Unlocking cosmetics

Every cosmetic in Solbeans has exactly one way to unlock it. Most need nothing but playing. A few special ones arrive with the token. Everything is cosmetic: nothing makes your bean faster or stronger.

Way to unlock What you do Needs crypto?
Starter Nothing, it is yours from the start No
Coins Buy it in the shop with jelly coins earned by playing No
Level Reach a level (for example 5, 10, 20, 30 or 50) No
Achievement Pull off something special (see the table below) No
Burn Token launch Burn the project token for it Yes
SOL Token launch Pay a little SOL for it Yes
Holder / whale Token launch Hold the token in your linked wallet Yes
Premium Token launch Earn it in Premium Portal shows Yes (ticket)

Jelly coins come from playing shows, levelling up and challenges. Most hats, skins, emotes and victory poses are bought with coins. See Cosmetics & shop for rarities.

Some skins simply wait for you at a certain level. Play shows, earn XP, and they unlock on their own.

Achievements are tracked by the server from your show results. Each one unlocks a skin.

Achievement How to earn it Reward skin
Champion Finish 1st in 5 rounds Golden Champion
Crowned Win 5 shows Royal Velvet
Speedster Finish 1st in 10 race rounds Turbo Stripes
Survivor Be the last bean standing in 10 survival rounds Last Bean Standing
Veteran Play 100 shows Veteran Patchwork
Portal Champion Premium Win a premium show Portal Prism
Void Walker Premium Finish 1st in 10 rounds of premium shows Void Shimmer

The list will grow. Names and rules may be tuned before launch.

Burning the token Live at token launch

Section titled “Burning the token ”

A few rare cosmetics can only be unlocked by burning the project token: the tokens are destroyed for good, and you get the item. Your wallet shows the exact amount before you approve, and the server checks the finished transaction on chain before granting the item. Burns cannot be undone. The step-by-step flow is in Cosmetics & shop.

Paying with SOL Live at token launch

Section titled “Paying with SOL ”

Some items can be bought with a small amount of SOL. The game creates a short-lived order (about 10 minutes), your wallet asks you to approve one transfer, and the item appears once the server has confirmed the payment. Only pay from your linked wallet.

Holder and whale skins Live at token launch

Section titled “Holder and whale skins ”

Two skins are for players who hold the token: Holder Bean and Whale Bean.

  • Tiers are a share of the token’s current total supply, held in your linked wallet: currently 0.05 % for Holder and 0.25 % for Whale. (Burns shrink the supply, so the same balance can be worth a bigger share over time.) The game shows the current thresholds.
  • Stay at or above the threshold for 1 hour without dropping below, and the skin unlocks. The game shows how long is left (“hold 37 more minutes to unlock”).
  • Drop below the threshold and the skin is locked again and taken off if you wear it. Get back above it and the hour starts over.
  • Whale also unlocks the Holder skin.
