Generation 1 pigeons are the original pigeons created by the VPR platform. They form the starting population of the ecosystem and the genetic foundation for all future pigeons.

The total supply of Generation 1 pigeons is permanently limited to 60,000.

No. Once the initial Generation 1 supply has been created, no additional Generation 1 pigeons can ever be minted later. This supply limit is part of the design of the game and is enforced through the NFT contract on the blockchain.

Because of this, Generation 1 pigeons remain the original base population of the ecosystem.

The limit of 60,000 Generation 1 pigeons is an intentional part of the game's design.

Instead of continuously creating new base pigeons, VPR begins with a fixed founding population. This creates a clear and transparent ecosystem where every pigeon can be traced back to an identifiable origin.

This idea is similar to real-world pigeon racing, where breeders often start with a small group of foundation birds. Over time, new generations are developed through breeding, and strong bloodlines emerge based on performance and genetics.

In VPR, this design helps establish:

Over time, players can develop valuable pigeons through racing performance, breeding success, rare genetics, or historical achievements.

While Generation 1 pigeons are fixed, the ecosystem itself can continue to grow.

New pigeons are created through breeding, where players pair two existing pigeons to produce offspring. These offspring become Generation 2 and later generations.

This means the ecosystem expands through player activity and strategy, rather than through the platform creating unlimited new pigeons.
