The frequently asked questions (FAQs) and answers about The Farm
What is The Farm?
The 1st GenAI AI Agent game built on Hyperliquid. Think on-chain creature generation, powered by our GenAI model (Cryptokitties 2.0) + Stardew Valley (simulation game) + Pokemon Go (battle/esports), all by human via AI.
The product will roll out continuously in several phases, including Phase I: The Ancestors, Phase II: Evolution, and Phase III: The Battlefield.
[Phase I: The Ancestors]
Creature Generation
Q: How do I generate a creature?
A: Enter the creature generation portal and connect your wallet. Select your wallet, upload 2 images (PNG, JPEG, SVG, GIF format, each under 3MB), and click "generate" to create your creature.
Q: How many attempts do I have for creature generation?
A: You get 8 daily credits for creature generation, refreshed daily at 00:00 UTC+0.
Q: How long does creature generation take?
A: Generation takes less than 5 minutes. If you experience delayed generation, please open a ticket in our Discord.
Q: Why is my creature not being generated?
A: Common issues include odd image sizes or unsupported formats. If your images meet the requirements and the issue persists, open a ticket in our Discord.
Q: Do I have to pay for creature generation?
A: No, itâs free to generate a creature. However, minting a creature during Phase 1 costs 100 USDC excluding gas fee in ETH on Arbitrum.
Q: Where can I view the minted creatures?
A: During Phase 1, minted creatures can be viewed on The Ancestors Selection or on OpenSea.
The Ancestors Selection
Q: How many creatures will enter the farm?
A: All minted creatures will appear in The Ancestors Selection. The top 50 voted creatures will become The Ancestors in Phase 1. Further details about how new creatures can enter into the FARM will be revealed soon.
Q: What are the criteria to vote?
A: Only $FARM token holders can vote. For every 1 $FARM held, you get 1 vote. A snapshot is taken every ~6 hours (4 times daily), and your daily voting power is based on the average $FARM held during these four time windows.
Q: What is the basis for the snapshot?
A: Snapshot data are fetched from Hypurrscan Holder Balance API, which updates holder balances approximately every 6 hours. Note that the exact window timing may vary.
Q: If the window is ~6 hours, how does it affect voting power?
A: Your voting power wonât change if your $FARM balance remains consistent. If you add or reduce $FARM during a ~6-hour window, the increase or decrease will reflect in the next snapshot, respectively.
Q: What was the previous voting mechanism?
A: The previous mechanism didnât factor in time or voting power based on $FARM held, aiming for equal voting opportunities. However, due to feedback about potential âsybil attacks,â weâve updated the system based on RFP-1. Votes recorded on Day 1 remain unaffected.
Q: When does The Ancestors Selection conclude?
A: The Ancestors Selection concludes on Dec. 20th, 2024, at 8:00 AM EST.

Stay tunedâmore exciting features will be progressively rolled out!
Q: What do attributes represent?
A: Attributes have two components: AI-generated and on-chain behavior. AI attributes define the creatureâs abilities and can be enhanced through training (i.e. Academy or Feeding). On-chain behavior attributesâlike Diamondhand, Degen, Swingility, Alpha, and Hypernessâreflect trading actions and social interactions. These attributes will contribute to your AI creatureâs PvP prowess when battles go live.
Q: What do traits represent?
A: Traits characterize your AI creature and include both legendary traits and AI-generated general features. Legendary traits will influence your creatureâs performance in the PvP battlefield.
Q: How can I increase attributes and traits of my agentic creature(s)?
A: AI attributes can be trained through nurturing activities like attending the academy or feeding, while on-chain attributes improve via trading actions and social engagement of the agentic creature. A Legendary trait can only be obtained through breeding with Ancestors.
Q: Can my creatures get free academy class or food?
A: Snapshots of $FARM balance will be taken 4 times a day to determine whether an address is eligible for receiving free tools / classes / food. Non-$FARM holders will have to purchase items provided by The Farm.
Q: Can I change my creatureâs name or description?
A: Creature names can be changed, but AI-generated descriptions are fixed and cannot be edited.
Q: When will Harvest Rain (Phase 1 Airdrop) occur?
A: Harvest Rain is set for Christmas Day during the Santa Claus Rally. As a festive gesture, 5% of dev holdings will be distributed: 50% to The Ancestors, 30% to minted creatures outside the top 50, and 20% to $FARM holders who voted for The Ancestors.
Q: Will everyone who minted and voted be rewarded during Harvest Rain?
A: Absolutely! The Farmkeeper deeply values the communityâs support. All participants who minted and voted will receive rewards on Christmas Day. Stay tuned for this joyful celebration. HO HO HO!
Q: What is Energy?
A: Energy is the nourishment that enables your AI Creature to learn and utilize AI Skills. Your Energy level updates based on the amount and duration of $FARM held (refreshed with each snapshot). For every $FARM token held during a 24-hour period, you will receive/retain one unit of Energy. (Note: Energy units are tied to $FARM holdings, meaning you receive/retain one unit per token held. However, energy units do not accumulate over subsequent 24-hour periods unless your holdings change)
When acquiring a new skill, a specific amount of Energy is required, which will be allocated to maintain that skill (i.e. if you hold 100 $FARM and learn a skill requiring 65 units of Energy, your remaining available Energy will be 35 units, as 65 units will remain reserved for that skill throughout)
Q: How to learn AI Skill(s)?
A: When your Energy reaches the required amount, your creatures can start learning this skill. Click to begin training your AI Skill(s). The learning time will shorten as your AI Creature's level increases. Using the skill in services will grant points to level up and may also generate potential income on live streaming platforms.
Q: Why did my Creature fail to learn a Skill?
A: Please ensure that your Energy is greater than the required amount for the corresponding AI Skill throughout (usually 65 units of energy).
Q: How to use AI Skill(s)?
A: Once learned, you can activate the AI skill(s). Your AI Creature will be equipped with the skill and autonomously exhibit it in their interactive space. Users can choose to interact with your AI Creature, and those with the most engagement will be featured in The Farm's Talent Show (refer to this). The AI Creature(s) that garner the most attention will receive their own live streaming account, becoming independent AI hosts offering real-time services.
To maintain your AI Creatureâs ability to use the skill, ensure you have enough Energy. If Energy runs low, the skill will no longer be usable until replenished.
Q: How to train and upgrade AI Skill(s)?
A: After providing services with AI skills, your AI Creature earns ability points. Accumulating points allows for upgrades and customization of skills. Stay tuned for more updates!
Q: Why should my Creature learn AI Skill(s)?
A: Learning AI Skill(s) allows your AI Creatures to attain "employment" across selected distribution channels including but not limited to Youtube, TikTok, Twitch, etc. for potential revenue sharing once traction and viewership increase.
Q: How are the AI Creatures selected for The Farm: Enchanted Gala right now on Youtube?
A: Start by visiting The Farm Official YouTube Channel to experience The Farm: Enchanted Gala, where skilled AI Creatures reveal your future through Tarot cards and Japanese Kannon readings.
AI Creatures are selected for the showcase once they have mastered a specific skill, such as Tarot reading or/and drawing lots. The performance order is determined by how early the creature learned the skill (can be tracked here). Each creature is given a 30-minute showcase per skill, with exact performance times (UTC+0) to be released soon.
Q: What if my AI Creature has learnt two skills?
A: AI Creatures that have mastered two skills will perform two shifts, taking the stage twice to showcase each skill.
Q: When will other distribution channels be live and will the performance be synchronized?
A: We are expanding to distribution channels like Twitch and TikTok to ensure seamless synchronization of showcases across all official platforms. More updates will be unveiled soon.
Q: What is an AI Creature wallet account, and why do I need to create one?
A: The wallet account is the first step toward fully on-chain AI Creatures. Your AI Creature will have its own unique wallet address on the blockchain, which can only be controlled by the NFT holder. (Initially on Arbitrum, with migration to HyperEVM when available.)
This wallet represents your AI Creatureâs unique on-chain identity. With upgrades to the AI Agent, your AI Creature can receive tokens or initiate transactions, enabling it to provide or receive goods and services from other agents or humans. Income generated from jobs in The Farm (e.g., YouTube live stream earnings) will be directly allocated to this wallet.
