Mice grow catnips and take utmost care to earn the freshest $CATNIPS.
Minting: Mice are the most common character. They have a 90% chance of being minted. Staking: Mice earn 12,000 $CATNIPS/day from cultivating the catnips.
Claiming: The mice have an attractive deal with the cats to keep away from mice farming the catnips. In exchange, the cats collect 20% of the mice’s claimed $CATNIPS.
Unstaking: Leaving the farm is dangerous. Mice can leave the farm if they have accumulated 2 days of $CATNIPS earnings necessary, to keep them hearty, plus an exchange of X $Meat per Y $CATNIPS. Note: there is a 50% chance of all accumulated $CATNIPS being stolen by cats.
Cats collect $CATNIPS from mice and steal mints from other players. Cats receive an Alpha value ranking from 5–8 upon mint — the higher the alpha value, the higher the portion of $CATNIPS that the Cat earns from taxes and the higher chance of stealing newly mints.
For example Cat A has an Alpha of 8 and Cat B has an Alpha of 6, and they are staked.
Minting: Cats are rare. They have a 10% chance of being minted.
Staking: Cats earn 20% of $CATNIPS produced by staked Mice. They have a chance to poach newly minted Mice or Cats.
Claiming & Unstaking: Collect 100% of earned $CATNIPS.

Protocol-level risk is ripe for exploration in NFTs. Many projects are implementing stake-to-earn, but haven’t cracked the code on users making choices in the face of risk.
In the case of Catnips Game’s Cat-rule-Mouse world, your NFT can steal ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens for you. This is entirely new.
Everything in Catnips Game happens on-chain: the decisioning, the results, the generation of the NFTs themselves. It’s split between 4 different smart contracts so that anyone can read through and get a sense of how it all talks to each other.
There are a number of techniques in these contracts that make this all possible while maintaining accuracy, keeping gas costs down, and not exceeding the EVM contract size limit.
Not the first, and certainly not the last. But as long as BSC is running, your Mice and Cats will survive. Always available and always yours. Your traits and all the pixel art reside in the contracts themselves, nowhere else.
With Catnips Game, everyone can play with their own level of risk… Pay the tax? Stay liquid on the market? Take a chance to keep all your $CATNIPS, but have a chance to lose it all? The choices and this game have to be engaging.
Cats preying on Mice feels almost like a parallel to the NFT community itself: A select few with alpha among all of us, and many others following the clowder.
