# Welcome to Pixotchi

Deep Dive into the Pixotchi Ecosystem!

## Introduction to Pixotchi

Pixotchi is an onchain farming and resource-management game built on **Base**, where players grow plants, manage land, earn rewards, and participate in a transparent, verifiable in-game economy. All core actions, from watering and feeding to upgrading land and claiming rewards, take place directly onchain.

Originally launched in early 2023, Pixotchi has since evolved into a fully integrated **Mini App** inside Base-compatible clients and a standalone web application, offering fast onboarding and a unified experience for both newcomers and advanced users.

Pixotchi is designed to demonstrate what onchain gaming can look like when ownership, incentives, and gameplay depth are aligned.

***

## Why Base?

Pixotchi is built on **Base**, a Layer 2 network incubated by Coinbase, chosen for its:

* Low transaction fees, enabling frequent onchain actions
* Fast confirmation times, suitable for active gameplay loops
* Ethereum-level security
* Growing cultural ecosystem and strong developer support
* Robust tooling, including Mini App support and AA-friendly infrastructure

Pixotchi doesn’t only run on Base — it is intentionally designed to complement Base’s ecosystem and demonstrate the potential of onchain mini apps.

***

## Onboarding and Wallets

Pixotchi supports multiple onboarding paths to accommodate users with different levels of crypto experience:

* **Privy embedded wallets** for seamless email or social login
* **External wallets** such as Coinbase Wallet and other EOAs
* **Account Abstraction features**, including gasless transactions via Paymasters
* **Mini App identity**, enabling fast access inside Base-compatible clients

This hybrid approach ensures that onboarding remains simple without sacrificing the benefits of self-custody and blockchain verification.

***

## What Makes Pixotchi Different

Pixotchi is built around a **fully onchain lifecycle and economy**, offering mechanics that are verifiable, permissionless, and designed for long-term sustainability.

Key features include:

#### Onchain resource economy

A multi-token system (SEED, LEAF, and soon PIXOTCHI Creator Coin) governs plant growth, land production, upgrades, and in-game rewards.

#### Real plant growth

Every core action — watering, feeding, extending lifetime, harvesting points — is recorded onchain. No centralized servers manage progression.

#### Land system and upgrades

Land plots generate production over time, can be upgraded, and provide strategic long-term advantages while being intentionally capped to prevent exploitation.

#### True ownership

Plants, land, resources, and progression are player-owned assets, not server-hosted game data.

#### Integrated social layer

Player profiles, identity, and cross-platform interactions allow the ecosystem to function as a social game, not just a resource engine.

***

## Transparency and Open Source

Pixotchi is fully open source. Contracts, mechanics, and configurations are publicly available and auditable.\
This ensures:

* No hidden mechanics
* No centralized balancing without visibility
* Long-term project integrity
* Trustless interactions for all players

Open development has been a core principle since day one.

***

## Constant Evolution

The Pixotchi ecosystem has undergone significant upgrades, including:

* Transition to a unified Mini App architecture
* Complete economic redesign to ensure sustainability
* Land production balancing and new building levels
* Integration of push notifications and background actions
* Social identity features powered by external protocols
* AI-assisted help inside the app
* Major backend and performance improvements

V2, currently in its planning phase, will introduce major new systems and gameplay concepts.

***

## The Project Philosophy

Pixotchi is not a hype-driven seasonal game. It is a long-term, independently built project focused on:

* Sustainable design
* Transparent systems
* Fair mechanics
* Onchain credibility
* Community-driven evolution

Players, contributors, and builders shape the direction of the game as it grows.

# Tokens


# SEED Token

A comprehensive guide to the $SEED token, its economics, and distribution model

### **Overview**

$SEED is the core currency of the Pixotchi ecosystem.\
It powers plant actions, upgrades, trades, marketplace interactions, and forms the foundation of the wider in-game economy.

$SEED has a **fixed total supply of 20,000,000 tokens**, all of which entered circulation at genesis.\
There were no private allocations, no team pre-mint, and no reserved supply. The token launched and distributed through an open BaseSwap pool, making it a **fully fair-launch asset**.

Pixotchi does not issue new $SEED, and no minting functions exist within the smart contracts.

***

### **Tax Structure**

All trades of $SEED are subject to a **5% transaction tax**, designed to stabilize the ecosystem and sustain ongoing development.

The tax is allocated as follows:

| Allocation | Purpose                                   |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **2%**     | Player rewards & onchain incentives       |
| **2%**     | Operating costs, development, maintenance |
| **1%**     | Automated liquidity provision             |

This model enables the token to fuel gameplay while keeping the system self-sustaining.

***

### **Launch & Distribution**

The initial liquidity pool was deployed on BaseSwap with the following properties:

* 100% of supply made available to the public
* A temporary buy-limit per wallet (\~$2.60 USD at launch) to ensure broad distribution
* Limit removed a few hours later, allowing free-market dynamics

The initial liquidity pool resulted in an approximate $2,600 market cap at launch.

**Team Allocation:**\
The Pixotchi team received **zero** pre-allocated tokens. All team-held SEED has been purchased from the market under the same conditions as any player.

***

### **Utility**

$SEED is required for:

* Minting plants
* Minting and upgrading land (when not using LEAF)
* Marketplace swaps (via Land buildings)
* Purchasing plant elements and boosters
* Participating in the in-game economy
* Receiving LEAF through staking
* Future V2 systems and cross-ecosystem mechanics

The token is deeply embedded into the gameplay loop and progression system.

***

### **Disclaimer**

Pixotchi and $SEED operate exclusively as an onchain game economy.

* Acquiring $SEED does **not** constitute an investment.
* No promises are made regarding value, market performance, or rewards.
* Token prices may fluctuate significantly due to market conditions.
* Participation may be subject to local regulatory restrictions.\
  Players should verify their own compliance responsibilities.

Pixotchi launched independently and transparently; interacting with $SEED is strictly optional and is not tied to ownership of the game itself.


# How to buy?

Note: Make sure you set the slippage 5-6% accordingly to cover for tax fees.

#### You can trade SEED token under these platforms <br>

* [In-game Swap](https://mini.pixotchi.tech/)

#### ***(DO NOT USE UNISWAP APP/POOLS)***


# LEAF Token

### **Overview**

**LEAF** is the secondary in-game resource of Pixotchi.\
It is generated exclusively by staking $SEED and is designed to act as a **utility token** for long-term progression.

LEAF does not have an external liquidity pool and is not intended for speculative trading.\
It functions solely inside the Pixotchi ecosystem.

***

### **Generation**

Players can earn LEAF by staking their SEED tokens. There is:

* **No lock-up period**
* **Real-time accrual of rewards**
* **Free claiming and unstaking at any time**

Current approximate emission rate:

**\~3.33 LEAF per SEED per day**\
(Rate may vary dynamically based on total staked SEED and reward pool distributions.)

***

### **Utility**

LEAF is primarily used for **land progression**, including:

* Upgrading buildings
* Unlocking higher-level production
* Future utility within new land buildings
* Potential hybrid mechanics introduced in V2

In addition, LEAF can be swapped for SEED inside the **Marketplace building** on owned land.\
This is an in-ecosystem conversion and does not affect external exchanges.

***

### **Access Points**

LEAF staking and management are available via:

* **Pixotchi Mini App / Full App**
* **Staking Dashboard** (web version)

Both interfaces connect directly to the staking contracts.

***

### **Design Philosophy**

The LEAF system introduces a strategic layer to gameplay:

* Stakers gain long-term progression benefits
* Heavy land owners require sustained LEAF supply
* Player growth pace becomes closely tied to resource management
* The economy avoids runaway mint-and-print behavior

LEAF exists to complement SEED rather than replace it, forming a two-token system optimized for a sustainable onchain game loop.


# PIXOTCHI Token

Creator Coin Launch Blueprint

## Disclaimer

This document describes the current design and intended role of the **$PIXOTCHI Creator Coin** within the Pixotchi ecosystem. Certain mechanics, parameters, or integrations may evolve over time as the product develops and market conditions change.

Pixotchi remains an actively evolving onchain game. As such, elements of the token economy, reward structures, and gameplay integrations described below may be refined in the future.

***

## Pixotchi in a Nutshell

Pixotchi is an **onchain Tamagotchi-style game** where your NFT begins as a pot and grows into a plant through care and attention.

Players water, fertilize, and nurture their plants to earn points, which translate directly into **Ethereum rewards funded by a 2% trading volume pool**.

The game expands far beyond the core plant mechanic through a broader ecosystem that includes:

* Land ownership
* Building upgrades
* Staking mechanics
* Arcade mini-games
* Quests
* Competitive leaderboards
* Strategic resource management

Players can stake **SEED tokens** to earn **LEAF**, a non-tradable ERC-20 token used to upgrade land buildings and unlock production capabilities.

The core gameplay loop revolves around **consistent plant care, strategic upgrades, and long-term participation**, rewarding players for dedication and engagement over time.

***

## Why $PIXOTCHI Exists

Pixotchi is fundamentally a **product-driven ecosystem**, not a speculative token project.

While creator coins were originally designed for influencers, Pixotchi adapts the model for **onchain gaming** by integrating the creator coin directly into the game economy.

The $PIXOTCHI token enables:

* New gameplay mechanics
* Expanded economic layers
* Additional reward structures
* Long-term funding for development

Rather than existing as a standalone token, **$PIXOTCHI operates alongside the existing SEED and LEAF system**, strengthening the overall ecosystem.

***

## Objectives of the Token

The introduction of $PIXOTCHI supports several long-term goals:

* Increase player engagement and visibility
* Strengthen the SEED-based game economy
* Introduce additional utility without inflating existing resources
* Create sustainable revenue streams for ongoing development
* Align Pixotchi with emerging onchain market trends while defining its own narrative

***

## Market Context

Several ecosystem factors influenced the decision to introduce a creator coin:

#### Liquidity Access

The **SEED token liquidity pool is primarily on BaseSwap**, limiting exposure to traders who primarily use larger DEXs such as Uniswap. A creator coin expands accessibility and trading activity.

#### No Team Allocation in SEED

The original SEED launch intentionally included **no team allocation**, which restricted the ability to fund certain incentives, liquidity programs, and player reward mechanisms.

The creator coin structure introduces **a controlled allocation that can be used to support ecosystem growth**.

#### Base Ecosystem Direction

The Base ecosystem has shown strong focus on **creator coins and social-driven tokens**. Integrating a creator coin allows Pixotchi to participate in that broader ecosystem while maintaining its gaming identity.

***

## Tokenomics

#### Total Supply

1,000,000,000 $PIXOTCHI\
Fixed supply.

#### Distribution

* **50% Public Supply**\
  Immediately tradable.
* **50% Creator Allocation (Pixotchi)**\
  Vested linearly over **5 years**.

#### Zora Fee Revenue

1% of all **$PIXOTCHI trading fees on Zora** are paid directly to Pixotchi in **$ZORA tokens**, starting from the first trade after launch.

These revenues are used to support ecosystem sustainability.

***

## Launch Overview

$PIXOTCHI launched through the **Zora Creator Coin framework**.

To mitigate bot activity and sniping at launch, the **exact launch timing was initially communicated in-game**, prioritizing the existing player base.

Following launch, the token was added to **Poet’s Public Cabal group**, increasing visibility and enabling revenue sharing within the cabal network.

This strategy helped:

* Reactivate interest around the Pixotchi ecosystem
* Introduce new users to the game
* Increase participation ahead of future airdrops and rewards

***

## Airdrop Program

### Initial Airdrop

An initial airdrop was distributed to existing Pixotchi players.

The eligibility criteria were determined internally and **not publicly disclosed** to prevent inorganic farming behavior.

### Ongoing Distribution

The **500M vested supply** provides a predictable distribution pool that can be used for future player rewards.

This allows Pixotchi to distribute tokens periodically through mechanisms such as:

* Gameplay rewards
* Seasonal events
* Competitive leaderboards
* Ecosystem incentives

Typical distribution ranges may fall within **1–2M $PIXOTCHI per month or quarter**, depending on ecosystem conditions.

***

## Utility of $PIXOTCHI

$PIXOTCHI complements the existing economy rather than replacing it.

* **SEED** → gameplay progression
* **LEAF** → building upgrades and production
* **PIXOTCHI** → ecosystem utility and advanced features

Several features are enabled or enhanced by holding or spending $PIXOTCHI.

#### Cosmetic Customization

Themes and other visual customization options.

#### Advanced Game Functions

Access to quality-of-life mechanics such as:

* Advanced dashboards
* Bulk transactions
* Automated management actions

These may require holding a certain amount of $PIXOTCHI.

#### Governance

Once the game reaches **100+ active players**, $PIXOTCHI may be used for governance voting through platforms such as **Snapshot**.

#### Exclusive Gameplay Content

Future features may include:

* New buildings
* New upgrade paths
* Additional land elements
* Advanced gameplay mechanics

These may require spending $PIXOTCHI tokens, which are **burned**, introducing deflationary pressure.

***

## Why $PIXOTCHI Demand Matters

Sustained demand for $PIXOTCHI enables several important mechanisms.

#### SEED Buybacks

Revenue generated from **Zora trading fees** can be used to perform **SEED token buybacks**.

This strengthens:

* The treasury
* Player reward pools
* The long-term stability of the ecosystem

Important:

**SEED buybacks are funded exclusively from Zora fee revenue and not from the creator allocation**, preventing inflationary pressure on $PIXOTCHI.

#### Expanded Reward Systems

$PIXOTCHI introduces a **liquid reward asset** that can be used in:

* Quests
* Arcade mini-games
* Leaderboard competitions
* Seasonal events

It may also eventually become a **reward for staking SEED**, alongside LEAF.

***

## The Pixotchi Token Trinity

The Pixotchi ecosystem operates through three interconnected tokens:

#### SEED

The primary **gameplay token**, used for staking and core economic flows.

#### LEAF

A **non-tradable utility token** used for upgrading buildings and enabling production.

#### PIXOTCHI

A **liquid ecosystem token** powering advanced features, governance, incentives, and economic expansion.

Together, these three tokens form a layered economic system designed to balance:

* Gameplay progression
* Resource production
* Liquid incentives
* Long-term ecosystem sustainability

***

## Long-Term Vision

Pixotchi aims to become one of the **first onchain games to meaningfully integrate creator coins into gameplay systems**, rather than treating them as purely social or speculative assets.

Because Pixotchi is **open source**, the utility of the token ecosystem can continue to exist even in the unlikely scenario that the core project ceases development.

By integrating **$PIXOTCHI alongside SEED and LEAF**, Pixotchi establishes a sustainable multi-token economy designed to:

* Reward players
* Drive long-term engagement
* Fund ongoing development
* Introduce a new model for creator coins within gaming

In this sense, $PIXOTCHI may be better understood not simply as a creator coin — but as an **ecosystem coin for onchain games**.

# Lands

### **Overview**

Pixotchi Lands expands the core plant-growing experience into a full onchain village simulation.\
Each Land is an NFT with its own coordinates and upgradeable infrastructure. Lands produce resources, generate progression, and introduce a long-term strategic layer to the ecosystem.

All Land data — ownership, building levels, coordinates, production — is stored onchain on Base.

***

### **Access**

Lands are accessible through:

* **Pixotchi App / Mini App**
* **Web App** at: `app.pixotchi.tech`

A Land NFT is required to participate but optional in terms of Plants journey.\
Some players received Lands via airdrop during earlier phases; others may mint depending on availability and current minting stage.

***

### **Supply**

* **Total Land Supply:** 20,000 NFTs
* Each Land features a unique **(x, y)** coordinate on a shared world map
* All Land properties are fully onchain and transferable

***

### **Land Structure**

Each Land consists of two functional zones:

#### **1. Resources View**

Buildings focused on automated production:

* **Soil Factory** — produces Plant Points (PTS)
* **Solar Farm** — produces Plant Points (PTS)
* **Bee Farm** — produces Time-of-Death (TOD) extensions

All three buildings:

* Start at Level 0
* Can be upgraded up to Level 3 (Solar Farm supports Level 4)
* Generate resources daily, based on level

#### **2. Village View**

Buildings supporting utility and progression:

* **Farmer House**
  * Unlocks quests and onchain task rewards
  * Upgradable to Level 3
* **Marketplace**
  * Allows SEED ⇄ LEAF swapping
  * Fixed at Level 1
* **Warehouse**
  * Stores resources (PTS, TOD, Rocks, etc.)
  * Pre-built at Level 1 (not upgradable)
* **Stakehouse**
  * Interface for staking SEED to earn LEAF
  * Pre-built at Level 1 (not upgradable)

***

### **Map System**

Every Land is assigned a permanent onchain coordinate.\
The world map is divided into four quadrants:

* (+,+)
* (+,−)
* (−,+)
* (−,−)

The center point (0,0) marks the origin of the map.

Within the Lands interface, players can:

* View their own position
* Explore neighbors
* Browse surrounding plots


# Leaderboard

### **Overview**

The leaderboard ranks players based on the total **PTS** accumulated by their active plant.\
Higher rankings correspond to higher shares of ETH rewards during distribution cycles.

***

### **Earning Points**

Players gain PTS through:

* Using elements
* Producing PTS from Soil Factory and Solar Farm
* Winning attacks
* Completing certain onchain interactions

PTS directly determines leaderboard placement.

***

### **Scout & Attack System**

Players may challenge gardens above them to steal points.

#### **Attack Rules**

* May target any plant ranked higher than your own
* One attack every 15 minutes
* A plant can only be attacked once per hour

#### **Outcomes**

* **40%** chance attacker succeeds
* **60%** chance defender holds
* Successful attacks reward **0.5% of the defender’s PTS**, added directly to your score

This creates a dynamic competitive environment without overwhelming newcomers.


# Arcade

### **Overview**

The Arcade is a bonus section offering casual games that reward players without requiring SEED or LEAF expenditures.

Stars — earned primarily by defeating other plants — are used to participate.

***

### **Luck Box**

A once-per-day pick-one reward box.

* Costs **1 Star** (or free once per day)
* Rewards may include PTS or TOD extensions
* Choices refresh every 24 hours

Luck Box offers predictable, low-cost progression boosts.

***

### **SpinLeaf**

A spinning-wheel game offering randomized outcomes.

* Costs **1 Star**
* Playable once every 6 hours
* Can award PTS or TOD extensions

SpinLeaf adds a lightweight layer of chance-based progression to the daily loop.


# Rewards  (P2E Model)

Understanding how ETH rewards work and how to claim them in Pixotchi

### **Overview**

Pixotchi’s ETH reward system is powered entirely by the game’s onchain activity.\
A portion of the taxes collected from **$SEED buy/sell transactions** funds the global reward pool.\
This ensures rewards remain transparent, decentralized, and directly tied to player engagement.

***

### **How Rewards Accumulate**

1. **The game contract receives ETH** from SEED trading activity.
2. **This ETH accumulates in the global rewards pool.**
3. **Each active plant receives a proportional share** of the pool based on its **Score**.
   * Score is primarily driven by Plant Points (PTS).
   * Higher PTS → higher share of rewards.

Reward shares are calculated continuously and stored onchain.

***

### **Claiming Rewards**

Rewards are claimable only when a plant’s lifecycle ends.

To claim:

1. Go to **Account → Rewards** in the Pixotchi App
2. Select the plant
3. **Burn** the plant to finalize and withdraw its accumulated ETH

Burning the plant resets the lifecycle but secures all rewards earned.

***

### **Key Principles**

* Rewards are algorithmic and onchain
* Distributed based on **relative performance**, not absolute PTS
* No human intervention in calculations
* Fully transparent: all distributions are verifiable via smart contract


# Staking

### **Overview**

Staking allows players to convert long-term commitment into productive in-game value. When you stake SEED, you earn **LEAF**, the primary resource used for Land upgrades and long-term village progression.

***

### **How It Works**

* **Stake SEED → Earn LEAF continuously**
* Rewards scale dynamically based on the total amount staked across all players
* Rewards accrue in real time and can be claimed anytime

There is **no lock-up period**, and unstaking is instant.

***

### **Where to Stake**

* **Pixotchi App / Mini App**
* **Staking Web Portal** (browser access)

Both options interact with the same onchain staking contract.

***

### **LEAF Utility**

LEAF is used for:

* Upgrading buildings
* Unlocking higher production tiers
* Scaling long-term Land efficiency

It is not tradable externally and exists solely within the Pixotchi ecosystem to support balanced, sustainable progression.


# Neural SEED

AI Assistant and Agent

### **Overview**

Neural Seed is Pixotchi’s integrated AI assistant designed to support players, improve accessibility, and streamline decision-making. It enhances the gameplay experience by offering real-time guidance throughout the ecosystem.

***

### **Capabilities**

Neural Seed can:

* Explain game mechanics, tokens, and contract behavior
* Provide personalized suggestions based on your plant or land state
* Help new players understand the game loop without external resources
* Assist with troubleshooting and navigation inside the app
* Interpret onchain data and summarize player-specific actions

The assistant’s responses continuously improve as the game and contracts evolve.

***

### **Design Principles**

* **Onchain Awareness:** Neural Seed references the live state of the ecosystem when applicable
* **Player Support First:** Guidance prioritizes clarity and practical steps
* **Consistent With Docs:** Always aligned with the official rules and mechanics
* **Lightweight and Embedded:** Accessible inside the app without requiring external tools


# Contracts

Contract addresses and information for the Pixotchi ecosystem

**Overview**

Pixotchi is powered by a set of modular, upgradeable, and independently verifiable smart contracts deployed on Base. Each component of the ecosystem ,tokens, plants, lands, and gameplay modules, operates onchain.\
All contracts are open-source, publicly accessible, transparent, and upgrade paths follow strict standards.

> **Note:** Some mechanics may evolve as part of ongoing updates and future versions of the protocol. Contract addresses themselves are final unless explicitly upgraded under their standards (e.g., EIP-2535).

* All values that affect players rewards (PTS, TOD, XP) are computed onchain.

# FAQ

Frequenly Asked Questions

### **1. What makes Pixotchi different from other blockchain games?**

Pixotchi combines an onchain gaming economy with a lightweight, mobile-first experience.\
Every action—plant growth, scoring, building upgrades, staking, XP, quests—writes to the blockchain.\
This creates a verifiable, persistent world where progression and ownership cannot be altered or faked.

### **2. How do I keep my plant alive and progressing?**

Use in-game Elements to increase:

* **Points (PTS)** for rewards
* **Time of Death (TOD)** for plant lifespan

Regular interaction keeps the plant competitive in the leaderboard reward cycle.

### **3. Do I need prior crypto knowledge to play?**

No.\
Pixotchi supports both **Privy smart accounts** and **native wallets**, allowing seamless onboarding whether you're new to crypto or already familiar with onchain apps.

### **4. What is the Plant Passport?**

The Plant Passport is the onchain identity that stores:

* Plant stats
* Lifecycle history
* Score
* Ownership

It ensures full verifiable ownership even if the plant dies or the app changes.

### **5. What is the Luck Box / Arcade?**

The Arcade contains optional mini-games that provide:

* Extra PTS
* TOD
* Unique bonuses (varies by event)

No tokens are required; they operate using Stars earned through gameplay.

### **6. Why is there a tax on $SEED?**

A 5% tax applies only on **buy/sell** transactions.\
It funds:

* Rewards pool (ETH distributed to players)
* Development
* Automated liquidity strengthening

Transfers between wallets and in-game actions are **not taxed**.

### **7. How often can I interact with other players’ plants?**

You can Scout & Attack every **15 minutes** a plant above you, as long as it hasn’t been scouted in the past hour.

Successful attacks:

* Earn **0.5%** of the target's points
* Improve your ranking
* Increase your reward share

### **8. Why climb the leaderboard?**

Leaderboard position determines your share of the **ETH rewards pool**.\
Higher rank → higher percentage of rewards at the time you burn your plant.

### **9. Can I play Pixotchi on iOS and Android?**

Yes.\
Pixotchi is a PWA and Mini App, installable on all modern devices.

### **10. How do I track and claim my rewards?**

Go to **Account → Rewards**.\
Rewards are claimable only when you **burn the plant**, which finalizes its lifecycle and outputs ETH.

### **11. I participated in the private beta; where are my OG plants?**

Your OG plants and passports remain in your wallet as NFTs.\
They are not displayed in V2 by default but will be re-activated during the migration phase.

### **12. How are ETH rewards distributed?**

Rewards accumulate from SEED trading tax and are distributed proportionally based on each plant’s score share.\
Rewards are not influenced by buybacks, LP movement, or manual intervention.

### **13. What is the burn rate and how does it affect gameplay?**

A portion of SEED spent in-game is burned.\
This gradually reduces circulating supply and increases scarcity.\
Remaining portions are recycled into events, quests, or reward initiatives depending on active game design.

### **14. Is Pixotchi a financial product?**

No.\
Pixotchi is a game.\
$SEED is not an investment contract, and the team makes no claims about price or appreciation.\
Players should comply with regional laws governing digital assets.
