Four stages, one scale
Evolution
Every Wormi passes through four stages as its weight grows: Egg, Hatchling, Signal and Captain. Weight is what you lock plus twice what you burn, and the look updates onchain the moment it crosses a line.
4 stages
Growth record
Drawn to scale
Weight on a log scale from 100,000 to 20,000,000. Each step up needs about four to five times the weight of the last.
Tier 1 of 4
Egg
Weight from 100,000
A mint egg with lime spots and a glowing crack.
- Appears the moment you lock 100,000 WORMI or more
- Lime spots scattered across a soft mint shell
- A crack that glows from the inside
How to get here: lock 100,000 WORMI or more when you hatch.
Technically still inside the shell, and already collecting its share of every NVDA fee.
Hatchery note
Tier 2 of 4
Hatchling
Weight at 500,000
Out of the shell: the green blob with a dark screen face.
- The shell is gone, replaced by a squishy green body
- A dark screen face with two shiny eyes
- No antenna or feet yet, only a few shell crumbs nearby
How to get here: lock 500,000 when you hatch, or hatch with 100,000 and burn 200,000.
Blinks at charts all day. Has no idea what a candle is, and is thrilled about it.
Hatchery noteTier 3 of 4
Signal
Weight at 2,500,000
Grows one antenna and two tiny feet.
- A single antenna with a round lime tip
- Two tiny feet, so it finally stands up
- The same screen face, now a little more focused
How to get here: lock 2,500,000 when you hatch, or hatch with 100,000 and burn 1,200,000.
The antenna picks up nothing in particular, but it looks extremely serious while doing so.

Tier 4 of 4
Captain
Weight at 10,000,000
Bigger, with little arms and two yellow tipped antennae.
- A bigger body with a bright lime screen face
- Little arms, ready to salute
- Two antennae, each with a yellow tip
How to get here: lock 10,000,000 when you hatch, or hatch with 100,000 and burn 4,950,000.
Salutes every fee that lands in the vault. The final form, though weight keeps counting past it.

Burned WORMI counts twice toward weight. Try a number and see which stage your Wormi lands in.

The one rule to remember
Tiers change the look. Weight earns the NVDA.
A tier is a costume, not a multiplier. Every Wormi earns its weight's share of each creator fee that reaches the vault in NVDA, from the moment it hatches, pro rata across the … total weight of all Wormis alive. These two sit one weight apart and earn virtually the same, even though only one of them has an antenna.

| Tier 2 Hatchling | 2,499,999 | … |
| Tier 3 Signal | 2,500,000 | … |
