Mnodes and the Mycelium

Version 3.0, October 2026

The collection, the Grove, rooting, the token record, rarity views and the community activities around Mnodes.

1. The collection

Mnodes is a collection of 4,444 tokens on Robinhood Chain. Each token has a number, original artwork and traits. Mycelium is the world around the collection: a place to explore its history, create Evolved artwork from owned Mnodes and take part in community activities.

An OG Mnode can later carry a holder-created Evolved Mnode. Rooting changes that token's current image and metadata but does not mint another token or erase its original history.

2. Holder access

A wallet holding an Mnode signs a free message to enter holder activities. The site checks ownership on Robinhood Chain. No email, password, private key or seed phrase is needed.

Public visitors can browse the collection, rarity rankings, token histories, Grove galleries, guides and results without signing in. Members are identified by Mnode number where an identity is needed.

3. The Grove

A holder chooses 2 to 12 Mnodes they own to inspire one Evolved Mnode artwork. These parent NFTs stay in their wallet unchanged. The artwork joins the Grove gallery, but only rooting it in a OG token that is not rooted yet enters the weekly Rooting Raffle. A wallet can create up to three creations per week.

Creating Evolved art does not mint or change an NFT. A holder may keep it as artwork or choose to root it later.

4. Rooting an Evolved Mnode

To root, a holder selects Evolved artwork they created and an OG Mnode that is not rooted yet they currently own, reads the permanent-change notice and signs a free wallet message. Only the chosen OG changes appearance; the Mnodes used as parents remain unchanged. The site checks the wallet, ownership and limits before recording the change.

The OG token keeps its number. Its current image and metadata become the Evolved form, while its original image and traits remain in the token history. One creation cannot be rooted twice. Rooting cannot be undone here. The collection holds at most 888 rooted Evolved Mnodes in total, and at least 333 OG Mnodes are always kept untouched, and each wallet has a limit of 10 rootings.

5. Three rarity views

Original Mycelium rarity compares the original traits of all 4,444 Mnodes. This historical rank does not change after rooting.

Live Mycelium rarity compares the current traits of all 4,444 tokens, including Evolved lineage and preserved origin traits when a token is rooted. OpenSea calculates a separate rank using its own method and refresh schedule. Neither a particular live position nor an OpenSea rank is guaranteed. The ranking and evolution guide explains these differences in detail.

6. What the token record shows

Each token history can show its original artwork and traits beside its current Evolved form, the rooting date and parent lineage. The site records rooting from a signed message; rooting is not a separate on-chain transfer.

Ownership transfers are independently visible on the Robinhood Chain explorer. OpenSea may take time to refresh the displayed metadata and rank.

7. Community games

The Grove draw and other holder contests have their own published rules, deadlines and results. Finished rounds remain visible while new rounds are played. Winners check their prize on the winners page and claim through an official Discord ticket using their winning wallet and Mnode number.

Prizes are sent manually. Participation and ranking in a game do not change the original rarity traits of a token.

8. Mnodes and Mkin

Mnodes are the collection that grants holder access and participates in the community treasury under its rules. Mkin are a distinct collection with launchpad access, but holding an Mkin alone does not grant a share of treasury proceeds.

No marketplace is required to pay creator earnings. Any proposed community share must be verified from supported on-chain or marketplace settings, and a setting alone is not proof that a payment happened.

9. Principles

  • Holder access is checked against real Mnode ownership.
  • Evolving and rooting are consecutive steps; only completed rooting enters the raffle.
  • Original traits and artwork remain visible in the token record after rooting.
  • Rankings are comparisons, not promises of value.
  • A wallet must approve any value-moving transaction itself.
  • Community prizes require a claim through Discord.

10. Limits and risk

NFTs can lose all value. Rankings, unique artwork, games and community participation do not promise a sale, a prize or a return. Wallets, marketplaces, networks and external links can fail or be malicious. Inspect every signature and transaction before approving it.

Rooting changes the current token metadata and cannot be undone here. A change in rarity score or displayed OpenSea rank is not a guarantee of future value.
