🔥X:1 Burn-to-Mint (BtM)

This is a simple infograph/walkthrough on how X:1 Burn-to-Mint works.

What is X:1 Burn-to-Mint?

In short, BtM is a process by which people send in NFTs to destroy/burn and, in return, get a newly minted NFT.

• A person can choose 1 to 6 Baby Hoots to burn and mint a new Baby Hoot.

• If a person burns 2 or more Baby Hoots in one round, they can choose to keep (and transfer) 1 trait from each of the Baby Hoots being burned to the newly minted Baby Hoot.

• If a person burns 1 Baby Hoot in one round, the trait they chose to keep will NOT be transferred to the newly minted Baby Hoot. Essentially, the person gets a fully randomized Baby Hoot.

Requirements

To use the X:1 BtM, a person must have at least 1 Baby Hoot NFT, Hoot Tokens, and ALGOs.

The more Baby Hoots burned in one mint, the lower the required amount of Hoot Tokens and ALGOs; i.e., 6:1 BtM has a lower cost than a 1:1 BtM. Refer to the table below:

X:1 BtM*	Traits Transferred**	Hoot Tokens	ALGOs
1:1 BtM	None	100	18
2:1 BtM	2 Traits	98	16
3:1 BtM	3	94	14
4:1 BtM	4	88	12
5:1 BtM	5	80	10
6:1 BtM	6	70	8

* The "X" in X:1 BtM stands for the number of Baby Hoots burned for 1 newly minted Baby Hoot.

** Only 1 trait can be selected from each Baby Hoot in an X:1 BtM.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Burn Score?

The Burn Score is a new Trait that is only present in Baby Hoots that are minted from the burning of other baby Hoots. The Burn Score can be as low as 1 (from 1:1 BtM) and as high as 6 (from 6:1 BtM).

The Burn Score Trait is visible on the image itself as well as in the metadata of the NFT. As such, the Burn Score does affect the “ranking” or “rarity” of Baby Hoots that have the trait.

As more and more Baby Hoots are minted from the Burn Score, the shifts in the “ranking” or “rarity” of Baby Hoots will be less and less evident.

If I burn a Baby Hoot with a Burn Score, does that affect the new Baby Hoot's Burn Score?

No. The Burn Score is solely dependent on how many Baby Hoots were burned to mint the new Baby Hoot.
