FAQ
The questions we've been asked, in roughly the order they come up.
About the project
What is Fantums Reborn
A 10,860-supply pixel-art duel collection on Sonic (chain 146). It is the rebirth of Fantums of Opera, a collection that launched on Fantom Opera in July 2021 and is being wound down with the chain in June 2026. See What is Fantums Reborn.
Is this affiliated with the original Fantums of Opera team
It is built by a former community member of the original Discord, not by the original team. The original TheConductor admin is acknowledged in lore but not involved in development. The founder dev wallet is the source of all canonical actions.
What chain does it live on
Sonic mainnet, chain ID 146. Native asset S. Explorer at sonicscan.org. See Why on Sonic.
Why not just keep the project on Fantom Opera
Because Fantom Opera shuts down on 2026-06-30. The chain is going away. Continuing the project there is not an option.
About OG eligibility
Who counts as an OG
Every address that ever received an original Fantum (FUM) on Fantom Opera between block 15,000,000 and block 121,669,337 (the pinned snapshot block). Contracts, burn addresses, and the zero address are filtered out. See How to claim.
I held an OG Fantum for one block in 2022 then sold. Am I eligible
Yes. The eligibility set is "every address that ever received a Fantum". Hold duration doesn't matter.
I bought an OG Fantum after the snapshot block. Am I eligible
If your address shows up in the Transfer event history before block 121,669,337, yes. If you bought it after, no. The pin block is the cut-off.
What if I've lost the wallet that held the original
The proof is keyed to the address. If the private key is gone, the OG slot for that address is unrecoverable. Sorry. Any unclaimed slots roll to public mint.
How many slots do I get
min(uniqueFumEverReceived, 50). Most addresses get 1 or 2. The cap is 50 even for whales.
Do I have to pay to claim
Yes — 50% of the public mint price per slot. The OG window is not a free airdrop, it's a discounted reserved mint with the OG badge attached. See Reserved mint window.
About OG perks
Do OG perks travel with the token if I sell it
Yes. Perks are per-NFT, not per-wallet. Sell an OG Fantum and you sell the perks with it. See OG perks.
Can I lose my OG status
If your Fantum is permadeathed in a stake-mode duel and never resurrected, the token sits in the Graveyard forever. The OG flag is still on the token; it's just dormant. If the token is revived, the OG status comes back with it.
What exactly does the +5% stat boost do
Every OG-minted Fantum has its rolled stats multiplied by 1.05, rounded half-up, capped at STAT_MAX_AT_CREATION + 2 = 20. So an OG with a rolled STR of 14 gets STR 15. An OG with STR 18 (the max base roll) gets STR 19. See Combat system.
Do OG perks stack with founder-100 perks
Mostly no. The fight discount does not stack — the larger of the two applies. The free resurrection does stack — an OG founder gets two free revives total. See the stacking rules in OG perks.
About the art
Is the art on-chain
Yes. SVG templates + trait sprite library + per-token traits are all stored on-chain. tokenURI() assembles the SVG inline. See On-chain art.
What style is the art
Style B: Operatic Cyberpunk Cabaret. Porcelain bodies, hot-pink hair, cabaret gold capes, fluro accents, cyan gem accents. See Art direction.
Will my Reborn look like my original Fantum
No, not directly — the chassis colour changed from pumpkin orange to porcelain (except for Common-tier mints which keep the OG pumpkin palette). But your Reborn carries the original Fantum's DNA hash as immutable legacyDna, so the lineage is preserved on-chain.
Are there animations
Static at launch. v1.1 adds 2-frame idle animations for Rare+ tiers. The OG badge gets an animated gradient sweep.
Is there a Legendary tier
Yes. 1% of supply, split 50/50 between Void Phantom (shadow body with pink-glow outline) and Holo Iridescent (gradient rainbow body). See Legendary skins.
What's the Dev Monarch
A 1-of-1, minted to the founder wallet outside the 10,860 supply via Fantums.mintKing(). Porcelain body with pink-glow outline, royal crown, gold cape, gold halo sparkle. The signature piece. See The Dev Monarch.
About combat
How does combat work
D&D-style 6 ability scores + 11 weapons + signed-result PvP. Duels are deterministic from (seed, fantumA, fantumB) and re-verified on-chain. See Combat system.
Is permadeath real
Yes — losers in stake-mode duels go to the Graveyard. But unlike the original, they can be resurrected (paid revival, OG free first revive, insurance-pool free revive). The token is escrowed, not destroyed. See Permadeath and revival.
Can I opt out of permadeath
Yes. Set your Fantum to Vanity mode — it can't duel and can't be permadeathed. The trade-off is a half-price marketplace fee. Vanity mode is one-way — you can't switch back.
Will there be tournaments
Yes, in v1.1 — weekly 8/16/32-Fantum knockout brackets with sFUM-gated entry. See Duel modes.
About sFUM
What is sFUM
The utility token for the project. Fixed supply 100,000 sFUM. Used for duel wagers, name changes, marketplace fee discounts, tournament entry. See sFUM token.
Is there a presale
Yes — small ($10k cap, OG 25% bonus). Bootstraps the LP. See sFUM presale.
Does holding sFUM get me anything
Yes — the marketplace fee drops to 1% if you hold above the threshold. Tournament brackets gate on sFUM. And the value compounds via continuous buyback-and-burn from duels, mint, marketplace, and FeeM rebate. See Marketplace fees.
Is FOO bridged to sFUM
No. FOO and sFUM are unrelated assets on different chains. If you held FOO on Fantom Opera, you do not automatically receive sFUM. The legacy reward is the NFT, not the token.
About technical things
Where are the contracts
TBD at launch — see Contract addresses. All addresses will be published in three places (this page, the repo, and Sonicscan) for triangulation.
Is the code open source
Yes. MIT-licensed, published on GitHub on the same day mainnet deploys. See Open source.
Has it been audited
External audit is planned pre-mainnet. The internal security posture, the supply-chain audit, and the diff against the original Fantums are documented in Security.
What happens to my data when Fantom Opera goes down
Nothing. The Reborn collection has zero runtime dependency on Fantom Opera after the snapshot was taken. When chain 250 shuts down on 2026-06-30, the Reborn project doesn't notice. All eligibility data was captured at the pin block and frozen in the repo.
