How it works

Six things happen in a burrow

  1. Dig

    Every tap moves dirt. Extra Paws, Forager Kats, Tunnel Diggers and Beetle Farms keep the burrow working while you're away. Come back to a bigger pile.

  2. Build the Rail

    Chain Abstraction, the Solver Network, the Intents Router, the OmniBridge Terminal. Each one changes the room and each one unlocks a Kat-dex card. The order you build in is the order the real ecosystem works in.

  3. Watch the sky

    A hawk circles every so often. Tap it fast to scare it off, or lose a bite of whatever you left exposed. Build the Shielded Vault and the hawk goes home hungry.

  4. Catch the rain

    When real $NEARKAT payouts land for holders, it rains NEAR in the game. A few times a day, for ten minutes. Turn on notifications and the mob will call you when a storm is coming.

  5. Wen lambo

    Fill the burrow, hit the mark, and trade it all for a lambo in the window and +25% forever. Pick a Garage perk and dig the second run your way.

  6. Join a mob

    Up to twenty kats. Every member digs a little faster, and when five of you catch the same rain, it pays half again. Leaderboards, seasons, flex cards. No chat, no drama.

The tree

Three branches. One order.

You can't shield the stash until you've built the rail, because NEAR is how you get to ZEC. The tree is the map.

Rain

It rains when the real thing pays out

$NEARKAT holders get paid in NEAR automatically, many times an hour. The game rolls those payouts into a few rain windows a day. Big ones are storms, and storms send a push: "412 NEAR just landed for holders. Get in here."

Catch the drops for minutes of your own income. Miss one and the Solver Network catches it for you. Quiet day on-chain? The sentries share their stash.

Hawks & the Shield

Privacy, taught by a hawk

Everything you dig lands exposed until you build the Shielded Vault. Hawks only ever take from the exposed pile, and the game shows the shielded half sitting there untouched. You learn what a shielded pool is by owning one.

About 30% of all ZEC lives in the shielded pool. Smart kats, smart coins. Build the Quantum Burrow and the hawk never lands again.

The Kat-dex

Twenty cards, every one a real fact

Each upgrade mints a card. Collect the set for a permanent bonus, and share any card straight from the game.

Straight answers

Before you ask

Is the NEAR in the game real?
No. In-game NEAR is a fictional game currency. Nothing is paid out, nothing is promised, and the app never shows a real balance.
Do I connect a wallet?
Never. No wallet connect, no signatures, no approvals. Later you can paste a public address for a holder badge, and that's it.
Is this official?
Yes. The official $NEARKAT game. Not affiliated with NEAR or StonkFun.
When can I play?
iPhone first, TestFlight before the App Store. Leave your Apple ID email and the invite comes to you; @NearKatSol posts every build.
Ads? In-app purchases?
None. Free, and nothing to buy.
