I Copper
$50+The starting cat. Polished copper, a lucky coin and a big smile.
Swap Felines are NFTs for people who swap on the NEKO site. You get one cat per wallet, and it upgrades from Copper all the way to Diamond as your total swap volume grows. They're live: claim yours on the swap page, and every swap you make keeps levelling it up.

Every swap made through the NEKO swap page is recorded on the NEAR blockchain, including the ones made before launch, and all of it is credited to the wallet that made them. Your cat starts at the tier your volume has already earned. Open the swap page, connect the wallet you swapped with and press Claim.
Enter a wallet to see the swap volume it has already banked, the tier it has reached and what the next tier needs. Staked Felines lower every target.
Counted the same way as when you claim: swaps made through the NEKO swap page and paid in NEAR, a stablecoin or NEKO, valued in US dollars on the day, fee included. Targets use the Felines staked right now, so unstaking raises them again. Stake Felines
Your tier depends on your total swap volume on the NEKO site, added up in US dollars. Each tier keeps everything from the tiers below it and adds something new, so you can see how far a cat has come just by looking at it.

The starting cat. Polished copper, a lucky coin and a big smile.

Antique bronze. Adds a lucky bell and cushion tassels.

Fluffier fur, an embroidered cushion and its first coin stack.

Solid gold, with sunglasses on and a chain round its neck.

Carved jade. Floating coins and rays of light appear.

Faceted ruby, with a royal cape and a second coin stack.

Volcanic glass. The glasses come off: glowing eyes, an aura and sparkles.

The top tier. Cut from pure crystal and crowned.
Use the swap page for any pair it offers, buying or selling. Every swap adds to your wallet's total.
Each swap is valued in US dollars at the time you make it and recorded against your wallet on the NEAR blockchain.
Connect the wallet you swapped with and press Claim under the swap button. Your cat starts at the highest tier your volume has reached, past swaps included. You pay only its small storage cost (about 0.01 NEAR; anything extra is refunded).
Your cat upgrades as you go. When you cross the next threshold, the same NFT moves up to the new tier and its new artwork.
Yes. Every swap made on the NEKO swap page includes the small site fee in the same approval, and that marks it on the blockchain as a NEKO-site swap. Those records are public and permanent, so each wallet's full history is added up when it claims.
Open the swap page, connect the wallet you swapped with and press Claim under the swap button. Your wallet asks you to approve one small transaction (0.02 NEAR attached for the NFT's storage; the unused part comes straight back).
Each swap is valued in US dollars using token prices at the time of the swap, and every swap your wallet makes is added together. Buys and sells count the same.
No. Only swaps made through the swap page on this site count, because those are the ones that support the NEKO community. The swaps still go through Rhea's pools, so you get the same liquidity either way.
Not until 28 December 2026. After that, yes: list it on a NEAR marketplace like any NFT (a 5% royalty goes to the NEKO community). A sold cat keeps the rank its swap volume earned (without the staked-Feline bonus) from the day it was sold, and the wallet that earned it can't claim a new one.
Yes. You keep the same NFT: press Upgrade on the swap page and its tier and artwork update. If you unstake Felines and your targets go back up, your cat can move down to the tier your volume supports, and back up when you stake again.
Start building your volume now, so your Swap Feline launches at the highest tier it can.
