# Phase 2 - The Merge (COMPLETED)

MERGE

Merge 2 inscriptions of the **SAME** tier to upgrade

### How to play?&#x20;

Send 2 GOBs of the **SAME** tier

**IMPORTANT**: You must send an **EVEN** number of GOBs of the **SAME** tier, from the **SAME** address

\*We can't tell if you send from multiple addresses and so any single or odd numbers will just be sent back in their original form

If you have odd numbers in multiple wallets, best option is to accumulate the leftover you want to merge in a single address and send from that address\

TLDR: &#x20;

* Send even numbers of any Tier
* You can send as many as you want from one address, as long as it is **EVEN** numbers of the **SAME** tier&#x20;
* Guaranteed survival (MERGE) to the next Tier (CANNOT DIE)
* Once that merge window (CYCLE) is complete we will index and airdrop your upgraded GOBs back to you
* If you do nothing and just hold, you will stay alive in the Tier you are currently in (cannot die)
* You can play or not play in any cycle, you don't need to play previous cycles to take part in the game

256 Tier 8 GOBs = 1 Genesis if merged every cycle (miss a cycle and you won't make it)

| **Cycle** | **Cycle Duration (Blocks)** | **Cycle Starts (Block)** | **Cycle Ends (Block)** |

Extra details

* You can send in bulk, it will be cheaper (NO LIMITS)
* You can also send one at a time, as long as it is an even number from the same address within that merge window (cycle)
* Rare Colors (Pepe, Vertical Rainbow, Random Rainbow) keep the rarest genetics when they upgrade, even when merging with common colors
* Common colors (Gradient, Random Lightness, Monochrome) will be re-rolled every time when merged with other common colors

**Examples:**

| INVALID  | 1 x Tier 8 from one address and 1 x Tier 8 from a different address | We will send each one back to the address they came from (they won't be merged) |
| INVALID  | 1 x Tier 8 and 1 x Tier 7                                           | We will send them both back (they won't be merged)                              |
| INVALID  | 1 x Tier 8, 1 x Tier 7, 1 x Tier 6 and 1 x Tier 5                   | We will send all 4 back (they won't be merged)                                  |

These are just a few examples, you can merge any tier in any cycle&#x20;

### Why play?

Less GOBs - Higher Yield

Advanced notes:&#x20;

These shouldn't relate to most people, if the following doesn't make sense you can disregard

* All inscriptions sent must be on the first sat of the UTXO
* All inscriptions sent must be in separate outputs
* Transaction must be confirmed on or before the end block of that cycle

### Phase 3 details - SOON

## WARNING

**Do NOT connect to unknown links**

**Do NOT send to unknown addresses**

If someone says you do, it's a scam
