# Evolutions

A page explaining evolution mechanics, and why you will want to evolve.

Do you remember the thrill of finding your first shiny Pokémon card or evolving your Pokémon to their final forms?

The flex, the rarity, the power?

We're recreating that magic — but on-chain, and permanent.

### :hotsprings:How it Works:

**Rank 1:** \~444 (or less per Dæmon)\
Your starter Dæmon Based on your chain usage, protocol activity, and NFTs. (Think: Web3 Charmander.) These are the character options you will have when you first mint.\
**Rank 2:** \~188 (or less per Dæmon)\
**Rank 3:** \~22 (or less per Dæmon)

| RANK 1 COLLECTION SIZE | RANK 2 COLLECTION SIZE | RANK 3 COLLECTION SIZE |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- |
| 444                    | 188                    | 22                     |
| 333                    | 111                    | 11                     |
| 111                    | 44                     | 6                      |
| 33                     | 11                     | 6                      |

:scroll: **Final Rank 1 Supply Caps**  

**444:** Amberclaw | Tokenize Reaver | Immutable Stone Golem | Whispurr Tail | Bruce\
**333:** Azure Chimera | Base Sentinel | Ethereal Stag | Furicane | Hedera Threadweaver | Molandakmon | Archer\
**111:** Abstract Owl | Binance Whale | Emerald Dragon (Persona Shenron) | Neo Raptor | Avalanche Snow Bear | Poly Hydra | Pudgy | Solana Phoenix | SuperPhant \
**33:** Encrypted Kitsune | Horizon Mecha (Soneium Cybernetic) | Linea Lynx | Neural Nexus | Optimistic Sparrow | Sonic Wraith\
**21:** Whale Council | Pyrocore

Once evolution caps are reached, there will be no more — unless bought via secondary or creative $DMN related unlocks in the future (TBA).

## :dna:Evolution Requirements:

• Leveling (levels 10 and 20 for Ranks 2 and 3)\
• Achievement completions (certain achievements are required to make you eligible)\
• \~$10 in native currency for the chain you are on

No pay-to-win. PvP will be fair for all - no matter your evolution rank. **Evolving is optional — but comes with EPIC perks.** :point\_down:

## :trophy:Why Evolve?

• Scarcity, aesthetics and prestige (a new Dæmon character skin, animation updates, and increased rarity)\
• Dæmon Soul Points for evolving (massive in-game achievement points boosts! Learn more [here](https://points.daemons.app/ingamebadges))\
• PvP tournament earnings bonuses \
• The ability to withdraw $DMN earned from the Gacha (must have a Rank 2 character). Rank 3s allow you to boost Gacha $DMN earnings by 25%!\
• And potentially… Rank 3 prismatic physical cards :eyes:
