wen milk? wen eggs? JANUARY 2022.For starters – all cats are cool, remember? That said, Cool Cats are worth between 3 and 10 points. These points are determined by which items your Cool Cat is made up of. Common items like a beanie or a hat are worth fewer points than more rare items like a computer head or an ape outfit.

As many NFT projects aim to deliver on their goals, some are realizing that major roadmap milestones can be difficult to achieve. Cool Cats NFT is considered to be a blue-chip by many in the space, but even they faced issues in the advancement of their roadmap when releasing Cooltopia.

Releasing a game on the Polygon network has proven to be challenging, but after the initial delay, the earliest version of Cooltopia is now up and running smoothly, allowing Pets and Cats to earn $MILK along the way.

More About Cool Cats’ Companion NFTs: Cool PetsAccording to the website, if you look after your pet, they will grow up and inherit a specific element. That element could be Grass, Fire, Water, Air or maybe even something else. So you can think of the Cool Pets as stage one of a multi-stage ecosystem.Cool Cats and Cool Pets will serve as the solid foundation of future utility, gamification and stories. The team is already working on new ideas such as questing expansion, crafting housing and battling. In all of these, Cool Pats and Cool Pets take the centerstage. For example, future systems will involve some level of crafting. So you can use the items on your pets to craft new ones.Cool Cats remains to be one of the darlings of the NFT Space. It has attracted several high-profile buyers – including Steve Aoki, who purchased a Bob Ross TV head cat, and Mike Tyson.

The president of TIME Magazine, Keith Grossman, has been a long-time supporter of Cool Cats.As of press time, the floor price has climbed up to 11.5 ETH or $35,000. This means that Cool Cats have appreciated in value over time and it is one of the blue-chip NFT Collectibles in the space.

TL;DR — Cooltopia

After a rocky launch, the Cool Cats team has made incredible progress on Cooltopia, home of the Cool Pets. While Cool Cats NFT will remain the highest-tier collection, Cool Pets offers a lower-cost entry point to an exciting ecosystem.

Evolving Pets and taking them on quests is fun for all ages, and can hopefully bring new people into the NFT space.

This fantastic Dune dashboard by chuxin shows more real-time data about Cooltopia, Cool Pets, and $MILK if you want to dive in deeper. You can research and purchase Cool Cats and Cool Pets on MomentRanks.

What Is Cool Pets?

Cool Pets is an expansion of Cooltopia, the Cool Cats NFT universe. As an integral part of the upcoming P&E gaming system, Cool Pets will embark on quests to earn $MILK (Polygon), Cool Cats in-game currency. Breeding and battling have also been alluded to but not officially confirmed by the team.

Each Cool Pet will start as an egg and hatch into a water, air, fire, or grass element creature. Interaction is required to hatch each egg, and the items that are chosen to interact with each Cool Pet will help determine their element trait.

When the egg hatches, the Cool Pets’ traits will be randomly determined from more than 44 million different possibilities.

Quick Summary of What We Know So Far

With the launch of Cool Pets, Cool Cats NFT is adding two utility tokens to its ecosystem: $MILK (Ethereum) and $MILK (Polygon).

$MILK (Polygon)

$MILK (Polygon) is a Polygon-based utility token that will serve as the game’s primary currency. It can be earned through quests or holding Cool Cats NFTs. $MILK (Polygon) is then used to purchase in-game items through OpenSea or the Cool Cats marketplace. Chests with randomized items will also be available for purchase. Items are required to interact with each Cool Pets egg. The specific items that are used to interact with each egg will determine certain trait outcomes when the egg hatches.

$MILK (Ethereum)

Cool Pets NFTs will all be ERC 721 tokens because they are all unique. In-game items will be ERC1155 tokens because they have a more fungible nature.

Earning $MILK

Cool Cats NFT holders will passively earn $MILK simply for not selling their cats. The amount of $MILK that holders will earn will be determined by the tier of their NFTs. In order of earning potential, the tiers are: Cool 1, Cool 2, Wild 1, Wild 2, Classy 1, Classy 2, Exotic 1, Exotic 2.

Here is the earning chart for each Cool Cat NFT (values are subject to change):

*$MILK is expected to be two times as fast for as long as the game was delayed. Then it’ll return to normal.

Finally, non-holders can earn $MILK by renting out Cool Pets or purchasing Cool Pets and going on quests with them.

The Four Cool Pets Elements

Cool Pets start as eggs, and when they hatch, they’ll have one of four element traits: water, air, fire, or grass. The items that interact with the egg NFTs will help determine the element upon hatching. For example, if you «use» a red hot chili pepper on an egg, it might be more likely to become a fire Cool Pet.

Below is what is currently known about the four elements.

Water

The water Cool Pets are related to Tepnu and the Kritten, a half-cat, half-octopus sea creature. There are little known specific details about water Cool Pets at this time.

The CATaclysm: Water Disaster (Origin Story)

Welcome to Cooltopia, a land of hope and prosperity. Near the center of this land lies Sapphire Town, home of Blue Cat and his friends. Today was like any other, the townsfolk were gathering materials for the weekend market and Blue Cat was about to head out on an adventure, I wonder what he’ll find!

Furious waves lapped against the sides of the ship, drenching Tepnu in a freezing spray of salty rain. It stung his eyes and half blinded him as he fought with the rigging. It was his fifth consecutive day at sea and without even a glimpse of land, let alone the treasure he desperately sought. The seas were increasingly unforgiving, the days grew shorter, and the nights felt never ending.

Tepnu hunkered down, his back braced against the railings on the quarter deck and checked his map once more. He squinted at the image before him, but the endeavour was wasted. He had to admit, he was utterly and hopelessly lost.

Resigning himself to his fate, Tepnu decided to ride out the remainder of the wretched night inside his cabin. No stronger to sleeping through rocky seas, he closed his eyes and drifted into a peaceful slumber. Sadly, in what seemed like moments, his sleep was interrupted by what can only be described as a deep bubbling purr emanating from below the ship. The wood of the boughs around his cabin began to creak and the ship felt strangely suspended, no longer swaying with the movements of the sea.

Tentatively, Tepnu emerged from his cabin and stared at the steps ascending to the deck. He knew hiding wasn’t an option, he must face whatever had captured his vessel before it was too late!

As he reached the top of the staircase he froze, huge furry tentacles slithered around him, covering the deck in a shimmering blue ichor. The head of the beast loomed menacingly over the bow seemingly intent on destroying his wooden foe which had haplessly floated into its territory.

Tepnu, an experienced seafarer, knew instantly he was in the grasp of the legendary sea creature, The Kritten! Half cat, half octopus, the epic beast had long been inhabiting the nightmares of every seaman in Catopia and now it was his reality.

Racking his brain for ideas, he glanced around the deck for assistance, he momentarily contemplated jumping ship, but it would be futile as he was leagues from any land. Tepnu needed a way to scare the beast, spying the heavy rope that held the anchor, he fought his way towards it, dodging thrashing tentacles as he went. Leaping over and sliding beneath them as they skimmed the top of his head.

He slid across the damp deck and as he reached the anchor, frantically unwound the heavy rope. The anchor fell down the side of the ship and became entangled in the Kritten’s tentacles. The ship rocked as the Kritten jumped in alarm and let out a thunderous hissing sound that shook the very air around him. The ship shook so violently, he hugged his arms around the railings of the deck. Tentacles slithered around him as they shrunk back into the depths. Still hugging the side of the ship, Tepnu let out a deep sigh as he glanced around at the damage nearby.

Land loomed into view on the horizon, a small, unknown island with a mountain sprouting from the center. A strange feeling of slight relief crept over Tepnu, land ahoy at last! However, he was approaching at speed, ship shattering speed! As the Kritten swung around the island in its fury, the heavy rope on the anchor snapped, throwing the ship onto the island and straight into the base of the mountain. The last thing Tepnu remembered was the sound of an immense shattering of wood and rock, before he closed his eyes and braced himself.

Tepnu’s eyes flickered open, squinting against the harsh sunlight flooding in. He pushed himself to his knees and brushed sharp sand from his eyes. It took a few seconds to gain his bearings and recall what happened, he had been thrown from his ship onto the beach. His ship was melded with the side of the mountain, a great crack had formed in the stone at the point of impact. Amazingly, a beautiful waterfall flowed from the fissure all the way down to the beach where it joined the ocean.

Air

The air Cool Pets are related to Ardi, a lizard who lives in the Clumping Desert, and Jo, a bird who lives in Sapphire Town. There are little known specific details about air Cool Pets at this time.

The CATaclysm: The Wind Disaster (Origin Story)

The Clumping Desert is a vast and barren space occupying most Eastern Cooltopia. Far out in this largely deserted landscape there lived a Lizard called Ardi.

Everyone loved Jo, it wasn’t just her beautiful plumage or her sparkling eyes that drew people in though. Jo was a nurturing soul, a feather to cry on, always ready to lend a wing to those in need. It was because of this giving nature, Jo found herself volunteering for a quest, an important task for the people of Sapphire Town.

The first few miles of flight were pleasant, Jo hovered on the soft currents of wind and admired the desert views. Large sweeping dunes undulated beneath her like a rolling sea. However, as she flew further, she sensed the winds were picking up, her feathers started to ruffle in all directions and she swayed a little, struggling to stay on course. She soon found herself fighting against the strong force of the wind that quickly tired her.

She glanced about for a safe space to rest and chanced upon a small sand dwelling covered in strange windmills jutting out between the sandbanks.

Ardi wasn’t sure what he was expecting as he opened the door, but a ruffled mass of orange feathers, wasn’t it. Jo, despite her exhaustion, beamed her best beaky smile and held out a wing “I’m Jo, lovely to meet you! I was sent here to investigate the Furnados,” she said, attempting to appear official.

Ardi gestured behind him to the various anemometers and windmills adorning his home. “I study the wind, and something is telling me you should return home.”

Jo brushed down her feathers, ready to argue as to why her mission should continue, when she was interrupted by the loud whirring of the windmills behind Ardi. “Are they supposed to be going that fast?” She asked.

Ardi shouted “We need to leave, now!” The spokes on the tallest anemometer creaked and snapped off, flying backwards, skipping across the dunes.

Ardi slammed his fist on a corroded metal button next to his front door, causing the earth to move next to his house. The ground shook as a trap door opened and Ardi quickly winched up a battered looking vehicle to the surface. “My dune buggy,” he said in explanation as he climbed on board, gesturing for Jo to join him, before driving with haste in the direction of Sapphire Town.

Jo felt a tug on her feathers, glancing backwards, a huge Furnado loomed behind Ardi’s home casting a menacing shadow, before utterly consuming the hut in a cloud of sand and fur. Ardi sighed in sadness as he heard the commotion but didn’t look back.

The furnado quickly gained ground on them, whipping angrily at the dune buggy. Ardi expertly swerved around the winds as smaller Furnados swarmed around them, joining the chase. THey were almost at the edge of Sapphire Town! Just one more large dune to navigate! Abruptly, the buggy was side swiped, sending it into a spin!

Without a second thought, Jo swooped towards Ardi, wrapping her soft wings around him in a safe embrace. Tucking her head in and holding on tight she fell towards the ground, rolling across the sand before landing in a ball right at the edge of town.

Much to their relief the Furnado narrowly missed the town by a whisker, heading straight out towards the sea, hopefully to never return.

Suddenly, Jo’s voice penetrated the noise of the crowd, “This is my friend Ardi, he saved me, and I think he can help the town!” she said proudly. “Now we are heading to the tavern to give my report and have a hard-earned glass of milk!” Caught off guard Ardi contemplated turning tail and running, he could always rebuild, he’d done it before, but something stopped him. Jo had saved him, she genuinely seemed to care. “Perhaps one milk for the road?” he said, surprising himself. Jo wrapped her wing around him as they strode through the crowds toward the tavern, and he couldn’t help but smile.

Fire

There are no known specific details about fire Cool Pets at this time. The origin story should be released in the coming weeks.

The Cataclysm: The Fire Disaster (Origin Story)

This origin story is not yet released to the public.

Grass

What is Cooltopia? Cool Cats NFT Game

Cooltopia is the ecosystem that brings together Cool Cats, Cool Pets, and the economy driven by the native token $MILK. At the center of the system is Cool Cats NFT, which enables top-tier access to everything Cooltopia.

The team’s goal is to make it the most “accessible gamified NFT experience.” In the game, Cats and Pets can earn $MILK tokens for participating — Cats earn passively, while Pets earn for going on quests.

Some have compared the simplicity and fun of Cooltopia with games like Pokemon, where you also use cute cartoon animals to go on quests. The development team has rolled out several updates since launch to improve speed and lower the already-low gas fees.

The current state of Cooltopia — which can be visited at coolcatsnft.com — is only a small slice of what the Cool Cats NFT is planning for their ecosystem.

Cool Pets Mint Information

In addition to the 9,999 Cool Pets NFTs claimable by Cool Cats NFT holders, there will be an allowlist and public drop of 10,000 additional Cool Pets.

Mint Limit: 1 claim per Cool Cats NFT (free), 1 per allowlist spot (expected to be around 8,500 total for allowlist mint), unlimited via public mint (expected to be around 1,500 total for public)

Chain: Minting will be on Ethereum, while gamification and interaction with items will be on Polygon.

Развитие NFT коллекции

По мере роста NFT команда будет усердно работать над тем, чтобы сотрудничать с как можно большим количеством NFT. Это будет принимать различные формы: раздачи подарков, конкурсы, розыгрыши призов, аукционы-все, что угодно, чтобы помочь укрепить и укрепить единое сплоченное сообщество. Получить больше информации вы можете на главной страничке проекта, либо через блог Medium. Там публикуются статьи с новостями. Аудит смарт-контракта не проводился.

Questing

The questing mechanics are complex. There are four main questing elements: quest rarities, quest rewards, quest bonuses, and quest re-rolling.

Quest Rarities

Cool Pets can also earn items during quests, but only in the creature’s final form. Eggs and hatchlings can go on quests, but cannot return items from those quests. Items will not be rewarded during each quest, but rather will be randomly rewarded to Cool Pets that complete quests in their final forms.

Quest Bonuses

There are two ways to earn quest bonuses in Cooltopia. First, choose a Cool Pet with the best element for the job. If the Cool Pet has the same element affinity as the quest, holders will earn additional rewards. Having a variety of elemental Cool Pets to choose from will come in handy here.

Re-Rolling Quests

The main source of earning $MILK is by taking your Cool Pets on quests. At the time of this article, Pets are allowed to go on 10 quests a day, earning an average of $13 USD per day (at the current price of $MILK).

Depending on the rarity of the quest, they can earn a wide range of $MILK, from 30 to over 1,000. The quest rarities are Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. The $MILK token, which started out at $0.12 at the very beginning of launch, went down to $0.07 for a bit, and is now trading below $0.01.

Only Pets can go on quests, but Cool Cats NFT holders also passively earn $MILK based on the rarity tier of their NFT — the lowest being 1,050 $MILK per day. In the future, these holders can also benefit from staking final-form Cool Pets in The Adventurers’ Guild to earn passive $MILK at a lower rate.

3/Choose the highest number on the left panel. 4/Select the cool pet you want to send on a mission.

Many Cool Cats and Cool Pets community members have already requested additional utility for $MILK, including secondary NFT marketplace purchases in $MILK, staking, merch purchases, and more. While these aren’t yet confirmed on the roadmap, the Cool Cats team will be searching for ways to improve the Cooltopia ecosystem.

There are four mysterious upcoming events on the Cool Cats NFT roadmap. No additional information is available at this time, but it is worth mentioning:

Additional Gamified Utility for Creatures: Along with the current utility that will be in place, we have plans to introduce another chunky piece of utility for the creatures (Cool Pets) and Cool Cat holders.

A Place to Call Home: Once we have additional data from the creatures (Cool Pets), we will be introducing additional utility for them.

The Fractures Begin!: The fractures are a story-based system / utility we aim to launch in Q2 2022.

Launch of Myno Mayhem (Name to be decided): This is a top secret project, more information closer to the time.

This article will be updated as more information is released.

What are Cool Pets NFT?

Cool Pets are a collection of 19,999 NFTs that start as eggs and can be morphed into various stages through Cooltopia. The four elements are Grass, Fire, Water, and Air. The floor for eggs is currently 0.72 Ethereum, but it once reached over 2.5 Ethereum around the time of launch before the price settled.

Cool Pets NFT in Final Forms on MomentRanks

About 60 percent of Cool Pet holders do not own a Cool Cat, meaning Cool Pets are their only exposure to the ecosystem.

The Pet launch was on January 31, 2022, and cost 0.5 Ethereum per pet in the public mint. Cool Cats NFT owners were also able to claim one free Cool Pet for each cat they owned.

The Hidden Game in Cooltopia

The game is in point-and-click style, and players have to attempt to keep Blue Cat’s head from falling off the screen. It jumps up each time it is clicked.

Here’s how to find it:

1. Go to the Cool Cats official website here.

2. Connect your wallet.

3. Open the meowpad, and select quests.

4. Choose a quest, select a Cool Pet to quest with, and click begin quest.

6. A fun mini game will appear on screen, enjoy!

Future of Cooltopia, the Cool Cats Game

In the immediate future, game improvements will include more efficient questing for people with multiple Cool Pets. Later features have been hinted as expanding questing, adding housing, battling (which will take “a while”), crafting, and more.

Battle preview on the Cool Cats NFT website.

There is also a bug form for Cooltopia players to fill out if they encounter a new problem. The team’s Town Hall meetings also serve as helpful updates for both Cooltopia and the collections in general.

Below is a list of all the Cool Cats Town Hall questions asked about Cool Pets or the upcoming Cool Cats NFT game in general.

Nov. 5, 2021 Town Hall

Q: What will the Cool Pets tasks or jobs be? Why would you rent one out? (fungibles)

A: If you have a primary Cool Pet that you want to work on, but you don’t have time to use the other few that you hold, you can put them into a daycare center, and your Cool Pets will earn you $GOLD as other people use your Cool Pets to earn rewards. (xtremetom)

Q: With the pets, is that going to work like a staking mechanism would? (HunchoCat)

A: Yes, we don’t ever grant ownership of your Cool Cats NFT to another person for obvious reasons. But it is essentially staking your Cool Pet into the daycare center. (xtremetom)

Q: For people that want to run quests that don’t own any assets, do they need to create a MetaMask wallet to gain their winnings or assets? (SethBA)

A: Yes, they will need a MetaMask wallet. (xtremetom)

Q: What can we expect from what the quests will actually be? (TheSmarmyBum.eth)

Q: Is there utility for $GOLD other than selling that $GOLD? (TheSmarmyBum.eth)

A: You can use the $GOLD to do small things in the system for stage one, but the big things will be coming shortly. I’m trying to keep it vague. We have some really cool plans. (Lynqoid)

Q: Once the Cool Pets are fully evolved, what will be the use of buying items then? (Jishous)

A: We can’t talk about that yet, sorry. (xtremetom)

Nov. 12, 2021 Town Hall

Q: Is there going to be a tiered rarity for the Cool Pets? (placid)

A: Rarity is not tiered like the Cool Cats for the Cool Pets. You have total control over whether your egg hatches as a fire, water, air, or grass Cool Pet. So, we have no control over how many of each Cool Pets type there will be. But every single Cool Pet that comes out is unique like Cool Cats. (xtremetom)

Q: Do you have an idea of how many pets will be available, or how quickly Cool Pets will need to be claimed by the community? (GoBigBlue)

A: There is a population of Cool Pets available for public mint. Cool Cats holders can claim whenever they want; there is no time limit. We are thinking of doing a whitelist for the public mint through a series of competitions, events, and collaborations. We want to avoid a gas war in any way possible. (xtremetom)

Q: I was wondering if supply on $MILK is going to be infinite? Or is there a capped supply eventually? (Brian)

A: I’m not going to answer that. I’m still balancing everything out. (xtremetom)

Q: How are the attributes on the Cool Pets going to be random? (The Righteous Link)

A: The entire interaction system with items is handled on Polygon. We can handle all those interactions on Polygon. Our systems do all the data handling off of the Ethereum network. Once the «Final Form» of your Cool Pets is reached, we will update the meta data through Ethereum. (xtremetom)

Q: Will $MILK be a perpetual passive yield? (LostProphet)

A: Cool Cats will be able to claim $MILK. I’m not going to talk to an end point to that. In terms of questing, $GOLD can be earned through questing. I can’t leak any more alpha, I’m sorry.

Q: If you have multiple Cool Cats, will you be able to claim multiple Cool Pets? (Vinnie Hager)

A: Yes, and all in a single transaction. (xtremetom)

Q: When it comes to rarity, will the rarity of cats matter when generating $MILK? (Blackflash)

A: Yes, it does depend on your Cool Cats tier. But it will not be a major difference. Higher tier Cool Cats, however, will have benefits across multiple systems. (xtremetom)

Q: Can you talk more about being able to rent out your Cool Cats for the game? (delphinoto)

A: As a Cool Cats holder, you can put your Cool Pets into a daycare center and rent them out to new people who come into the system. The new people can run a quest with your Cool Pet and a percentage of the $GOLD earned from that quest will go to the new person and the person who rented out their Cool Pets. (xtremetom)

Nov. 19, 2021 Town Hall

Q: Will the Cooltopia be the metaverse where Cool Cats can walk around as 3D creatures? (briann)

A: What we’re releasing is stages in our development process. We’re looking at half a year to get out something super polished and nice. I’m not going to directly answer your question, but more stuff is coming. (xtremetom)

Nov. 26, 2021 Town Hall

Q: Is there a set release date for the Cool Pets? (Mike «Non-Fungible»)

A: Because of the rolling beta, if someone finds a substantial bug, we will have to play it be ear. We’re aiming for beta testing for one to two weeks, and then launching after that. (xtremetom)

Q: Is it one Cool Pet per Cool Cat? (Pixlit Moglets)

A: Yes. Then there will be a population of Cool Pets available for the public via allowlist and a more traditional drop. (xtremetom)

Q: Will the legendary Cool Cats get legendary Cool Pets? (Brian)

A: We didn’t think it would be fair for the entire community, so no. (xtremetom)

Q: For the minting for the Cool Pets, will Cool Cats holders be able to mint additional Cool Pets? (Matt)

A: If you’re on the whitelist, at the moment, you can mint two Cool Pets. And there is nothing stopping you from adding from the whitelist spot, even if you have Cool Pets in your wallet from holding a Cool Cat. (xtremetom)

Q: Is there a way to generate $MILK without being a Cool Cat holder? (Blackflash)

A: The quest system will allow you to borrow someone else’s Cool Pet and take them on quests. Doing those quests will give you $GOLD, which is the Cool Cats in-game currency. Once you’ve got that $GOLD, you can enter the entire system. (Lynqoid)

Q: What would be the benefits of lending out your Cool Pets? (Blackflash)

A: The benefit is for people who have too many Cool Pets, or people who do not have time to play the game, it would turn into a passive income of $GOLD by lending out your Cool Pets. (Lynqoid)

Q: Will different Cool Cats’ tiers generate more or less $MILK? (Blackflash)

A: Yes, but it isn’t going to be that significant. We are not front-loading all of the benefits for higher-tier Cool Cats.

Q: Do you have an intended release date for gameplay and tokenomics? (horndog.eth)

A: We’re running tokenomics through beta testing, which means if there is an imbalance, we will need a readjustment. I like to think of us as an NFT-driven Neopets with tokenomic fun. No fixed tokenomics or release date just yet. (xtremetom)

Dec. 3, 2021 Town Hall

Q: For the residual projects (Cool Cats NFT collabs, achievements, etc.), how much utility does the future hold for them? (LordArugula)

A: Cool Cats has done well, which unfortunately does mean some people get priced out of the project. Cool Pets is going to have a lower price point. Adam has also been working on Paper Cats, which is designed to have an infinite mint supply at nearly gas. This is to teach the community about NFTs. Paper Cats will not have specific utility, but they will be taking part in future events. And Cool Pets will have a lot of utility planned out for them. Everything but Paper Cats will have utility. We are going to just keep building out. (xtremetom)

Q: Where are you finding inspiration for the upcoming game? (lamdeforge)

Q: Will the littles NFTs be on the same level as Cool Pets? (LiveLans)

A: I can only speak with regard to our side. You can earn $GOLD in our system and extract that as $MILK. You can do whatever you want with that. We, at the moment, don’t have designs for the littles to come into our universe. I’m not saying we never will. But the $MILK can certainty exit our system. (xtremetom)

A: This is exactly the problem we are trying to solve. We provide added utility for those that are holding $MILK. You can bring it into our ecosystem and engage with our gameplay. (wil, from the littles).

Q: Do you have a rough estimate of how many Cool Pets will be available? (LiveLans)

A: We do. We are looking to make that number public pretty soon. (xtremetom)

Dec. 10, 2021 Town Hall

Q: Will we get to know who is using our Cool Cat or Cool Pet? (OOSKWEED)

A: We’re working through some mechanics. There is a specific reason that it might not work like that. If you put your Cool Pet out for rent, it might be in there for a week and no one uses it. But to make that experience a positive experience, you’re going to gain something regardless. The questing system is something we’re working through right now. (Lynqoid)

Q: Are the quests completed mainly with Cool Cats or Cool Pets or a combination of both? (Friendly Degen)

A: The idea is that you take your Cool Pets on a quest. But if you own a Cool Cat, you’ll be able to put your Cool Pet into an automated section of the questing system. Your Cool Cat will passively generate gold, so it doesn’t need to do questing. (Lynqoid)

Q: Do you have aspirations for creating a turn-based strategy game? (Friendly Degen)

A: The only thing we’ve released so far is the battle tab button on the beta. (Lynqoid)

Q: Will all the individual items in the game be NFTs? (Pixlit)

A: Yes, they are separate NFTs on Polygon. (Lynqoid)

Q: Are there any updates in terms of timelines for the mint of Cool Pets? (gatos)

A: Specific timelines are still a little bit tricky. Our main goal is to deliver a smooth product over just trying to get it out there. An exact timeline is difficult. But next week is going to be crunch time for us. Potentially at the end of next week, we might be in a better position to talk about exact timelines. (Lynqoid)

Q: Will I earn passive $GOLD from my Cool Pet? (ant)

A: There may be room in the tokenomics for a tiny bit of passive $GOLD, but we’re still working through everything. (Lynqoid)

Dec. 17, 2021 Town Hall

Q: Can we expect a stealth launch? Or is there a plan to market the upcoming game? (Friendly Degen)

A: A new team member has been added to our Discord. That person is spearheading all of our YouTube and TikTok content. So we’ve got a person who is going to be doing that whole side of things. We will market on YouTube and TikTok. Whether or not we will engage or collaborate with other YouTubers is still open. We are currently focused on closed beta. (Lynqoid)

Q: Will there be legendary Cool Pets?

A: The best answer for that is that we’re not telling. (xtremetom)

Jan. 7, 2022 Town Hall

Q: After seeing the gas spike on Polygon this week, have you put any thought into what we will do if we run into the same problem? (Bryce)

A: Yes, we have made considerations. (Elu)

A: The good thing about our entire system is that we can easily flip to a new chain. There is work involved in that, but it is a possibility. We are communicating with Polygon about a few bits and pieces. As I understand it, they were absolutely slammed with bots. This could happen with any chain. We will keep an eye on it and try to find a path around it. The good thing is we are footing the bill, so you don’t have to worry about gas. We do. (xtremetom)

Q: Are you still thinking it’s a six month window to come out with a more polished game? (Chris Camillo)

A: We are trying to stay true to our roadmap as much as possible. There are some things you can’t really plan for. Where possible, we will add more fun, random stuff, too. (xtremetom)

Q: Is $MILK launching the same day as the Cool Pets?

A: We can’t launch without $MILK. The entire game runs on $MILK. We might delay the bridge between Polygon and Ethereum, but it is going to be $MILK at launch, yes.

Q: What does the reveal of the Cool Pets look like?

A: You get your egg. With your Cool Cat, you can claim $MILK. You can still earn $MILK by questing with your egg. With the $MILK, you can then buy a pet box, which can be opened and will give you a random assortment of various pet items. Those items have a mood attached to them. That mood will have units toward one element. At the end of the period, whichever element gets the most units will determine your creature’s element when it is hatched. (xtremetom)

Q: How did you get to the 19,999 number for Cool Pets? (JohnKnopf)

A: We wanted to give one Cool Pet to every Cool Cat holder, and we wanted to make a collection size that wouldn’t flood the system. We need time to balance the system. This is our way to ease into this and then grow from that point and build out new features. (xtremetom)

Q: Is it safe to assume that one of the elements is going to be chainsaw? (Seinfeld)

A: Back to the drawing board we go. (Elu)

A: In our internal sketches, we have a Cool Pet with chainsaw arms. (xtremetom)

Q: Will the Cool Pets have rarities? (JoshGMI)

A: It’s really hard for us to code in rarities. We’ve handed over the ability to the community to figure out what element the Cool Pets have. There will be naturally occurring rarities. (xtremetom)

Q: Right now on the docs, it is currently TBD about cat rarity and how it relates to $MILK. Can you drop some hints for the community regarding that? (root)

A: Cat rarity does play into the amount of $MILK you can earn. We have said that we don’t want to front-load all the benefits of having a higher tier cat into $MILK. That makes it incredibly difficult for us to balance the system. We will spread out the benefits across the entire system. (xtremetom)

Q: How many other potential types of elements are we considering? And what do the elements actually do? (Sasha)

A: We’re looking to build a battling system. You can imagine what elements would do via their attacks. The elements will come into play in questing, too. (xtremetom)

Q: How long do quests take? (Sasha)

A: You can do 25 quests per day and they’re instant. You don’t have to come back every single hour. (Lynqoid)

Q: Have you been coordinating with DeFi platforms or other gamified NFTs to have everything great tokenomics when the game launches? (theboognish)

A: We’ve been talking to people who are specialized in DeFi, tokenomics, and gamification. We’re going to do as much due diligence as we possibly can. (Elu)

Q: Is there a finite amount of items the Cool Pets can interact with? (CTRLaltFX)

A: That is correct. One thing to take into consideration is that the Cool Pets item supply will have future uses. (Lynqoid)

Q: Will the mint price for the public mint will be around 0.025 ETH like the Cool Cats NFT was? (Prenzy)

A: We don’t have a final price on that yet. (Elu)

Jan. 14, 2022 Town Hall

A: Potentially, we will turn the site on so you can get your Cool Pet. But there may be a delay before you can interact with it. Within a short amount of time, $MILK claiming and the game should be available. (Lynqoid)

Q: Will $MILK be internal to the site at the beginning, or will we be able to deposit into Polygon wallets from the start? (Wise Token)

A: It is likely that it will be internal initially. This is to protect from issues that have been going around recently. Over time, you’ll be able to convert it out into ETH and into your wallet and wherever else. (Lynqoid)

Q: Will there be NFT plots for the game? (camillo)

Q: Will the egg hatch in stages? (Toby Lasso)

A: This is something we haven’t locked in yet. Can you put all your $MILK into one Cool Pet to advance it faster, or do you have to spread it out? We haven’t locked that in yet. (Lynqoid)

Q: Will you be establishing a liquidity pair for the $MILK token? Or does the community have to establish that on its own? (atownbrown)

A: We will have more information about that coming. We’re aware of the issues around liquidity. (Lynqoid)

Q: Will Cool Pets be available on OpenSea instantly? (Toro)

A: It should show up instantly. (Cool Cats)

Q: What happens if you buy an egg that has already been interacted with? (Toro)

A: It should be tradable in every state that it is in. You’ll be able to see all the items the egg has interacted with in the metadata. (ELU)

Q: Regarding the drop, will the tier breakdown for $MILK be live the day of the drop? (Lugo)

A: We should have as much information as possible available beforehand. Even if we locked the $MILK, you’ll have the information beforehand. (Lynqoid)

Q: Can you wait to mint your Cool Pet? (Russell)

A: There is no rush to mint your Cool Pet. You can claim your Cool Pet whenever is good for you. It doesn’t progress unless you interact with it. (Lynqoid)

Q: How long does the allowlist have to mint? (Muffinz)

A: We haven’t locked that in exactly yet. (Lynqoid)

Q: How does ETH dropping in value impact your raise from Cool Pets? (SammySeaLegs)

A: Regarding the ETH price, yes we did price at 0.5 ETH ahead of the recent dip, but from a capital perspective, we plan for the long term. We’re obviously not going to change the mint price. We know that ETH is volatile. I lived through the last crypto and NFT winter. There are effects in the marketplace that are beyond our control. I always plan for contingencies that address these unknowns. We have the capital to execute our plan. (Chris Hassett)

Q: What are some of the first things you want to accomplish after the launch of Cool Pets? (octapad)

A: We have a product roadmap. We want to further advance the gamified worlds that Cool Cats and Cool Pets can engage in, and further develop tokenomics that make sense for the community. We want to focus on building that gamified world out as aggressively as we can. We are growing our tech team and constantly hiring on that side of things. The other thing is we have more happening than we can release right now, but because of our community, there are a lot of expanding brand opportunities outside the NFT space. There are a series of partners we are looking at working with to help us do that. I can’t give anything more specific than that. The last thing I would say, and this is a real priority of mine, one of the things I really enjoy doing is to continually try to bring great, super-talented people onboard. (Chris Hassett)

How to Evolve Cool Pets

In Cooltopia, you feed your Cool Pets NFT items that are purchased in $MILK and interact them in order to grow it from an egg to a pet. From egg, to hatching, to hatched, to final form is currently 25 transactions. You can only give a Cool Pet five items per day, since growing a Cool Pet takes time. These items are obtained through the Cool Shop marketplace, or Chests full of items which you can also purchase with $MILK.

Cool Pets NFT Evolution

There are over 17 million unique combinations of Cool Pet traits. The items that are fed or given to Cool Pets determine its final form. Furthermore, the final interaction you give them to reach final form is the most powerful of all. In the future, these elements and combination of elements may have various uses across Cooltopia — but this is still currently unknown. You can also see these levels within final form Pet metadata.

The Cool Pets community has worked together to keep track of what they have fed them to discover which food and items may create each final form. This has led to fun experimentation and speculation within Cooltopia and the Cool Cats NFT Discord.

Growing Your Pet

When it is time to finally grow a pet (from egg to hatching to hatched to final form), holders will need to decide what element they want their pet to be and what items to give it. Items can be purchased by acquiring chests or by going to the marketplace.
