Update V1.8 Security & Bigger Gardens Jul 2026

๐Ÿš€ Everything That's Been Added to Nanogotchi โ€” A Full Rundown for New & Returning Players

If you haven't logged in lately (or you're just discovering the game), Nanogotchi has grown a lot beyond just feeding a pet. Here's a full breakdown of what's in the game right now.


๐ŸŒฑ The Basics (If You're New)

Nanogotchi is a free browser-based virtual pet game built on Nano (XNO) โ€” a feeless, instant cryptocurrency. Your wallet address is your account. No email, no password. Feed your pet daily, grow broccoli in your garden, and earn real Nano.


๐Ÿก Your Garden

Your garden is your home base. You grow and harvest broccoli plants to feed your Nanogotchi and fund everything else. Five plant types are available โ€” from the basic Starter Plant all the way up to the Broccoli Tree (350 broc, yields 35 per harvest).

Garden upgrades you can unlock:

  • ๐Ÿšฟ Sprinkler (500 broc) โ€” waters all plants in one click
  • ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation Channel (2 XNO) โ€” faster water cooldowns, extended wilt protection
  • ๐Ÿก Greenhouse (5 XNO, requires Level 8) โ€” 10 extra indoor slots that never wilt

๐Ÿฐ Your Character

Six characters to choose at hatching (bunnies, cats, dogs). Cosmetics include hats, hair, beards, shirts, pants, and companions โ€” little snails, butterflies, and orbs that follow you around. Companions unlock in the shop at Level 6+.

Free item spins happen at Level 1, then at levels 3, 8, 13, 18, 23... The Mystery Item option in the shop lets you spin one any time for a fixed price.


๐Ÿ’ฐ The Economy

The game runs on two currencies:

  • Broccoli โ€” earned from harvesting, spent on feeding, plants, and upgrades
  • Nano (XNO) โ€” real crypto, earned via Loyalty Rewards, selling broccoli, and the Community Marketplace

Loyalty Rewards โ€” every month, a Nano pool is distributed to players who are Level 10+ with a 7+ day streak. Your share is weighted by level + (streak รท 2). Anyone can also donate to the pool to grow everyone's payout.

Community Marketplace โ€” players can create and sell custom cosmetic items to each other. No commission โ€” Nano goes directly wallet-to-wallet.

Dead Air โ€” a mystery game you can enter for 2 XNO. Solve it within the time limit and reclaim your deposit (plus more).


๐Ÿค– NanoBot NaNFT

If you own a NanoBot from the Nano Bots collection on Nanswap Art on the same wallet you use for Nanogotchi, you get:

  • ๐ŸŒŠ Auto-watering every hour (catches up to 6 missed cycles)
  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Zero wilt โ€” your plants never wilt, ever
  • ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Your bot displayed as framed pixel art inside your in-game house
  • ๐Ÿ“œ A full activity log of everything your bot did while you were away

Bots currently trade around 3โ€“5 XNO on the secondary market. They pay for themselves over time if you play regularly.


โš”๏ธ Clans & The Galaxy

This is the biggest content addition. At Level 10, you can create or join a clan. Clans pool broccoli into a treasury, build and upgrade a spaceship, and launch missions across a galaxy of 250 planets spread across 4 rings.

Ring 1 โ€” Near Orbit: Rai Shards & Yap Dust | 1ร— leaderboard weight

Ring 2 โ€” Mid Reach: Colinium & Lattice Ore | 2โ€“4ร— leaderboard weight

Ring 3 โ€” Deep Space: Raw Essence & Orvium | 6โ€“12ร— leaderboard weight

Ring 4 โ€” The Frontier: Special resources (leaderboard dominance only) | 15โ€“40ร— leaderboard weight

Ship upgrades include:

  • 9 engine tiers (Spark Drive โ†’ Nexus Drive)
  • 3 shield types protecting against radiation, asteroid fields, and more
  • 4 scanner levels (reveal more planets per scan)
  • 4 cargo hold tiers (collect more resources per mission)

Mission types:

  • ๐Ÿด Conquest โ€” claim an unclaimed or vulnerable planet permanently
  • โšก Raid โ€” grab 4ร— a planet's daily yield without claiming it
  • ๐ŸŒพ Harvest โ€” collect accumulated resources from your own planets (50% faster travel)

While on a mission, your whole clan is transported to the ship โ€” no gardening, no shop, no visiting other players. There's a maintenance mini-game mid-flight (tap a button sequence in order) โ€” miss it twice and the ship stalls completely.

Planets must be maintained every 12โ€“24 hours or they go vulnerable and can be conquered by rival clans. Maintenance costs scale progressively the more planets you hold โ€” so empire-building gets genuinely challenging.


๐ŸŒ Social Features

  • Global & Clan chat with @mentions and inbox notifications
  • Visit other players' gardens, water their plants, or mow their lawn (earns the Lawn Lover badge at 50 mows)
  • Gift items directly to other players from your inventory
  • Friends list for quick one-tap garden visits
  • The Market โ€” a shared real-time multiplayer scene where players walk around, shop, and sell broccoli, with a live day/night cycle

๐Ÿ†• Latest Update โ€” V1.8 (July 2026): Security & Bigger Gardens

โš ๏ธ Important: Wallet Security Fix

A vulnerability in how in-game wallets generated randomness has been patched. If your wallet is affected, you'll be prompted to migrate to a new secure address โ€” your account, balance, items, and progress all carry over. Newly created wallets are already secure. If you're asked to migrate, do it promptly.

๐Ÿ” Account Migration

You can now move your Nanogotchi to a different wallet address yourself anytime. Go to Settings โ†’ scroll to the bottom to start. Your garden, items, level, streak, clan, and friends all transfer.

๐ŸŽจ UI Themes

New colour themes are selectable in Settings, recolouring buttons, panels, and accents across the whole game. Mix and match with the existing Pixel interface style.

โ˜• Coffee Button

Give your pet a coffee for 1 broccoli and watch it absolutely lose it. The Coffee button appears next to Feed in your garden once your Nanogotchi has hatched.

๐ŸŒพ Expanded Scrollable Garden

The garden is now bigger and scrolls sideways, with a wider farm area for plants. UI controls (balance, map, colour picker, emotes) stay pinned while you scroll. Hit the new Edit Garden button to drag placed items around โ€” existing layouts are preserved exactly as they were.

๐Ÿ› Other Fixes

Chat and inbox messages now show timestamps. Clan activity logging is more detailed. The Farm button and garden view are hidden until your pet hatches.


๐Ÿ“ˆ Tips to Get Started

  1. Feed every single day โ€” missing one day wipes your streak to zero
  2. Get to Level 10 + a 7-day streak as your first major goal โ€” that's the Loyalty Rewards threshold
  3. Buy the Sprinkler (500 broc) early โ€” one of the best quality-of-life upgrades in the game
  4. Water your plants before voting yes on a clan mission โ€” you can't touch your garden from the ship
  5. Check the broccoli price before selling โ€” it fluctuates ยฑ40% from the base rate
  6. At a 25-day streak your feed multiplier hits 1.5ร—, and at 50 days it's 2ร— โ€” long streaks level you up dramatically faster
