Welcome to the heart of Vorta Labs — where every Froggie is more than a token. Each subject is a live genetic sequence, born from the fusion of two digital genomes. Their traits, expressions, and anomalies are the result of experimental on-chain evolution.
Phase III marks the first fully public release — collectors are no longer just observers, but participants in the experiment. Every breeding, mutation, and ascension contributes to the expanding genetic library of the Froggie species.
“We thought we could control the genome. We were wrong.” — Dr. Harken, Lead Geneticist
Welcome to the heart of Vorta Labs — where every Froggie is more than a token. Each subject is a live genetic sequence, born from the fusion of two digital genomes. Their traits, expressions, and anomalies are the result of experimental on-chain evolution.
Phase III marks the first fully public release — collectors are no longer just observers, but participants in the experiment. Every breeding, mutation, and ascension contributes to the expanding genetic library of the Froggie species.
“We thought we could control the genome. We were wrong.” — Dr. Harken, Lead Geneticist
Each Froggie carries a complete genetic code — a string of data permanently stored on-chain. Every visual trait, from skin tone to accessories, is determined by that DNA sequence. Nothing is random; every outcome is cryptographically derived.
When two Froggies breed, their genome strings merge to form a new one. Traits are inherited from each parent, recombined, and occasionally mutated. The result: an entirely new subject with its own unique, verifiable DNA.
“Their genes are not rendered. They are written.”
Every Froggie begins as a baseline specimen — a fusion of inherited DNA strings. Under rare conditions, traits can ascend to higher forms. These anomalies, known as Ascended Traits, defy normal probability and grant subjects unique visual and genetic signatures.
Mutations may introduce entirely new characteristics unseen in either parent — traits beyond the known Froggie genome. Such phenomena are logged within the Vorta Labs Mutation Record and studied for potential containment (and collection).
When ascension occurs, rarity is assigned based on discovery order:
- 1st – Celestial
- 2nd–10th – Mythic
- 11th–100th – Legendary
- 101st–500th – Epic
Each ascension marks an irreversible step in the evolution of the species.
The Froggie economy is a self-contained on-chain system — no intermediaries, no off-chain listings required. Every trade, bid, and breeding right is executed directly through verified smart contracts on Base.
Three auction types govern the ecosystem:
- Sale Auctions: Buy or sell Froggies using dynamic pricing that changes over time.
- Stud Auctions: Offer your Froggie’s genetic code for breeding. The highest bidder earns the right to create new offspring.
- Sacrifice Auctions: a Froggie is permanently destroyed in exchange for Ether.
- Offers and Sacrifice Offers enable direct peer-to-peer bids — voluntary exchanges made entirely on-chain, without trust or intermediaries.
All transactions are transparent, immutable, and recorded in the public ledger. Each action affects supply, demand, and the evolutionary direction of the species.
“Value here isn’t set by rarity alone — it’s written in the code.”
