$PERP: When Staking Turns Into a Lab Experiment

“Not all labs create life. Some just mint it on Cardano.”
Somewhere between a lab and a lunatic asylum, Cardano just created a new species, the Perps. Mutated, rebellious, and ready to burn everything that still makes sense.
These aren’t just NFTs in glass tubes.They’re creatures that breathe memes and exhale pure community chaos.
Staking, but Make It Mutant
On October 24th, 2025, the first Staking Pods went live, and nothing’s been the same since.Instead of locking tokens, the Perps invite you into an experiment. You visit earn.yepple.io/perps, connect your wallet, click “register,”and your NFTs officially enter mutation mode.
No transfers. No risk. Just daily snapshots and a mysterious process running behind the scenes.They say 5% of the total supply, exactly 50,000,000 $PERP, waits for those who stay in the pods until November 7th.And in the lab, there’s only one rule:
Stake early, or get left behind.
Who’s Getting Mutated?
Over 50+ OG Cardano projects have already ended up in “the tubes”, from WhatTheDuck and Baby Snek, to Clay Nation, Derp Apes, and Mallard Order.
Every day, Discord fills with “we caught another one!” posts, ducks, snakes, zombies, bears, all turning into Perp hybrids.Some stake for rewards, others just to see what happens. No one knows which NFT will mutate first.And that’s exactly the point.
How the Lab Works
No classic lock-up. NFTs stay in your wallet, Yepple takes daily snapshots.
Duration: 14 days (Oct 24 – Nov 7). After that, pods deactivate.
No manual claiming. Rewards accumulate automatically and are claimable at the end.
No rerolls. Miss a day, miss the rewards.
It’s chaotic, but the mechanics are clean:Earn $PERP, support cross-project hype, and embrace the mayhem.The Perps are troublemakers, but smart ones.
Between Science and Chaos
Every bull run creates coins. But only chaos creates culture. And Perps seem to understand both.
While others chase APRs, they build memes, lore, and alliances, turning Cardano’s quiet NFT scene into a noisy, glowing reactor.
Staking Rewards, Without the Boring Math
Short version: 50,000,000 $PERP (5% of supply) distributed over 14 days.Each day’s pool is the same, and your share is proportional to how many eligible NFTs you’re holding at snapshot time. Non-custodial, simple, and fully powered by Yepple.
The Basics
Duration: Oct 24 – Nov 7 (14 days)
Daily Pool: ~3,571,429 $PERP
Snapshots: Once every 24 hours
Claiming: After the program ends (via earn.yepple.io/perps)
Vesting: None — full payout at the end
Formula (Simplified)
Your daily reward ≈ ( your NFTs / total eligible NFTs that day ) × daily poolNo confirmed rarity multipliers yet, everything’s count-based unless updated on X or Discord.
Example
Daily Pool: ~3,571,429 $PERP
Total NFTs in pods that day: 100,000
You hold: 1 eligible NFT- ~35.71 $PERP per dayIf you joined on Oct 29 (Day 6) and stay until the end, ~285 $PERP total for that one NFT.( 10 NFTs? Multiply ×10. Easy chaos math.)
Who’s in the Pods?
50+ OG and meme collections, ducks, snakes, derps, apes, clays, and gamers.WhatTheDuck, Mallard Order, Baby Snek(lettes), Clay Nation, Derps/Derp Apes, Deadpxlz, Tavern Studios, Eternals, Walkers, Ape Nation, Spacebudz, Hosky 2025, Jellycubes, Goofy Gophers, Savage Bears, Frigid AI, Dragon Alliance, Keyboard WIC, Omen4Omen, BankCard, Mekka Dynasty, ViperSwap, and more joining daily.
The lab expands by the hour.
Trouble Comes With the Territory
The Perps never promised peaceful staking.This is a lab, not a bank.
$PERP is new, the lights are flashing, everyone’s rushing to the pods, but you know how it goes: play with mutation long enough, and you might become one.
No fixed APY, no guarantees, just pure fun, risk, and maybe a moonshot straight from the beaker.If that sounds too wild, the lab door’s still open. For now.
This isn’t just staking. It’s a culture of experimentation. While others write whitepapers, the Perps mix glowing liquids and see what happens. It’s Cardano’s version of scientific madness, and somehow, it works.
Maybe real progress doesn’t happen in offices, but in labs filled with laughter, cables, and mutant NFTs.
This isn’t about earning interest. It’s about earning legend. If you’re part of the Perps lab, you’re not just a holder,you’re the experiment that survived.
Because in a world obsessed with pumps, it’s the mutants who build the real stories.
