About

Worms is a pixel-art NFT project on Algorand. It started in October 2023 with 1,000 pixel Worms, and grew into three collections (Worms, Werbs and the hand-drawn Compost Pals), the $Compost token, and a set of games you play with the NFTs you hold.

The Werb Shuffle

One shuffle. One random Werb.

Pay the current price in ALGO and a random Werb from the vault lands in your wallet. The price steps up as the vault empties, so the earlier you shuffle, the less you pay.

From the chain

30 ALGO

Next price: 40 ALGO at 3,000 left

    Worms will never ask for your 25-word passphrase. In Pera, only approve what you expect.

    In the vault now

    A random look at Werbs still in the vault. Tap one to see its traits. The shuffle picks yours at random.

    Pick your own

    Want a specific Werb? 200 ALGO.

    Buy any Werb still in the vault for a fixed 200 ALGO. Each wallet gets 3 picks a week, and they come back every Monday (00:00 UTC). Shuffles stay unlimited.

    3 picks per wallet each week
