The details.
Everything that matters about Finagotchi: the pet, the weekly save, the clock, death & resurrection, your position, the spec sheet, the business model, the app, and the mint.
The pet
01Every Finagotchi is a Solana NFT. Your genesis egg is minted for a fixed price, then evolves through four stages (Egg, Coinling, Hodler, Whale) based on your verified onchain activity. Pets are soulbound until Whale: the habit is earned, never bought.
The weekly save
02The heartbeat of your pet is real onchain activity: weekly saves, DCA, swaps, and stakes all count. Saves route into real DeFi yield via Jupiter and Kamino, and the transactions themselves are the proof: no check-ins, no self-reporting, no streaks to fake.
Care Clock
03Each pet runs on a 7-day Care Clock. Verified onchain activity refills it. The countdown is always visible in the app, so you always know exactly where you stand. Let it hit zero and your pet dies.
Death & resurrection
04If the Care Clock hits zero, your pet dies. There are exactly two ways back: a resurrection pass, or inviting 2 friends who adopt. Once those close, dead means dead: no rollback, no transfer of streaks or traits. The only way back is a new egg, from scratch.
Your position
05Your streak is also an asset position. Every save keeps earning yield while it sits, your deposit history is the scoreboard, and custody stays yours. Withdraw anytime. Missing the week is what costs you, twice: a dead pet and a position that never grew.
Squad Stake (v2)
06After launch: 3 to 5 friends co-stake into a shared vault and raise one pet together. Miss a week and the whole squad takes the hit. Pooling money with rules the chain enforces: no group chat can do this, no Web2 app can either. It ships once v1 proves the loop.
Spec sheet

Mechanics FAQ
12What happens when my pet dies?
You can resurrect it with a resurrection pass, or by inviting 2 friends who adopt a pet. Once those options close, dead means dead: no rollback, no transfer of streaks or traits. You can mint a new egg at full price, but you start from scratch.
Where does the yield come from?
Your weekly USDC save routes into established Solana DeFi via Jupiter and Kamino. Rates vary with the market, and your position is always visible in the app. The yield is a bonus on top of the real reward: a savings habit that finally sticks.
Can I withdraw my savings?
Yes. Custody stays yours and you can withdraw anytime. Withdrawing doesn't kill your pet; missing your weekly save does. The clock only cares whether the deposit landed.
Why are pets soulbound?
NFT pet projects that came before died the same way: the moment a pet becomes a flip, speculation replaces the habit and the loop dies. Pets stay non-transferable until Whale stage, so evolution is proof of saves, not proof of purchase.
How does Finagotchi make money?
Three ways, all aligned with the loop: on-chain games, collectibles, and sponsored quests in the Risk Room; resurrection passes when a dead pet is worth bringing back; and hardware purchases when the desk device drops after v1. There is no token, and we never take a cut of your yield. Your savings stay yours.
