The golden nuts have cracked. The canopy rustles with purpose.

From the high branches of Gaia, the Squirrel King has spoken.

“Act with purpose. Earn with pride. Rise through the stages”

And so begin Quests and Stages: a new era of action, recognition, and adventure.

Weekly Quests: The Forest’s Call to Action

Each week, a new Quest emerges — tasked by the Squirrel King and packed with rewards.

“In every quest lies effort. In every effort, a reward worth chasing.”

These aren’t passive tasks. They’re on-chain adventures, designed to reward those who show up early, act fast, and stay engaged.

How Quests Work:

  • New Quests drop weekly
  • Quest slots are limited — Only a set number of squirrels can complete each one and claim rewards
  • Real rewards await:
    • Quest Points (used to unlock Stages)
    • Nuts (to stack your stash)
    • Buffs (temporary Nuts multipliers)
    • Badges (rare marks of honor)

Quests vary in difficulty, some light, some strategic, some seasonal — but all are capped. When the limit is reached, the quest seals shut until the next week.

As the season unfolds, quests may lead you into partner protocols, liquidity pools, or deeper corners of the forest. Each path offers its own reward and way to grow.

Note:

  • Quests must be completed in one on-chain transaction.
  • Buffs activate the week after quest completion
  • Each user can only do each quest once
  • Weekly Quests refresh every Monday, 0200 UTC

Stages of the Tree: Rise and Be Recognized

Every Nut tells a story. Every Buff marks a believer. 

But only the most committed squirrels climb the Stages of the Tree.

“Only those who climb will ever see the canopy.“

The Stage system is your personal journey — visible on your profile, a symbol of effort, consistency and growth.

It’s more than status. It’s how the forest remembers.

And with each new Stage, the forest rewards your climb — with Forest Buffs, Nuts, and an exclusive Badge awaiting you at the final stage, marking your progress and powering your path forward.

How Progression Works:

  • You begin at Seed (Stage 0)
  • Progression is sequential — no skipping ahead
  • To progress, you must fulfill all requirements of the next Stage
  • Each Stage grants rewards:
    • Forest Buffs to boost Nuts stacking
    • Nuts to grow your stash
    • One exclusive badge at the final Stage  — Eden

Note: 

  • Forest Buffs do not stack, you only receive the Buff from your current highest unlocked Stage.
  • Advancing to the next Stage does not consume your Quest Points, Nuts, or badges — your progress stays with you.

Each Stage is a branch higher in the Tree of Gaia — and those who reach Eden carry the forest’s highest honor.
