Eggciting news for all Kryptomon breeders out there! The Kryptomon Breeding System has just undergone an update, and we are here to give you all the details!
The changes are designed to improve the experience of breeders of all Kryptomons and deliver some long-standing changes to bring breeding in line with the original intended design.
Class-Based Cost Structures
The baseline cost for breeding will now be determined by the Kryptomons class to help improve the supply of Kryptomon at all strength and market levels.
The class of the Kryptomon will use the existing classes defined in the TrainerHub - Elite, Veteran, and Rookie. The fee structure for breeding Kryptomons will remain the same, with each breed costing 10% more per breed. However, this time it's based on the base fee for that parent:
Updated Mutation Rates
The table above outlines the updates to the overall mutation rate based on the lowest generation in the breeding pair. We have slightly increased the mutation rate for higher generations compared to the previous breeding mutation rates.
Improvements for Low Generation Breeding
The minimum positive mutation has moved to a scaled approach vs. a flat amount across all generations previously. The original design on breeding was meant to create significantly higher value in breeding lower generation Kryptomons but that turned out to not be the case in practice.
Lower generation Kryptomon now have higher minimum mutation points which when coupled with their lower overall mutation rate will give them much more predictable offspring.
For example, previously a Generation 0 Kryptomon would only have had 5 pts potential upside and 0% negative mutation - in the new model, the Generation 0 will now have 11 pts of upside and still 0% negative mutation. To determine the positive mutation you now take the greater of the value in the table and the higher parent's gene multiplied by the mutation rate.
We are continuously trying to improve and balance all the various aspects of the game and we hope that these changes will continue to improve our players' experiences and create new markets for Kryptomon that previously didn’t exist.
So, if you're a Kryptomon breeder, join us in fostering a balanced breeding economy and get ready to take advantage of this new system! The stage is set, and the opportunities are limitless. We can't wait to see what amazing new creatures you come up with!

We're excited to share some significant updates regarding the mechanics of synthetic Kryptomons and our ongoing mission to bring more players to the game.
Hello Trainers!
We have some fantastic news to share with you today! We've been working hard to improve the KMON Genesis experience, and we're thrilled to announce an exciting update that will expand our player base and create a more smooth and inclusive environment for everyone.
We noticed that some free-to-play players faced challenges with freezing Kryptomons, which often led to them leaving the game altogether. To address this issue, we've decided to revamp the mechanics related to Synthetic Kryptomons!
Starting today, Synthetic Kryptomons will no longer freeze, making them the perfect learning tool for new trainers who want to explore the thrilling world of KMON Genesis! This change is designed to help newcomers navigate the game more smoothly and spark their interest in our vibrant community.
Please bear in mind that this update solely affects Synthetic Kryptomons, not the real-deal NFT Kryptomons, but rest assured, we're always open to evaluating and implementing future improvements. We're committed to making sure the KMON experience is as enjoyable and rewarding as possible!
So, let's continue to expand our player base and ensure our incredible KMON community keeps growing and thriving! Thanks for being part of this exciting journey, and stay tuned for more updates in the future!
FAQ
Are Synthetic Kryptomons still able to collect boxes daily if they drop to 0?
Yes, they do. But we will monitor the mechanics very closely.
Do Synthetic Kryptomons freeze for players that have NFTs as well?
No, they are treated the same.
Can you still train Synthetic Kryptomons when the care scales are at 0?
No. All scales need to be at a minimum of 30.
I hope this message finds you in high spirits! It's been quite a while since my last blog post, and I must admit, I've missed our chats.
Hello there,
I hope this message finds you in high spirits! It's been quite a while since my last blog post, and I must admit, I've missed our chats.
Life, as you all know, can sometimes move at a rapid pace, and for us here, it's been no exception. When the bear markets started affecting our operations, we found ourselves in somewhat choppy waters. On top of this, our team grew exponentially from a small group of 10 to a whopping 40 members in just half a year, all during these challenging times. Picture being in the middle of an ocean during a turbulent storm, with a ship and crew that are still finding their sea legs - quite an adventure, right?
This dynamic period called for a lot of internal focus, fine-tuning our processes, strengthening the crew, and making our 'ship' more resilient. This shift, while necessary, meant I was less present outside of the company. In retrospect, the decision still feels right, although, like in any transition, a few things might have been missed on the outside due to our inward focus. Nevertheless, I'm proud of our Leadership Team and the work they've done, and I'm certain with more of my presence, we can strive to do even better!
I do miss the days when I was able to constantly update you on our progress, directly engage in chats, and conduct AMA sessions on Discord. There's something quite unique about our interactions that I hold dear.
But why am I penning down this letter? It might seem like I'm saying goodbye, but that's far from the truth! In fact, it's the complete opposite - I'm excited to tell you that I'll be back in the thick of it. This project is OUR project, and your faith in me is something I cherish deeply. I'm here for you, and I won't let you down.
Your trust and enthusiasm, especially in our rough patches (yes, we agree those cosmetics weren't our best move), make me more determined. I feel your eagerness when you ask about our marketing strategies or the latest on the KMON front, and I promise to address these issues more effectively.
From now on, expect to see more of me. I'm eager to improve on everything we've worked on and fix what's not working. Speaking of which, there's an issue I'd like to tackle head-on: the black market for bound or in game items (e.g. armor scraps and star tickets). We never intended for this kind of item to be sold because they are crucial for encouraging everyone to contribute to the KMON economy. When these are bought from someone else, it not only risks the asset but affects everyone in the community, including the buyer.
So, we're taking action. Starting now, any posts attempting to sell bound or in game items (e.g. armor scraps and star tickets) will be removed, and repeat offenders risk being banned from the community. To further facilitate redistribution, beginning from Wednesday the 28th, we'll increase the marketplace fees from 3.65% to 5%. This aligns with the market standard and will help us rebalance our economy.
You might be thinking, "Umberto's return isn't as rosy as I imagined" - but trust me, these changes are for the benefit of our community.
Finally, I want to ask - what do you miss the most? I'm keen to re-establish that strong connection we once had. Would you prefer me to resume writing articles or host more AMAs? Let me know your thoughts.
Looking forward to catching up more often,
Umberto
