The game at a glance
Yield Fields is an onchain farming game on Robinhood Chain. Players buy seed packs in ETH, plant the seeds on a free plot, harvest crops and sell them. Some harvests turn up a Truffle, and Truffles are paid in $YIELD, the game’s token. Holders of a Founding Deed own the land: they stake it, build a Fert Deck on it and make Fertilizer, which speeds crops up.
What is live today, and what comes next, is on Where the game stands.
The loop in short
A pack is bought in ETH and opened (“ripped”) into one seed. The seed’s rarity, and so the crop’s value, is fixed the moment the pack is ripped. The seed grows into a crop in 1 to 12 hours. The crop is harvested once and sold, either to the Market for ETH or to the Farmer for $YIELD. One harvest in twenty also finds a Truffle, which takes a share of that night’s $YIELD payout.

The pieces
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
| Founding Deed | One of 3,333 land NFTs, ranked Common to Mythic, each with a Fertility of 5 to 9 |
| Fert Deck | A structure built on a staked Deed for 0.01 ETH. It makes F/2 Fertilizer a day and stores 3 days of it |
| Fertilizer | Cuts 25 % off a crop’s grow time, at most 2 per crop. Lives in the game; can be exported to the chain as a tradeable item |
| Plot | One free 25-slot plot per wallet, no Deed needed |
| Seed pack | Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Diamond, paid in ETH at the CornHub |
| Crop | 30 crops (5 pack tiers × 6 rarities), worth 0.5× to 5× the pack price |
| Truffle | Found on 1 harvest in 20; enters the nightly Settlement at 00:00 UTC and is paid in $YIELD |
| Truffle Pool | Holds the players’ $YIELD and makes the nightly payouts; refilled by buybacks |
| $YIELD | The reward token. Never needed to play: packs are paid in ETH |
| Root Cellar | The ETH backing every Deed shares by Fertility, collected only by burning a staked Deed. The game does not show it on screen yet; the Deed panel shows each Deed’s backing once burning opens |
| Silo and Windfall | A $YIELD pot filled by Deed-reward claim fees; a burn wins 50 % to 90 % of it |
The docs say $YIELD has a 0 % team allocation: all of it goes to the game and no more can ever be minted. Official source
Where the ETH goes
- Players pay ETH for seed packs at the CornHub.
- When a crop is sold, the CornHub takes a fee (10 % at both the Market and the Farmer) and sends it to the Buyback vault. Pack ETH does not go there. May change
- The Buyback vault uses the game’s fees to buy $YIELD over time and puts all of it in the Truffle Pool. Verified
- The Truffle Pool pays the players who found Truffles, every night at 00:00 UTC. Verified
The full flow is drawn on $YIELD, the Truffle Pool and buybacks.
The Deeds have a money flow of their own. Every Fert Deck build fee (0.01 ETH) goes into the Root Cellar, which every Deed shares by Fertility. Verified The docs say part of every $YIELD buy and sell tax will also go there once $YIELD launches. Official source
How the pieces connect
- Crops return about 99.5 % of the pack price before fees; the upside comes from Truffles. After a 10 % sale fee the crops return 89.55 %, and on the Farmer path the $YIELD price also counts. Inferred
- Fertilizer is speed, and speed is Truffle chances. Two Fertilizers halve a crop’s grow time. That doubles a slot’s harvests, and every harvest is a 1-in-20 roll for a Truffle. Inferred
- Pack ETH funds the token. Sale fees buy $YIELD, the $YIELD fills the Truffle Pool, and the Truffle Pool pays players. Inferred
- Only Deeds make Fertilizer. Farmers who want it buy it from Deed holders, as an on-chain item on OpenSea. Official source
- Fertility counts more than once. It sets a Deed’s Fertilizer output and its share of the Root Cellar now (collecting that share by burning comes later), and later its share of Deed rewards, of the claim fees paid back to staked Deeds and of the Windfall. Official source
What you need
- A wallet that works on Robinhood Chain: Robinhood Wallet, MetaMask, Rabby or WalletConnect. Abstract Global Wallet does not work on Robinhood Chain. Official source
- ETH on Robinhood Chain, bridged with the official Robinhood Chain bridge. Official source
- For the Deed side: a Founding Deed. For farming, once it opens: nothing but ETH, since every wallet gets a free plot. Verified
