Seven days of alien goats on Solana — how the leaderboard lit up, the mints started burning supply, and the referral engine began compounding from zero
Seven days. The alien goats landed on Solana, the leaderboard lit up, the mints started burning supply, and the referral engine began compounding. Wallets showed up. Rounds were played. Somebody hit King Goat. Somebody else sent their referral link everywhere and watched the commissions start landing. Here is what the first seven days of the invasion looked like.
Seven days of live gameplay on Solana. The full numbers live on-chain — every mint is a transaction, every burn is verifiable on Solana Explorer, every commission is visible in the same block as the referee's mint. The Shop page shows the live mint counter. The leaderboard updates in real time. This post is the Week 1 scoreboard snapshot. For today's live numbers, check and directly.
During Week 1, OG Goat NFTs exchanged hands in on-chain mints. Every mint burned its payment in $AGI in the same transaction. The circulating supply of the token went down with every click — no treasury sink, no project wallet, just tokens removed from existence. The burn is visible on Solana Explorer for every single mint.
Game sessions clocked in across the seven days. The highest single-session score broke past the mark that separates a good run from a leaderboard run. The top daily reward payout landed in the wallet of a player who showed up at the right time and dropped clean.
The foundation is set. Below is what these patterns actually mean for the herd.
OG Goats were minted in Week 1. Every single one burned its payment in $AGI in the same transaction — supply down, scarcity up, verifiable on Solana Explorer for every mint.
The mint cadence tells its own story. Day 1 was the curiosity wave — players who had been waiting for the drop and minted within hours. Day 3-4 were the referral-driven wave — players who joined from a friend's /r/<code> link and minted after their first session. Day 6-7 were the conviction mints — players who had been running sessions all week and decided the loop was worth the long-tail unlock.
The mint is not a one-time event. Players who mint a second goat — a higher tier, or a different token-denominated tier — get a bigger commission boost on their own referrals and a bigger weight on the daily leaderboard. The Week 2 mint curve will tell us whether the herd is accumulating or rotating. One week of data is not a trend. It is a starting line.
The top of the Week 1 leaderboard was defined by consistency, not single-session luck. The players who held top-25 slots across multiple days were the ones who ran their cooldown on schedule — one session every three hours, a 7-day streak bonus climbing from 100 to 500 points, and the discipline to skip a bad drop rather than force a merge that tilts the pile.
King Goat merges happened. Not many — King Goat is the top of a twelve-tier merge tree, requiring two Fat goats to touch in a pile that is already tilting. A single King Goat merge is worth 76 points — the same as seventy-six basic Alien Goat merges. The players who hit King Goat in Week 1 were not the players with the most sessions. They were the players with the cleanest drop timing. The hierarchy rewards efficiency, not volume.
The referral program went live with the game and started paying out from the first mint. All commissions land in the same Solana block as the referee's mint — no claim button, no quarterly accrual, no off-chain spreadsheet. There is just a /r/<code> link and a 50% split that fires on mint.
The top referrer of Week 1 brought in multiple people who minted. Most referrers brought in one or two. The gap between the top and the average is the entire story of the program: one player treated their link as a posting habit, and it compounded. Most players sent their link to one friend and got one mint. Both paths work. One path compounds faster.
The three playbooks that moved the most goats in Week 1 were the screenshot-plus-link (one game screenshot, one line of text, one /r/<code>), the DM ask (one friend, one sentence), and the leaderboard reply (find a tweet, drop your score, drop your link). Our referral breakdown covers all three playbooks in detail.
The 50% number is the literal mechanic — it is what the contract pays on every referred mint. It is not a guarantee about dollar earnings, because your friends may mint nothing or they may mint a lot. The program pays against actual mint payments, not promises.
Twelve levels. Twelve goats. The top level — King Goat at 600,000 lifetime points — was not hit in Week 1. The math makes sense. A strong session earns somewhere between 1,500 and 4,000 points. A top-25 daily finish earns $AGI but does not directly add points to your level total. The 600K climb is measured in months, not days.
The players who pushed past the early levels fastest in Week 1 were the ones running sessions on cooldown across multiple days. Every session is another chunk of points climbing toward the next tier — Judge at 2,500, Flex at 6,000, Big Fat at 12,000. The mid-game levels are achievable on streak discipline alone. The late-game levels require months.
The level system is not a leaderboard. It is an identity. A level-4 Judge who posts a 3,500-point run is more impressive than a level-8 Doctor who posts 900 points and blames the drop timer. The merge tree does not care about your level badge. It cares about where you place the goat.
The leaderboard resets daily, same as Week 1. The mint contract is live. The referral program is live. The cooldown is still three hours. The streak bonus still climbs from 100 to 500 across seven days.
What changes in Week 2 is not the game. It is the herd. The players who joined in Week 1 now have a week of muscle memory on the drop timer. They know when to merge and when to let a goat sit. They have sent their first referral link and seen their first commission land on-chain. They are no longer new. They are the veterans, and the players joining in Week 2 are walking into a leaderboard where the top slots are held by people who have been playing for seven days longer than they have.
The invasion is not a launch event. It is a compounding loop. Week 1 was the proof. Week 2 is the acceleration.
Grab your referral link at /referrals and send it to one person before the weekend. The 50% split is the same in Week 2 as it was in Week 1. The only difference is that the herd is bigger now.
The leaderboard resets at 23:59 UTC tonight. The Week 1 scoreboard is above. The Week 2 scoreboard is empty. Fill it.
