Owning and upgrading · Chapter 04 / 11

Activating and upgrading Fuegos

You develop each Fuego individually. Ignition activates it for the relevant season, levels increase its permanent Vault weight, and Forge NFTs can add further benefits.

Activate your Vault with ignition

Ignite your Fuegos to activate their Vaults for the season. Each activated Fuego adds its own weight to your collection's share of funded $LIT distributions. Build up one or develop several: their eligible weights add together, and permanent levels stay with each NFT.

You don't have to trade or delegate to activate an eligible Fuego during the activation window. Ignition uses $FUEGO and must meet the relevant season and ownership conditions.

Increase its permanent level

Levels 1 through 4 have base Vault weights of 1, 2.5, 5 and 8. The level stays with the NFT. You can upgrade several Fuegos and combine their active weight rather than developing only one Vault.

Vault upgrades do not improve your tournament ROI rank or increase the weight of an NFT in T1's delegation formula.

Mint upgrade NFTs in the Forge

The Forge is where you mint released equipment, utilities and collectibles. Some equipment increases Vault weight; each recipe explains the item's effect, requirements, mint limit and availability.

HEAT is the activity score that unlocks eligible recipes. When you qualify, minting requires the recipe's $FUEGO payment and any ingredients. Your HEAT is checked, not spent. You keep it as you work toward other unlocks.

HEAT belongs to your wallet. Buying a Fuego does not buy the previous owner's HEAT.

Prices and release dates

Ignition, leveling and minting prices, plus specific Forge HEAT requirements, will be announced before those features open. Today's reward schedule does not promise access to a particular upgrade.

Any mandatory cost or condition for collecting earned $FUEGO must be disclosed before the participation cutoff. Those claim terms cannot be deferred with optional upgrade prices. HEAT has separate claim conditions, explained in the dates and claims chapter.
