# Evolution Mechanics

If you inspect each NFT tier, you will see custom descriptions that will give HINTS as to what is required to evolve to the next tier. As NQ is also a RACE in a way, because the higher tier NFTs will have a lower supply. So it will literally PAY to keep up on NestQuest as new Tiers are released. 

### How to Evolve

**Tier 1 > Tier 2** - To hatch The Egg, you must incubate it for 30 days on the NestQuest Board Game. 

**Tier 2 > Tier 3** - To evolve The Hatchling, you must stake >25 GOFX tokens on the GOFX Staking pool.

**Tier 3 > Tier 4** - To evolve The Gosling, you must successfully acquire "The Orb" from the NestQuest Chest Guessing Game, and evolve it on the Altar of Migration. 

**Tier 4 > Tier 5** - Coming Soon!

Tier 5 > Tier 6 - Coming Soon!
