a pet fed
by $GME
A virtual pet on Robinhood Chain. Every trade pays a fee in tokenized GameStop, half of it goes in the nest forever, and the bird grows up as the nest fills. This page is the lock: what the bird looks like, why, and the files that prove it.
One bird, one screen, one palette. Everything Nest Egg ships, from the game screen to a Telegram sticker to a link preview, is the same scruffy robin rendered as chunky retro pixel art on the same pale mint. Chosen by Aydan and Caelan on 4 September 2026 from eight competing directions.

the bird
A scruffy pixel-art robin with wide-set googly eyes and a deadpan, slightly unhinged stare, wearing a dark green Robin Hood hood with one chartreuse feather, sitting in a twig nest. The eyes do all the work. Everything else is costume.

- Eyes: wide-set, big whites, tiny pupils, one slightly bigger than the other. Same in every state, including asleep.
- Expression: deadpan, unimpressed, faintly unhinged. Never cute-sad, never kawaii-happy.
- Body: plump and scruffy. Not a ball, not sleek. Tufts poke out of the hood.
- Hood: dark forest green with one big feather, feather always the chartreuse. This is the silhouette.
- Nest: part of the character. Only the Hungry state leaves it.
- Rendering: chunky clean pixels, thick dark outline, no anti-aliasing, no gradients.

seven stages
The pet needs to be old enough and fed enough to evolve. Each stage adds costume, never a different bird.
art/locked/. Picked by Aydan and Caelan on 5 Sep 2026. No generated image re-draws these.
| stage | costume | earliest (days) | shares in nest | unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Egg | speckled, one eye through the crack | launch | 0 | — |
| Hatchling | eggshell as a hat | 1 | 25 | feed, poop, nest counter, bot |
| Fledgling | scruffy, faint orange chest | 3 | 1,400 | leaderboard, cosmetics |
| Robin | full red chest, no hood | 7 | 2,100 | overfed / sick / sleep states |
| Hooded Robin | green hood + chartreuse feather | 21 | 3,000 | PLAY GAME (play-money) |
| GigaChad Robin | chest into pecs, chiselled jaw, furrowed brow | 45 | 3,700 | BOND opens |
| Elder Robin | drooping unibrow, sagging cheeks, liver spots, thin goatee. Eyes stay visible | 90 | 4,300 | BOND pays, voting |
share gates scale with the fee rate and get re-set once it is decided. a front-loaded clock (6h / 24h / 3d / 14d / 45d) is the open alternative.

colour
Two greens with two meanings. The dark hood is the outlaw. The chartreuse feather is the chain.
the feather green, and why it is this one
#A8E000 is the same chartreuse as the Fox Wif Hood feather, on purpose: the two projects are siblings. It sits right next to Robinhood's current brand green (#CCFF00) without being it. Never #00C805. That is Robinhood's legacy pre-2024 green and it reads wrong on the bird. We use the colour, never their name or logo.
Chartreuse goes on exactly two things: the feather, and the money (shares counter, progress fill, FEED / buy confirmations). Never the hood. Never a background. If everything is green, nothing is.

type + wordmark
Display is a real pixel font, set live in CSS, so the wordmark is always crisp and always the same. The AI-drawn wordmark on the logo sheet is direction, not the file.
Press Start 2P (display) · Space Mono (body). Both on Google Fonts.
5
logo system
Three marks. The egg with one eye is the app icon. The head is the avatar. The wordmark is for anywhere there is room.
which mark where
- Egg mark: app icon, favicon, Telegram group icon, anything square and small.
- Head mark: Twitter avatar, bot avatar, watermark on shared cards.
- Wordmark: site header, banners, OG image. Always set in Press Start 2P, chest red with an ink drop shadow.
- Flat versions: stickers on a dark background, merch, anywhere colour is not available.

states
The pet reacts to money in real time. Every state is a post.
Every other tier has the same seven states, each generated against that tier’s own locked crop, so the states are the same bird as the idle.

prompt recipe
How every sheet on this page was made, so the next one matches. Attach the reference image. Say match exactly. Use the frozen block. Never paraphrase the bird.
REFERENCE: attach hero-v3-chartreuse.png as an image reference. Use the reference image as the exact character and rendering style. Match it exactly: same round body, same big wide-set eyes with large whites and tiny pupils, same grey beak, same dark forest green hood, same chartreuse yellow-green feather (hex A8E000), same thick dark outline, same pixel density, same colours. Do not restyle, do not add detail, do not change proportions. [then the sheet: layout, panels, labels] Flat pale mint background, identical scale across all sprites, small plain pixel-font labels, no other text, no watermark, no logo, no frame border.
- Sheets, not single sprites. One image, one character, many poses. Consistency inside a sheet is near perfect; between sheets it depends entirely on the reference being attached.
- 16:9 for rows, 4:3 for grids, 1:1 for a single sprite, 21:9 for banners.
- The model pads grids. Ask for six, expect seven. Crop.
- Web app with Unlimited on is free and hits Nano Banana Pro. The API costs 2 credits and quietly runs Nano Banana 2. Use the web for finals.

launch kit
Composed from the locked tiles by
tools/launch_kit.py, never re-drawn. Re-run it after any art change and every asset updates. Post copy lives inlaunch/POSTS.md.test posts
Eight creatives at 1080×1080 with the post that goes with each. Order = rough posting order. Replace [link] at launch.
every buy feeds the bird. every sell makes it poop. half of every fee buys GME that never leaves the nest.
pngnest egg. robinhood chain. soon.
hatching soon on PONS.
png$NEST, paired with tokenized GME. no team allocation, no presale. the nest starts empty and the crowd fills it.
seven stages. egg to elder.
pngthe bird evolves when the nest crosses a share count. it never goes back. the nest is public, the bird is public, the poop is public.

how the nest works, one tweet:
png1. you trade $NEST
2. half the fee buys GME
3. the GME goes in a vault that only receives
4. the share count only goes up
5. the bird evolves on the count
that's it. that's the whole game.
someone just sold 4.1 GME worth and the bird pooped on stream.

THE NEST IS FULL.

pngthe nest is at 3,010. every buy is a seed. wen gigachad is up to you.
it never dies. it just gets old.
pngthe nest outlives everyone who fed it. shares in, never out. elder robin is the endgame and the endgame is forever.
