For parents & newcomers
A plain-language tour of 589 Moon Babies for families and for anyone who is curious about the game but new to crypto wallets. This page is a draft, the game is still being built, and nothing here is financial advice.
What is 589 Moon Babies?
589 Moon Babies is a PC-first, cozy pixel game about caring for a talkative pet companion — a Moon Baby — in Moon Valley, a green crater on the moon. You farm, mine, fish, forage, tend Bee Houses, join seasonal festivals, cook, chat, and watch your companion grow. The tone is closer to a quiet farm adventure than to a trading floor.
Each Moon Baby is designed as a unique digital pet. In the finished game, ownership is meant to be recorded on the XRP Ledger as an NFT, so the creature can live in a wallet you control. That system is still in development. This website is a draft for review, not a store and not a public launch.
You start by choosing one of three flagship companions — Emberling, Terrapip, or Finnip — and you can later meet other species in the valley and in the Moon Valley Arena. Looks, outfits, and seasonal cosmetics are just looks. They never change how a Moon Baby plays.
How to play
The game is designed to be free to play. You can care for a Moon Baby, walk Moon Valley, and use the core loop without buying anything. Cosmetics never change stats, and nobody pays to win. Ranked battles in the planned arena use Fair Mode, which sets every Moon Baby to the same level, and betting on battles is not allowed.
A typical day in the design is simple: feed and talk to your Moon Baby, tend the farm, dig in the mine, and let a grown companion help with chores. Moon Babies grow with care. Neglect leads to dormancy, never to the end of the pet, and you can wake a dormant companion later.
Optional looks, a seasonal pass, and card-frame upgrades appear on the draft site with starting prices in XRP, and an XAH amount quoted live. Every buy button currently says “Coming soon” and is turned off. Purchases are not open yet, and those prices may change before launch.
A community coin for discounts and cosmetics is being explored. Nothing about that coin is final, and no coin discount is live.
What is the XRP Ledger, and what is a wallet?
The XRP Ledger is a public digital record — think of a shared notebook that many computers keep in sync. It can show who holds a particular item or balance. “Built on the XRP Ledger” on this site simply means the game is designed to use that public record for ownership of Moon Babies. It is not a promise that anything will be worth money.
A wallet is an app that holds the keys to an account on that ledger. The keys are what prove the account is yours. Xaman is one example of a wallet people use with the XRP Ledger. You are meant to use your own wallet; this draft site does not ask you to type a secret, and it does not list a project wallet address.
If you lose the secret that controls a wallet, no one can usually get that account back — not the game team, and not the wallet app. That is why the safety notes below matter as much as the game itself.
Staying safe
- Never share your seed phrase, recovery words, or any wallet secret. Anyone who has them can take control of the account. Keep them offline, and do not type them into a website, a chat, or an email.
- We will never direct-message you asking for a seed phrase or secret. Nobody from 589 Moon Babies will ask you to “verify” a wallet by sending those words, a screenshot of them, or a small payment.
- Beware fake sites and scam links. Look-alike pages, airdrop pop-ups, and urgent “your pet will be lost” messages are common tricks. Bookmark the official site once it is published, and type the address yourself instead of clicking a surprise link.
- Use the official site only. An official public domain has not been published yet. This page is a draft preview for review. Until a real official address is announced by the project in a place you already trust, treat other links with caution.
If something feels rushed, secret, or too good to be true, pause and talk it over with a family member before you click or type anything.
Parental controls and spending
Purchases are optional. The game is designed so you can play without buying cosmetics, passes, or card upgrades. When a purchase is offered, the price is meant to be shown up front in XRP on the XRP Ledger or XAH on Xahau. This draft already lists some starting prices, and it also says they may change before launch.
Nothing is for sale yet. Buy buttons on the draft site are disabled and read “Coming soon.” There is no checkout, and this preview does not collect payment.
When sales do open, a parent or guardian should be the person who approves any wallet use and any spending. Wallet apps have their own PIN, biometric, and approval settings — use the ones your wallet provides, and do not share those unlocks with a child who is only playing the game.
This page cannot replace the controls in a wallet app, a phone, or a computer, and it is not a promise about future parental-control tools inside the game.
Age guidance
Crypto wallets generally require an adult to open and manage an account. Rules vary by country, by state, and by the wallet provider, and they can change. This is general information, not legal advice, and it is not a claim about who may or may not play in your region.
If a child wants to play 589 Moon Babies, a parent or guardian should create and manage any wallet, keep the seed phrase, and approve any optional spending. Kids should not be asked to handle recovery words or to send funds on their own.
The game itself is meant as a cozy pet adventure. Talk with your family about screen time, chatting with an AI companion, and whether you are comfortable using a wallet at all. You can wait until you are ready; nothing on this draft has to be bought today.
Glossary
- NFT
- A unique item recorded on a digital ledger. In this project, a Moon Baby is designed to be an NFT — a record that a particular creature belongs to a particular wallet. An NFT is still just a game item. It is not a promise of value.
- XRP
- The unit of value used on the XRP Ledger. The draft site shows some starting prices in XRP, with an XAH amount quoted live, so you can see them clearly. Those figures may change, and they are not a recommendation to buy or hold XRP or XAH.
- XAH
- The unit of value used on Xahau, a separate network. Optional purchases can be paid in XRP on the XRP Ledger or XAH on Xahau. The XAH amount is quoted live from a public price source. If that quote cannot be loaded, the site says XAH is accepted and priced at checkout.
- Wallet
- An app that holds the keys to an account on the ledger. You control the keys. The game team does not hold them for you.
- Xaman
- One example of a wallet used with the XRP Ledger. It is mentioned so newcomers have a concrete name. This site does not require a particular wallet, and it does not sell or run Xaman.
- Star Dust
- An in-game play currency you get by playing. The design notes say it is not a crypto token. It stays in the game and cannot be withdrawn or cashed out.
FAQ
Do I have to spend money to play?
No. The game is designed to be free to play. Cosmetics, passes, and frame upgrades are optional looks only. They do not change stats, and nothing is for sale on this draft.
Do I need a crypto wallet on day one?
You should be able to play the game itself without buying anything. A wallet becomes important when you want to hold a Moon Baby NFT on the ledger. Purchases and mainnet minting are still in development.
Will anyone from the team ask for my seed phrase?
No. We will never direct-message you asking for a seed phrase, a secret, or a “verification” payment. If a message asks for those, it is not from us.
What is Star Dust? Is it a coin I can take out?
Star Dust is an in-game play currency. It is not a crypto token, and it cannot be withdrawn. A separate community coin for discounts and cosmetics is being explored; nothing about that coin is final.
Can players bet XRP on arena battles?
No. The design does not allow betting XRP or coins on battles. Arena play is meant to be for fun, with looks and titles, not cash.
Is this financial advice, or a way to make money?
No. Moon Babies are designed as digital pets and game items. This page does not promise prices, returns, or that any item will be worth money. See the notice below.
Where is the official website?
An official public domain has not been published yet. This is a draft preview for review, marked so search engines should not index it. When an official address is announced, use that one and be wary of copies.
Not financial advice. This is a game in development. Moon Babies are designed as digital pets and NFTs for a video game. Nothing on this page is an offer to sell a token or a promise that a Moon Baby, an NFT, or any related asset will be worth money, will go up in price, or is an investment. This page does not promise prices, returns, or rewards. Age and wallet rules differ by place and by provider; the notes above are general information, not legal advice. This draft site has not been launched as an official public product.
