In principle, each e-kitten is a unique piece of code on the blockchain platform, so there are no two kittens with the same look and feel. The price of each kitten is not fixed. According to the game's official website, Gen 0 cats are priced based on the prices of the five kittens most recently traded and must be purchased using ether.

Take the first-time kitten being sold as an example. The seller sets his price at 11.535 Ethemes (24,000 yuan).
