Step-by-Step: How To Mint Your First OG Goat NFT + Earn 50% Referral Commissions
A no-jargon walkthrough of the Alien Goats Invasion mint flow, the referral payout, and what actually happens onchain when a friend mints from your link.
Two things happen in this guide. You mint your first OG Goat NFT. Then you start earning 50% of the mint price every time someone uses your referral link. Four clicks, about two minutes, no code. If you already have Phantom and $AGI in your wallet, you can skip to "How to mint an OG Goat NFT in 4 clicks" and be done before this paragraph finishes loading.
The mint lives at the Shop. The link program lives at your referral hub. If you have not played AGI before, play a guest round first so you know what you are minting into — the mint is permanent, but the loop is what makes it worth holding. This piece walks the wallet flow, the mint itself, the burn mechanics, and the on-chain commission payout in detail.
Both wallets are first-class supported. Phantom is the default pick for new players — it ships an in-app SOL on-ramp and a clean message-signing UX. Install the browser extension or the mobile app from phantom.app (or solflare.com). Create a new wallet. Write the twelve-word seed phrase on paper. Anyone with that seed has the wallet, so do not screenshot it and do not paste it into a password manager you have not audited.
Solana fees are sub-cent, but you still need a sliver of SOL to sign transactions. 0.01 SOL is a comfortable buffer for a mint, a referral payout, and a couple of in-game actions. Fund the wallet from a centralized exchange withdrawal, a friend, or Phantom's in-app on-ramp.
The OG Goat mint is paid in $AGI. The most reliable path to acquire it is Jupiter (jup.ag) — it routes across Raydium, Orca, and the rest of the DEX layer for the best execution. Pump.fun also lists $AGI directly. Verify the token mint address against the Shop page before you swap; never trust a contract address pasted into a random Telegram or Discord channel.
Open the Shop. Tap "Connect Wallet." Phantom (or Solflare) opens a message-signing modal that reads "Sign in to Alien Goats Invasion." It is a signature, not a token approval. No tokens move at this step. If you see anything that looks like a transfer or a contract approval here, stop and check the URL — message signing is the only authentication AGI uses.
Approve the signature. The Shop now shows the OG Goat tiers, the $AGI price for each tier, and your wallet's current $AGI balance.
The mint card shows the current tier price in $AGI. The contract is the source of truth — the number on the card is read live from the chain, so it is always accurate. $AGI is the herd token: it is burned on every mint, which removes it from circulating supply permanently, and it is what the top-25 daily leaderboard pool pays out in. The same token you spend to mint comes back to you as a referral commission when someone mints from your link.

If your wallet shows zero $AGI, the mint card surfaces a Buy button that routes you to Jupiter for the swap.
Tap Mint. Phantom opens a transaction-signing modal. This one does move tokens — the modal shows the exact amount sent and the program address it is sent to. Review both. The "to" address should match the program address shown on the Shop card. The amount should match the tier price.
Approve. Solana settles in a couple of seconds. The Shop card updates with the mint signature (a clickable Solana Explorer link) and a confirmation that the OG Goat is in your wallet. The tokens you paid are burned in the same transaction. You can verify the burn on Solana Explorer — the supply of the token you paid in goes down by exactly the amount you spent.
Open the in-game My Goats inventory. Your new OG Goat is there. The NFT is a Metaplex-standard token in your connected wallet, which means it is also visible on any Solana marketplace (Magic Eden, Tensor) and transferable like any other SPL NFT.
The whole flow from Connect Wallet to OG Goat in inventory is usually under thirty seconds on a healthy RPC.
The NFT is a Metaplex token. Same standard as every major Solana NFT collection. Transferable. Sellable. Viewable in third-party wallets. Whatever happens to AGI as a project, the NFT in your wallet does not need AGI to keep working — it is yours, in the same way any other Metaplex NFT is yours.
Being a Metaplex-standard token means you can list the OG Goat on Magic Eden or Tensor the same day you mint it. The NFT metadata is on-chain and not hosted on a centralized server you have to trust. Custody is in your wallet and nowhere else — the game reads your wallet state at sign-in, but it never holds your NFT. If you transfer the NFT to a different wallet, the new wallet gets the holder perks when it signs in.
Every mint payment is burned. The tokens are sent to the burn address on the same transaction that mints the NFT. This is structurally different from a treasury sink (where the project keeps the tokens) — burned tokens are gone from circulating supply. You can verify it on Solana Explorer by checking the token's circulating supply before and after a mint.
The Shop card shows live collection stats: total supply, total burned, available tiers. The numbers update in real time as mints settle. There is no projected supply because the cap is hard-coded into the contract.
The first time you sign in at /game/suika with a wallet, AGI generates a referral code tied to that wallet. Your link is aliengoatsinvasion.com/r/<your-code>. The path redirect at /r/<your-code> lands the visitor on the game with the ?ref=<your-code> parameter already attached — they do not need to type anything for attribution to fire. The QR code, copy-to-clipboard button, and referral history live at your referral hub.
When a referred wallet mints, the mint transaction includes a transfer in the same Solana block to the referrer's wallet equal to 50% of the mint amount, denominated in $AGI. There is no quarterly accrual, no claim button, no off-chain spreadsheet. Worked example: friend opens /r/yourcode, friend mints an OG Goat tier priced at X $AGI on the live contract, the same transaction also moves X / 2 $AGI to your wallet. Same block. Same signature visible on Solana Explorer. The literal numbers depend on which tier they pick and what the contract is charging at mint time — the Shop shows the live price.
The 50% number is the literal mechanic. It is not a guarantee about dollar earnings. Your friends may mint nothing. Your friends may mint a lot. The program calculates the commission against actual mint payments, not against pledges or future activity.
When a referred wallet first connects, both wallets earn 1,000 points in the in-game leaderboard system. That bonus does not cost the referrer anything — it is awarded by the game state, not transferred from the referrer's balance.
Three completed referrals unlocks a milestone bonus. Specific reward details for the milestone can move with releases — check your referral hub for the live numbers.
How much does it cost to mint an OG Goat NFT?
Tier pricing is set on the mint contract and displayed at the Shop. We deliberately do not hard-code the number into this post; the contract is the source of truth and we would rather this page never lie to you than be a day fresher than the contract.
Do I need to write any code?
No. The four-click flow above is the entire process. There is no script to run, no command line, no API key.
What token does AGI use for mints and in-game purchases?
$AGI is the only payment token for OG Goat mints, Instant Launch (cooldown skip), and all in-game transactions. It is also the token the top-25 daily leaderboard pool pays out in and what 50% referral commissions are denominated in. Everything runs through $AGI.
When do I start earning referral commissions?
On the first mint payment from a referee. The 1,000-point sign-up bonus fires on wallet connect; the 50% commission fires on each mint transaction. Both are visible on-chain in the referee's transaction signature.
Where do my commissions land?
The wallet that owns the referral code. Commissions are sent to that wallet in the same block as the referee's mint. If you change wallets, the old code keeps paying the old wallet; the new wallet gets a new code.
Mint is the start of the loop, not the finish line.
Open /game/suika and run a session. The cooldown clock starts the moment you finish your first game, so the smart move is to start it now.
Pin your high score with your referral link.Today's leaderboard shows top players in $AGI — a screenshot of your run + your link is the highest-converting post you can make.
Mint, then share, then mint again. A higher tier means a bigger commission for the wallet that referred you and a bigger commission for you on every referee. The math is symmetrical.
Open the Shop, pick a tier, and mint your first OG Goat. Grab your link at /referrals. Send it to one person who you genuinely think will play. The herd grows by ones.
