$HARVEST is a pixel-art multiplayer farming MMO built on Solana. You plant crops, tend them in real time, harvest them for coins and $HARVEST tokens, visit other players' farms, trade items on the marketplace, and level up through a deep progression and prestige system.

It plays like a cozy farming sim on the surface, but under the hood it's a live economy: every crop, animal, plot, boost and cosmetic is tracked server-side, and every trade is settled through an authoritative backend that prevents oversells, duplicate payouts, and cheating.

$HARVEST is a placeholder in-game token today. Real payouts are queued until treasury funding — nothing in the game should be interpreted as a financial promise. Play for the game.

1. Sign in — open the app and either sign up with email or connect your Phantom wallet. Both work; you can link a wallet to your account later from the profile page.
2. Enter your farm — you spawn on a small starter plot. Your farm is persistent and unique to your account.
3. Plant your first crop — pick a seed from the shop, click an empty tile, wait for it to grow, then harvest it. Watering speeds growth and improves yield.
4. List on the marketplace — harvested crops and processed goods go into your bag. List them on the marketplace to trade with other players for coins or $HARVEST.
5. Level up — every action grants XP. Higher levels unlock better seeds, animals, plots and cosmetics.

Your farm is a free-placement sandbox. You can arrange plots, decorations and animals however you like. Every tile on the farm is stored server-side, so what you see is what other visitors see.

• Plots — the ground you plant crops on. Buy more to expand your operation.
• Crops — grow over real-world time. Rarer seeds take longer but pay out more.
• Animals — produce passive resources (eggs, milk, wool). They need feed to stay productive.
• Decor — cosmetic items that make your farm feel like home. Some grant small buffs.
• Boosts — consumable items that speed up growth, double yield, or protect from pests.

Every crop has a grow time, a yield, and a rarity. Growth is tracked in real time on the server — closing the tab does not pause your farm. When a crop is ready you can harvest it into your bag.

Watering gives crops a growth buff and a small yield bonus. Other players can water your crops when they visit — a friendly gesture that also earns them a small XP tip.

Higher-tier crops unlock as you level up. Some rare seeds only drop from quests, prestige rewards or the marketplace.

★5 Rare Crops — an 18-seed legendary set (Pot Bud → Star Berry) is locked until prestige ★5. Seed costs start at 🪙 250,000 and scale to millions, with grow times measured in hours. They pay ~1.06× the seed cost in coins plus premium XP, so they're a long-grind flex rather than a coin firehose. Below ★5 the tiles are hidden from the palette and the server refuses to plant them.

Margin-locked seeds — a seed never costs less than a fixed share of the payout it will actually produce. Normal crops keep a 45% margin, rare crops a 12% margin (their own natural ratio). If your farm is running boosts, tinctures, decor and prestige multipliers, the seed price rises with the payout, so buffs make you earn faster without turning a 250k cost basis into free profit. Unbuffed farms pay the plain catalog price exactly as before.

Late tier repair — Grape → Dragonfruit used to earn almost nothing per minute (Stardust and Dragonfruit were actually losses), which is why everyone skipped straight to rares. Their yields were raised so levels 16–22 are a real earning ladder: Dragonfruit is now the strongest non-rare crop.

The world cycles through four growing seasons — Spring → Summer → Autumn → Winter — on a fixed server-synced rotation (48h per season, in UTC so every player sees the same clock). The current season and its live countdown are shown on the top marquee and on /seasons.

Each crop has a season affinity that changes how it grows:

• In-season — grows 25% faster, +25% yield, +25% XP.
• Off-season (temperate, Lv ≤ 10) — 40% slower, −15% yield. Still plantable.
• Off-season (premium, Lv ≥ 11) — locked. The palette hides them and the server refuses to plant.
• Animals — season-agnostic, produce year-round.

★5 Rare Crops (Pot Bud, Kush Leaf, Hazebush, Dimebag, Blunt Roll, Purple Elixir, Voidberry, CBD Gummy, Rx Bottle, Capsule Pop, Chalk Mint, High Trio, Crown Spire, Shroom Cap, Orb Fruit, Daisy Bloom, Smile Seed, Star Berry) grow in every season — they ignore the rotation entirely, matching their prestige-locked, long-grow-time flex nature.

Weather (rain, storm, heatwave, blizzard, fog, wind) stacks on top of season modifiers and can further nudge growth speed — check the top marquee for today's active weather effect.

Your bag holds everything you own: harvested crops, seeds, boosts, animal products, and any items you've bought or won. Open it from the button on your farm or your profile page.

The bag is the source of truth for what you can sell, list, gift or consume. Inventory transfers are finalized server-side so items can never be duplicated during a trade.

The marketplace is where players trade with each other. Anyone can list items from their bag at a price in coins or in $HARVEST. Anyone else can buy them.

• Listing — pick an item, choose a currency and price, and submit. Your item is escrowed while listed.
• Buying — click a listing, confirm, and the item transfers to your bag while the seller receives payment.
• Filters & sorting — filter by active status, sort by newest, price in coins, or harvest amount to find what you want fast.
• Anti-oversell — the backend confirms every purchase once and only once. Duplicate clicks, race conditions and refresh spam cannot cause double completion.
• Delisting — you can cancel your listing anytime; the item returns to your bag.
• 🔥 5% coin burn — coin-priced sales pay a 5% sink: the buyer pays the full price, the seller receives 95%, and the remaining 5% is destroyed. This is the main drain that keeps coin supply from running away. $HARVEST, gold and SPL-token sales are unaffected.

The GOLD SHOP is the shiny amber button at the top of your farm. It is the only place in the game to move value between the three currencies: 🪙 coins, ✨ gold, and 💎 $HARVEST.

Gold sits in the middle of the economy on purpose. Coins are farmed passively; $HARVEST is the hard bridge currency. Gold is the scarce, capped middle layer that connects them.

HOW TO OPEN IT

• On desktop: click the glowing ✨ GOLD SHOP pill in the top-right of the farm header.
• On mobile: tap the amber GOLD pill — same button, condensed label.
• You must have a wallet connected to convert or deposit. Without a wallet the button shows a 🔒.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Coins → Gold — spend coins at the current official rate to mint gold. Requires the prestige level shown on the tab. Amounts must be a whole multiple of the coin rate.
• Gold → $HARVEST — spend gold to credit your $HARVEST balance. The current rate is 1 gold = 5,000 $HARVEST and is displayed live on the tab so you always see what you'll receive.
• Coin → $HARVEST is disabled — the direct path is intentionally off. The Gold Shop explains this and points you through the coin → gold → $HARVEST route instead.
• Deposit $HARVEST — send $HARVEST from your Solana wallet into the game treasury. The deposit tab shows the treasury address, a copy button, and the queued vs credited state of each transfer.
• Withdraw $HARVEST — queue an on-chain payout of your in-game $HARVEST balance to your linked wallet. Payouts settle as treasury funding allows.

A TYPICAL FLOW

1. Farm crops → sell / harvest → build a coin balance.
2. Prestige at least once (prestige is currently required to convert coins to gold).
3. Open Gold Shop → Coins → Gold, convert a multiple of the coin rate into gold.
4. Switch to Gold → $HARVEST, convert your gold into $HARVEST at 1 : 5,000.
5. When you're ready, queue a Withdraw to move $HARVEST to your Solana wallet.

HEADS-UP

• Every gold → $HARVEST conversion burns 50% of the gold into the permanent burn counter. This is what keeps gold scarce.
• Gold has a 1,000,000 lifetime mint cap across the whole game. When it's gone, it's gone.
• Rates can change; the Gold Shop always shows the current official numbers, and the Stats page charts them over time.

SWAP RULES (GOLD → $HARVEST)

• Verified X handle required — you must link and verify an X account before you can swap. Verification is one-time and stored; you never re-do it. One X account can only ever be verified on one wallet (enforced in the database), which is what blocks multi-accounting.
• 24-hour cooldown per wallet — one swap per day, no exceptions. Swaps that fail or get rejected do not consume your cooldown.
• Automatic review holds — every swap is risk-scored (farm age, signup clustering with other wallets, swap bursts, handle similarity). Score it too high and the swap is held for manual review instead of paying out. You'll see a "held for review" notice; an admin then releases or rejects it.
• Everything is ledgered — gold in and out writes a gold_transactions row, and a job every 6h flags any wallet whose balance drifts from the ledger. Your own history is on /profile.

The Gold Market is the wider economy around ✨ gold — the sinks, the faucets, the burn, and the supply cap that keep it scarce. Where the Gold Shop is a button you press, the Gold Market is the system it plugs into.

WHY GOLD EXISTS

Coins are effectively unlimited: you farm them every second. $HARVEST is the bridge to on-chain value. If coins could convert straight into $HARVEST, coin inflation would drain the treasury. Gold sits between them as a hard-capped, burn-on-spend layer, so the only way from coin farming to $HARVEST is through a scarce resource with a real ceiling.

SUPPLY MODEL

• Mint cap — 1,000,000 gold across the entire game, all-time. This is enforced at the RPC layer, not just the UI.
• Circulating = minted − burned. The Stats page shows minted, burned, circulating, and remaining live.
• Holders — how many farms currently hold at least 1 gold. Also live on the Stats page.

FAUCETS (how gold enters circulation)

• Prestige mints — every prestige mints gold equal to your new prestige level (★1 = 1g, ★2 = 2g, ★3 = 3g, …). This is the main organic faucet.
• Coin → Gold conversions — prestige-gated, whole-multiple only. Uses the current official coin rate.
• Milestones, quests, events, leaderboards, PvP — one-off gold grants tagged in the audit ledger.
• Admin grants / corrections — logged in the ledger with a note, visible to admins.

SINKS (how gold leaves circulation)

• Gold → $HARVEST at 1 : 5,000, with 50% burned permanently on every spend.
• Cosmetic / decor / name-change purchases — future gold sinks live in the same shop.

TRANSPARENCY

• Every gold change is written to the gold_transactions audit ledger with a reason (milestone / quest / pvp / admin / correction) and an optional note.
• The public Stats page charts gold circulating and minted over time.
• The share-on-X snapshot on Stats includes minted, burned, holders and cap so anyone can post the current state.

Gold is a game currency. Nothing on this page is a financial promise; play for the game.

Every farm has a shareable link. Use the Visit tab or the Farms browser to jump to another player's farm in read-only mode. You can water their crops, admire their layout, and leave hooks for social features like follows and gifts.

Your own farm is always public at its wallet-based URL, so you can share your setup on social media.

Link a Solana wallet (Phantom recommended) to your account from the profile page. Once linked, your farm is associated with that address and any $HARVEST payouts are queued for that wallet.

• You can play without a wallet using email sign-in; link a wallet later when you're ready.
• Unlinking is safe — your account keeps its balances, only the on-chain association is cleared.
• Manual address entry is supported for advanced users who prefer not to trigger a wallet popup.

$HARVEST is a placeholder token until treasury is funded. Nothing here is financial advice.

Every day you get a set of daily quests — simple objectives like "harvest 10 crops" or "visit 3 farms" — that reward coins, XP and sometimes rare items.

Logging in on consecutive days builds a streak that unlocks escalating rewards. Miss a day and the streak resets, so keep it going.

You earn XP for almost every action: planting, harvesting, watering, visiting, selling, completing quests. Levels unlock content: better crops, more plots, new animals, cosmetic tiers. The level cap is 30 (site-wide via site_config.level_cap).

Once you hit the cap you can prestige — reset your progression in exchange for a permanent +10% yield multiplier per tier (hard-capped at ×3 on your farm) and a mint of ✨ gold equal to your new prestige level. Prestige also grants 3 prestige points per star, spent in the Prestige Tree — the Land & Estate lane is where permanent bonus plots are bought (up to the 5×20 cap) and lets you buy up to 3 land upgrades between prestiges. Higher land tiers (T3/T4/T5) additionally require prestige ★1 / ★2 / ★3 respectively — level 30 alone won't unlock them.

• 25 prestige tiers with unique animated emblems (★1–★25). Anything above ★25 reuses the ★25 badge with a +N overlay.
• Longer runs at higher tiers — every prestige adds +15% XP required per level (admin-tunable). At ★10 every level costs 2.5× its base XP; at ★25 it's 4.75×.
• Only crops & animals get the yield bonus — coin conversions, marketplace sales, gold-market trades, quest rewards and passive stations are not boosted by prestige.
• Plot math, in game — bonus plots = the sum of the land nodes you own in the Prestige Tree, capped by the 5×20 grid. The Plots page shows your current bonus tiles, which land nodes you’ve grown, and what the next one costs.
• What survives a prestige — perks and permanent bonus tiles stay. Level, XP, coins, active boosts, base grid and purchased land tiers reset.
• Coin sources breakdown — see the /prestige page for a full list of what prestige boosts and what it doesn't.

The game runs a dual-currency economy:

• Coins — soft currency earned in-game. Used for most shop purchases and everyday marketplace listings.
• $HARVEST — the hard currency. Earned through rare harvests, quests, prestige and marketplace trades. Intended to bridge on-chain once treasury is live.

Sinks (things that remove currency from circulation) include shop purchases, plot expansions, boosts, prestige costs, and cosmetic upgrades. Faucets (things that create currency) include harvests, quests, streaks and level-up rewards. The economy dashboard tracks these live.

For the current supply model, emission schedule and treasury policy, see the in-game Tokenomics panel.

/burn is where $HARVEST leaves the economy for good. Every purchase splits the same way: 80% burned, 20% to the treasury (events, prize pools, server costs). You see that split on the button before you confirm.

Scope: the Burn Hub applies to the classic farm only right now. Walkable World v3 is still in beta, so nothing sold here affects it.

• 🎨 Cosmetic mints — limited designs with a serial number, 9K to 90K $HARVEST. Sold out means gone.
• 🎫 Season pass — 45,000 $HARVEST per quarter, 8 cosmetic tiers earned by playing.
• 👑 VIP — 30K/30 days, 81K/90 days, 285K/year. Convenience only: order slots, bag space, Auto Farmer queue priority, a chore re-roll, market depth, half-price rush shipping, 18h boost cooldowns.
• 🧪 Burn boosts — Harvest Rush (+50% coins, 2h, 9K), Market Day (2× coins, 45m, 18K), Bumper Crop (+35% yield, 3h, 23K). One window per boost per 24h (18h for VIP). Same-type boosts never stack.
• 🌱 Prestige $HARVEST lane — five chained farm convenience nodes, 15K to 75K.

Prices were raised ~50% in the latest patch now that gold and coin conversion pay out real cash-out value — the sinks have to keep pace with what a farm can earn.

A live burn feed on the page shows every burn as it happens. It uses your farm name or an anonymous Farmer [HASH] alias — wallet addresses are never shown. The page also reads your real on-chain balance next to your in-game spendable balance; deposit if the on-chain number is larger and you want to spend it here.

The /apiary page is home to your passive-yield stations and your farm's pest defenses. It's the answer to "where do I go to protect my farm from swarms?"

STATIONS

• 🐝 Beehive — produces honey on a cooldown. Honey is used for buffs and breeding bonuses.
• 🍎 Fruit Tree — produces fruit on a cooldown. Fruit feeds animals and speeds up breeding.
• Upgrades — each station has multiple tiers. Higher tiers produce more per cycle.
• Production Dock — the live timer strip on your farm shows every station, progress bar, and a "Collect all" button. You'll also see a toast the moment a station is ready.

PEST SWARMS

• The server rolls once per day. There's a ~55% chance a swarm attacks — worst case around −45% yield on hit plots before defenses.
• An active swarm shows a red pest banner on the farm with the number of plots hit and % yield loss. Harvesting the affected plots clears the swarm.
• A 5% floor damage always applies on a hit — you can never be 100% immune.

DEFENDING YOUR FARM

• Open the Decor palette on your farm and place any of: 🎭 Scarecrow (+12%), 🐱 Farm Cat, 🦉 Owl, 🐉 Dragon (highest tier).
• Defenses stack up to a 95% cap. The pest banner shows your current % and the worst-case damage the next swarm would deal.
• The banner's 🛡️ Protect farm → button takes you straight to the apiary/defense page. When a swarm is active, it turns red and pulses.

Processing buildings convert raw crops into higher-value goods you can eat, feed, or sell. The full recipe hub lives at /recipeswith filter tabs, input/output diagrams, timers, and one-click Start batch.

• 🌾 Mill — grinds grain into flour and similar staples.
• 🍞 Bakery — turns flour and eggs into bread, pastries, and pies.
• 🧀 Creamery — churns crops into cheese wheels.
• 🥛 Dairy Barn (Lv 8) — milks the herd on a bed of wheat + carrots into Fresh Milk (🪙 1,800). 40 min per batch.
• 🥩 Butcher Shop (Lv 14) — butchers corn-fed cows into Mullet Beef (🪙 9,500). 2h per batch.
• 🟫 Tannery (Lv 12) — cures Cowhide (🪙 6,200) using potato tannins and wheat straw. 1h 30m per batch.
• Specialty — jams, maple syrup, fruit pies, and other seasonal recipes.

Each recipe has a set input cost, an output stack, and a crafting timer. Slots fill server-side so you can close the tab and come back to finished goods. All three ranch buildings start with 1 slot and gain +1 slot per prestige (up to 4).

The /barn is where you manage animals, pens, and rare offspring.

• Pens — every unlocked animal gets a pen. Fill it with animals harvested from your farm.
• Breeding — with 2+ animals in a pen, start a breeding job. Uses feed (or a recipe feed) and time.
• Rarity — offspring can hatch Silver, Gold, or Prism — each grants boosted yield and XP on the farm.
• Breeders Shelf — hatched offspring wait on a shelf until you plant them on an empty plot or discard them.
• Pen slots — buy more slots per pen to scale up production.

The client is a view; the server is the authority. Every state change — planting, harvesting, buying, listing, transferring — is validated on the backend against your real inventory and balances. Row-level security policies scope every read and write to the owning account.

• Marketplace purchases are idempotent — one order completes once.
• Inventory transfers are atomic — an item cannot be in two bags at the same time.
• Balances are server-computed — the client cannot mint coins or $HARVEST.

• Guilds & co-op farms
• Seasonal events with limited-time crops and cosmetics
• Pets that follow you around the farm and grant passive bonuses
• On-chain $HARVEST bridge once treasury is funded
• Mobile-optimized UI

The game has four currencies. Two live inside the site, two are real on-chain balances. Knowing which is which is important — you can spend Game Wallet $HARVEST in the marketplace instantly, but you can't spend your wallet's $HARVEST directly without going through Buy or Deposit first.

The tokenomics panel and the on-chain economy section show live SPL balances for the project wallets (Trees, Treasury, Dev). Every address links out to Solscan so you can verify the reserve yourself.
