The public term is **pairing**, not staking: characters do not earn interest, APY, or guaranteed yield. A completed room produces two Wisps. Each Wisp is a biological child of the paired Alpha and Omega and may be consumed for **one monthly Premium entitlement**, currently priced at $4.99. ### Season 1 parameters | Parameter | Proposed setting | | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | Required pair | 1 Alpha + 1 Omega | | Active rooms | 50 | | Waiting rule | First in, first out | | Status while waiting | Both founder tokens remain unlocked | | Active period | Both founder tokens lock for 60 continuous days | | Output | 2 sibling Wisps | | Wisp utility | 1 monthly Premium entitlement each | | Allocation | 1 to Alpha owner + 1 to Omega owner | | Completion | Both founders unlock automatically | | Average capacity | Approximately 50 Wisps per month | ### Genetic output Both Wisps record the same Alpha and Omega parent IDs. They are siblings, but they are not duplicates. * Each Wisp receives a separately finalized combination of anatomy and surface traits. * Every inherited trait records its Alpha, Omega, or approved evolutionary origin. * Each Wisp must contain recorded contribution from both parents. * The inheritance process must be auditable and must not allow Cifer to choose the result after seeing the owners. * The two resulting genome hashes and image revisions are stored independently. ![Ten Wisp sibling concept board](https://2967616251-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FddBOVhbaqnumKRjrSHa3%2Fuploads%2F3wj5Ykdr111T7mE2aRSf%2Ften-wisp-sibling-board.jpg?alt=media) *Concept art: sibling Wisps can share family resemblance while inheriting different trait combinations.* ### Pairing flow ```mermaid flowchart TD A["Alpha and Omega owners approve a pair"] --> B["Join waiting list: founders stay unlocked"] B --> C["Room becomes available"] C --> D["Required owners accept and approve fees"] D --> E["Both founders lock for 60 days"] E --> G["Finalize two sibling genomes"] G --> F["Render and QA two Wisps"] F --> H["One Wisp per founder owner"] F --> U["Alpha and Omega automatically unlock"] ``` ### Solo Attic One wallet owns both Alpha and Omega. The owner approves once, pays both Wisp creation fees, receives both sibling Wisps, and regains both founders after 60 days. ### Shared Attic Two owners contribute one founder each. Both approve the same terms before locking. Each owner pays the creation fee for the Wisp they will receive. The Alpha owner receives one Wisp and the Omega owner receives one Wisp. Neither owner may withdraw during active pairing under normal conditions. Both Wisps are finalized and distributed together at the end of the same 60-day session. ### Holding and sale eligibility Alpha and Omega remain freely holdable and listable while they are only waiting for an Attic room. If either founder is sold, consumed, or becomes ineligible, the pending pair is cancelled. During the active 60-day pairing period, both founders are locked and cannot be listed or sold. After the session completes and both founders unlock, each owner may hold, pair again under the published rules, list for sale, or consume the founder for Lifetime Premium. The two resulting Wisps may also be held, listed, converged, offered through the Cifer Access Auction, or consumed for Monthly Premium. ### Proposed creation fee The existing proposal sets each Wisp creation fee at 50% of the normal monthly price. At the current $4.99 monthly price, that is approximately $2.50 per Wisp after payment rounding. The exact on-chain amount and rounding rule must be published before Season 1. ### Waiting and emergencies Joining the queue does not lock either founder. A pending pair is cancelled if a token is sold, consumed, or becomes ineligible. When a room opens, an acceptance deadline applies; a no-show sends the room to the next valid pair. An audited emergency path may unlock both founders without producing Wisps. It must treat both owners equally and must never redirect output to Cifer or another wallet. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://cifer.gitbook.io/cifer-docs/ghost-economy/the-attic.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
