NFTM is not a token. It is an internal mining counter (metric) tracked by the smart contract. In the interface, you see a progress bar and the expected NFTM amount. NFTM has no market value and cannot be traded or transferred — it exists only to be staked into Farming and converted to DA.
Activate Mining
Start mining on your eligible NFT. The cycle duration depends on your level — from 45 days (HYDRO) down to 40 days (INFINITY).
Generate NFTM
Your NFT generates NFTM over the cycle period. Levels 5–7 (HYDRO, QUANTUM, PULSE) have 1 mining cycle producing 10% of the NFT price in NFTM. Levels 8–10 (AURORA, FLAME, INFINITY) have 2 mining cycles — the first produces 10% and the second produces 15% of the NFT price in NFTM.
Claim Within 72 Hours
Once mining completes, you have exactly 72 hours to stake your NFTM into Farming. Miss this window and you restart from scratch.
DAO-Unlockable Second Cycle for L5–L7: Levels 5–7 currently have only one mining cycle (10%). A second cycle producing 15% can be activated in the future through a DAO governance vote, bringing them in line with Levels 8–10. This mechanism allows the mining system to evolve based on community decisions.
