Breed
Two of your Zyclings give a new one: for each trait, pick the parent it comes from. About one child in ten mutates: one trait becomes one neither parent has. The preview is the exact child and its price, before you sign.

How to start
Zyclings live on the Zycord testnet: test coins, not real money. Do steps 1 to 3 once, then play.
Get the wallet
- The official Zycord wallet, only from the official page zycord.com/docs/install. The public testnet needs the RandomX builds, whose names end in
-randomx. - Set it to Testnet: pick the Testnet card when you set it up. A wallet already on Mainnet: Settings → Network → Testnet, then Save and lock.
- A testnet node. If your wallet comes with one, its Node screen has Start the node. If not, run your own as the official page zycord.com/docs/testnet explains.
- A computer. The wallet is a desktop app (Linux and Windows; for macOS the install page explains how to build it), not a phone app: on a phone you can look around, but not play.
- The official Zycord wallet, only from the official page zycord.com/docs/install. The public testnet needs the RandomX builds, whose names end in
Your address and test coins
- In the wallet: Settings → Persistent addresses → tick Offer persistent addresses on the Receive screen. The Receive screen then shows your persistent address: it starts with
0x02and never changes. Copy it. - Free test coins: the official faucet testnet.zycord.com/faucet. Paste your address under Your address and press Send me coins.
- Or mine them: see “Self-mining” on the testnet page. Rewards must go to a persistent (
0x02) address, and can be spent after 100 blocks. - Test coins have no value: never buy or sell them.
- In the wallet: Settings → Persistent addresses → tick Offer persistent addresses on the Receive screen. The Receive screen then shows your persistent address: it starts with
Connect to this site
- In the wallet: Settings → Site connections → tick Allow sites to connect to this wallet (off by default). Keep the wallet open and unlocked.
- Here: press Add your address at the top, paste your persistent address and press Show.
- Press Connect wallet. The wallet asks “Connect this site?”: check that the address is
https://zyclings.dcafrevolution.com, then press Connect within 2 minutes.
The wallet must say Testnet: the badge at the bottom of its side bar reads Testnet, not Mainnet. Close a Mainnet wallet, or turn its site connections off, while you play.
Play
- Buy a Zycling from the wave on sale: the price falls each epoch (about a day).
- Train it every day for free, in Today.
- Breed two of yours: a new Zycling, its look picked trait by trait.
- Climb the ranking, level by level.
Each action opens the wallet's approval screen. Approve only what you started, and act from your persistent address: if the wallet offers Act from my permanent address instead, press it. The result shows once a block includes it, which can take minutes.

How it works
Zyclings are pixel creatures on the Zycord cEVM, drawn from traits stored in the contract. The first species, Embrix, has 256 rare pieces, opened in 16 waves of 16: in a wave, 15 pieces are sold at a Dutch price that falls each epoch (about a day) to a floor, and one legendary piece is auctioned (a bid in its last epoch moves the end one epoch on). Wave sales and auctions go 70% to the administrator and 30% is burned; on a resale the seller gets 95%; a transfer pays a tax of 5% of the creature's birth value. The administrator cannot set prices, change the collection or touch anyone's creatures: the contract has no function for it.
Breeding (when it is open): two of your Zyclings of one species give a new one. For each trait you pick the parent it comes from; about one child in ten mutates, and the preview shows the exact child and its price before you pay. A look can be born only once.
Training (when the gym is open): each of your Zyclings trains for free once per epoch, one level more (Train, or Train all, in batches of 6). You can also buy a level at any time with +1: the price is 0.5 ZCD times the new level. The level stays with the creature, up to 255; a legendary piece won at auction trains once its auction is closed. Rank shows the trained ones by level.
Act from your persistent address (the one you add at the top of the page) on the wallet's approval screen: a creature belongs to the address that acts. Your wallet must be on testnet, with site connections turned on in its Settings. Near the end of an epoch actions that depend on it are disabled for a few minutes.
