FAQ

Everything about Season 0 — the ALPUN Founders Farm. More detail lives in the tokenomics overview.

Do I need to buy anything to play?

No. The farm is free to play, and you can try the full demo without even signing in. Holding ALPUN adds daily Alpaca Energy and is required for NFT tier eligibility.

Do I have to stake or lock my tokens?

Not in Season 0. Rewards are gated by ALPUN held in your own linked wallet — the tokens never leave it. Staking with lock multipliers arrives in Season 1, and wallets that hold through the end of Season 0 receive the Founders Boost.

How is my balance checked?

After you link your wallet, the backend verifies its ALPUN balance continuously at randomized intervals. If the balance dips below a tier's threshold, that tier's progress pauses and its 7-day pre-claim clock restarts when the balance recovers.

What is Productive Farm Time?

Time counts only while you actively manage the farm — the game must be open and you must have interacted within the last 5 minutes. At most 4 hours per rolling 24 hours are credited, so the rarest rewards cannot be botted overnight.

How do the NFT tiers work?

Four tiers, 3,000 NFTs total, each needing productive time AND a minimum ALPUN balance held continuously: Pioneer Farm Sign (2,000 supply · 2h · hold 5,000 ALPUN), Silver-Fleece Alpaca (750 supply · 8h · hold 25,000 ALPUN), Golden Alpaca Cart (200 supply · 18h · hold 100,000 ALPUN), Genesis Crown Alpaca (50 supply · 30h · hold 500,000 ALPUN).

What are waves?

NFTs release in weekly waves per tier (first come, first served by when you qualified; unclaimed slots roll forward). Waves pace distribution — the game itself is fully open from day one. All waves close on October 31, 2026.

What does claiming cost?

Each tier has a claim fee in ALPUN (250 / 1,000 / 5,000 / 25,000 by rarity). Half of every fee is burned, half funds the treasury. You also pay normal Solana network fees.

Can I earn ALPUN by playing?

No — and that's deliberate. Season 0 rewards are NFTs only. The game never emits tokens, so playing can only remove ALPUN from circulation (claim-fee burns), never dump it.

Are rewards guaranteed?

No. Rewards are variable, first come first served, and depend on your own activity and holdings. Nothing on this site is financial advice, and the ALPUN token can lose value like any crypto asset.

Which wallets are supported?

Phantom, Solflare, Backpack and any wallet compatible with the Solana wallet adapter. Wallet linking uses a signed message — it never initiates a transaction.
