# Terraform Seeds

Only L3 Habitats are capable of generating Terraform Seeds. Each L3 Habitat will spawn 6 Terraform Seeds in its possession, one of each Grade listed in the table below. These seeds are ungenerated assets until the Habitat-holder claims them, using the corresponding "Claim" action. The Claim action will cause all 6 seeds to be minted and transferred into the player's possession.

Habitat-holder will only need to Claim once to acquire all 6 Terraform Seeds in their inventory. Whether a Habitat has claimed or unclaimed seeds will be marked by a binary flag in its metadata.

### Use in Habitat minting ("Terraforming")

Terraform Seeds are essential components to creating new Habitats. In addition, Habitat minting also requires 3 Refined Crystals of the same elemental type, 5 GENE, and a variable amount of KI. The amount of KI required for a given mint is dictated by the Grade of the Terraform Seed being used.&#x20;

As tokenized assets, Terraform seeds can be traded between players on marketplaces.&#x20;

Existing Terraform seeds on marketplaces minted from the Genesis Genopet Fair Launch are Grade 3. Future Terraform seeds spawned by Habitats will have their grade displayed in their meta data.
