$EGG is the central token in the Chikn ecosystem, with a range of utilities within the game. It was the first fungible token launched by Chikn and is produced by roosted (staked) chikn NFTs.

There is no hard cap on $EGG. <mark style="color:red;">**chikn will always lay $EGG.**</mark>

$EGG is needed to:

* Grow Roostr KG and produce $FERT
* Add liquidity for LP Farming
* Increase FarmLand Bigness
* Dig in your WormFarm
* Initiate a forage
* Use the Chikn Name Service (CNS) and Roost Name Service (RNS)
* Participate in gamified NFT launches through Eggnite

$EGG starts with roosting a chikn. Biggr chikn lay more $EGG than smol chikn. Assuming all chikn reach a hefty size of 45 KG each, there is a hypothetical maximum emission rate of around 120,000 $EGG per day.

When chikn lay $EGG, the tokens accumulate in the player’s roost. The player can choose to claim the $EGG at any time and transfer them to their wallet.
