Merging Squeeks

How merging turns two same-level Squeeks into one a level higher, in your wallet or while deposited in Staking, and what gates and cooldowns apply.

TL;DR

  • A merge turns two Squeeks of the same level into one Squeek a level higher. You choose the survivor; the other is burned permanently.
  • Merge Squeeks in your wallet or while they're deposited. A deposited merge changes your power immediately; a wallet merge counts after you deposit the survivor.
  • Merges work only while the admin has them open and both Squeeks are past their cooldowns. Level 1 has no cooldown.

What do you keep, and what do you lose?

You choose the survivor, which keeps its token ID and visuals and rises one level. The other Squeek, the donor, is permanently burned. Your claimable rewards stay in Staking; a merge moves no $SQK.

Before you merge

Both Squeeks must:

  • be held the same way: both in your wallet, or both deposited in Staking by you;
  • be at the same level, below the highest level;
  • be past their merge cooldowns. Level 1 Squeeks have none.

Merging must also be open; the admin opens or closes it for the whole collection. Only the owner of both Squeeks—or their depositor when both are deposited—can merge them; approvals don't count.

In your wallet or while deposited?

A wallet merge leaves the survivor in your wallet at its new level. Its higher power counts after you deposit it.

A deposited merge leaves the survivor deposited. If Staking intake is paused, withdraw both and merge them in your wallet instead. The Build owner actions guide lists the exact calls.

What does a merge do to your power?

A deposited merge changes your power immediately, without changing rewards you've already earned. That has two effects:

  • Squeek power rises, because the survivor has 10% more power than the pair it replaces.
  • $SQK power rises too, because your higher Squeek power boosts your staked $SQK more.

For example, with the Sepolia testing values on the Developers overview, say you have two deposited Level 3 Squeeks (9,680 power together) and 1,000 $SQK staked, for 9,947 power. Merging them into one Level 4 Squeek lifts your Squeek power to 10,648 and your $SQK power from 267 to about 291, so your power becomes about 10,939.

A wallet merge changes only the Squeek's level, and the higher base power counts once you deposit it.

When can the survivor merge again?

After its new level's cooldown has passed. A Squeek at the highest level can't merge again.

What if the transaction fails?

A reverted merge leaves both Squeeks and your power unchanged, but it can still cost a network fee.
