Before you buy.
Before you rip.
Straight answers to the questions that change a collecting decision. Independent guidance; confirm rights and product actions through official sources.
Is Mudwater.eth the official Mudwater website?
No. Mudwater.eth is an independent collector resource published by GaryPalmerJr.eth (BAYC 3636). It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Yuga Labs, BAYC, MAYC, ApeCoin, Orange Cap Games or OpenSea. Use mudwater.bayc.com for official claims and product actions.
What is the difference between physical boxes and digital packs?
A physical box is a tangible collectible containing 24 packs. A digital pack is a token. The calculator does not treat physical-only ownership as a qualifying digital balance. Their prices, liquidity and ownership rights must be evaluated separately.
How does the 2.5% APE reflection work?
The official overview describes a 2.5% reflection on Mudwater NFT trades, used to buy APE for eligible holdings, and a separate 2.5% royalty. It names tokenized packs, boxes and cases as counting. This site has not independently verified distributions, exact weighting, fee enforcement or payout timing.
Do opened cards or Totems receive APE rewards?
The calculator counts eligible sealed digital pack equivalents only. Opened-card trading volume can be included as a modeled source of fees, but opened-card ownership and Totem ownership are not counted as eligible balances. Check current official terms before assuming any reward entitlement.
Are the rarity percentages the odds of a pull?
No. The rarity percentages describe the number of different designs in each tier divided by 120 designs. They do not describe printed quantities, pack collation, remaining sealed inventory or a probability of opening a particular card.
How do I use the calculator partway through a month?
Choose the reporting date and set the percentage of that day already represented in your data. For month-to-date data, also enter its first observation day. For a rolling period, the calculator uses that period for daily pace; a calendar-month total additionally requires actual month-to-date volume.
Are these prices and rewards live?
No. The market section is a dated, manually published snapshot. The calculator runs on editable assumptions. Displayed offers are not verified executable bids, and projected rewards are not measured APE distributions.
Can I combine packs into boxes or convert between physical and digital?
The official site described combination and physical/digital conversion as coming soon when reviewed on October 23, 2026. The documented packaging is 24 packs per box and 10 boxes per case. Recheck the official site for current availability, fees and eligibility.
When does the claim window close?
The official claim page states January 19, 2027 at 00:00 UTC, which is January 18, 2027 at 7:00 p.m. in New York. This is a dated reference, not confirmation that a particular wallet remains eligible. Claims take place only on the official site.
Does using the OpenSea referral link support this site?
It may, through qualifying referrals under OpenSea’s terms. The terms reviewed on October 23, 2026 cover eligible token swaps and expressly exclude NFT trades. No commission from purchasing a Mudwater NFT is assumed. The three collection links are direct, without invented referral parameters.
Does this website connect to my wallet or store my holdings?
No wallet connection, transaction signing, analytics or advertising tracker is built in. Saving a scenario stores your entries in this browser only. Shared scenario links reveal the selected calculator’s assumptions to anyone holding the link; the other calculator’s entries are not included. Gateways and outbound services have their own privacy practices.
What should I check before buying a sealed physical box?
Verify seller possession, provenance, factory seals and condition. Compare completed sales of the same format, not digital-pack asking prices. Include purchase costs, selling fees, shipping, insurance and return risk. Use buyer protection and do not assume a physical box includes digital rights.
