Since the Hive has only 96 slots, a maximum of **8 bonus NFTs** can be generated per Hive. The NFT remains inactive until it is transferred, opening two possibilities: ## Turn a worker into a linked Queen If the NFT is transferred to a worker already registered in your Hive, she becomes a Queen while keeping the 2% reward link with you. ## Sell it to an external wallet The NFT can be transferred to a wallet outside the Hive. This new Queen will not have a reward link with you, but the transfer costs **50 USDT** for the recipient. For reference, a Queen NFT purchased directly costs 250 USDT — the bonus NFT can be sold for an amount agreed upon by both parties. For the new Queen to maintain a reward link with you, the wallet must already be registered in your Hive **before** the transfer. If it is outside the Hive, the link is not created. The 12 wallets that generated the bonus are marked and cannot be counted again — each new bonus requires 12 new and automated wallets. ## Transfer restrictions * It cannot be transferred to a Queen from another Hive * It cannot be transferred to a worker from another Hive * It can only be transferred to a clean (new) wallet or to a worker from your own Hive ## Becoming a Queen as a Worker A worker can directly purchase a Queen NFT for **250 USDT**. In this case: * The link with the original Queen remains * **75 USDT** goes to her Queen * **75 USDT** goes to the Hive This makes it attractive for Queens to encourage their workers to level up — the Queen earns a 75 USDT reward for each worker who becomes a sub-Queen in her Hive.
