# Mint
## GIVE BIRTH TO A NEW BEE
How to Mint?
1. **Select 2 bees** to start the process.
2. **One of the two** must be **at least level 16** for minting to be possible.
3. Each bee can participate in **a maximum of 9 mints** during its lifetime.
4. A **36h cooldown** **applies to your account** after each mint (rest period before a new reproduction).
5. The **mint cost is variable** and depends on several factors. It will become **dynamic at the end of the early phase**.

See section [Dynamic Mint](#dynamic-mint) to learn more.
{% endhint %}
## LARVAE
Transform your larva into a bee
At the end of the mint, you receive a **larva**, ready to transform into a bee.
You have two options:
1. **Immediate transformation**: You can **instantly and freely** transform your larva into a *young bee*.
2. **Incubation**: You can choose to **incubate it** (a strategic feature offering many advantages).
{% hint style="info" %}
See section [incubation ](/whitepaper/move-to-earn/larvae/incubation.md)to learn more.
{% endhint %}
> ⚠️ Warning: once your larva is transformed, **you cannot go back.** This choice is **final**.

## DYNAMIC MINT
How is the dynamic mint cost calculated?
**Mint Cost = $CATKN (A) + \[Base $HELT (B) + Additional $HELT (\[A+B]\*x)]**
The additional $HELT cost is affected by the ratio "**k**" between $CATKN and $HELT, where k = $CATKN / $HELT.
* If k < 1, x = 0%
* If 1 < k < 2, x = 100%
* If 2 < k < 5, x = 200%
* If 5 < k < 10, x = 300%
* If 10 < k < 25, x = 500%
* If 25 < k, x = 1000%
**NOTE: The mint cost will be updated every day at UTC 00:00AM**
