While your Noodi is in the Nursery it is staked (locked-up). The longer you keep it in the nursery, even without providing items or evolving it, the more $DREAM you earn. Once the NoodiShoppe opens there will be items (in-game consumables) up for sale that you can buy using only $DREAM.

{% hint style="info" %}
Staking and $DREAM will launch first and there will be an accumulation period followed some time after with the NoodiShoppe launch.
{% endhint %}

### NoodiShoppe

NoodiShoppe will consist of consumable/burnable NFTs that can be bought using $DREAM that stakers earned.&#x20;
