

Final Power = POW * Multiplier / 100

And the final farming power will be = Final Power * rarity / 100 = current FP
