The Game:
Marmots.io is an online browser game in which you compete with other players for the opportunity to collect $MIO tokens. Therefore, Marmots.io allows you to keep a sense of progress and value that you can control and compare, unlike other .io games which forget your progress after you finished. We are developing a relaxing and entertaining game and want to support the adoption of Chia.

Minting $MIO & More
June 20, 2022
We have finally created the real $MIO which will be put into use on the day of launch and will replace $MIOt which was a trusty test companion for us with far over 1000 transactions. If you want to get your hands on a $MIOt feel free to shoot us a message. However, it is not intended to have any purpose, its sole reason for existence after launch day will be for remembrance of the hard work we put in.

THE CURRENCY
$MIO is the token that can be earned and spent while playing Marmots.io. There is a limited amount of $MIO in existence that has been distributed in-game over the past years. It is running on the Chia blockchain as a "Chia Asset Token" (CAT).
The initial distribution is now complete, so the $MIO you spend on game assets, skins and features is recollected and redistributed to players in-game — a self-sustaining cycle.
$MIO can be traded or kept in your wallet like other tokens.
$MIO LIFE CYCLE
At launch the total amount of 21 Million coins will be split into two parts. >95% of the coins will only be accessible to the players through in-game earnings. Due to the native halvings, the earnable coin amount is higher at the beginning and decreases as time progresses. The remaining <5% of coins are going to us developers in order to help stabilise and grow the community as well as have an incentive to build the best .io game out there.
The initial distribution is complete, so the $MIO spent on shop items is now recollected and redistributed in-game for players to earn once again.
$MIO DYNAMICS
The Coins you have earned while playing are transferred directly into your wallet where you can do whatever you want with them. You can trade them on the open market for other coins or even $USD, you can give them to friends or keep them to yourself forever. You can also spend them in the in-game store on limited, on-chain skins and cosmetics that you truly own — equip them in-game, trade them, or just show them off. Gone are the .io games where you play and don't get something in return.
