Every token begins as either a generative Cell or a Bacterium, each with a role inside the colony. Cells stake to farm $BIO and fuse to climb the generations, from Basic Cell toward Organism. Bacteria do not farm. They hunt Cells when they exit staking, capture their pending $BIO and can mutate into Plagues to reach higher generations.
There is one shared resource, two factions and one rule: evolve or be consumed.
Your $BIO builds up while a Cell is staked. The risk begins when you try to exit and claim it, because a predator may catch the Cell on its way out. Reach Generation 5 and the form becomes an Organism, leaving the food chain for a seasonal war over a shared $BIO pool.
The genesis supply is fixed at 10,000. No additional NFTs are minted after genesis. Over time, tokens move between active, evolved, predator and dead-pool states, changing the balance of the colony without expanding the collection.
