# Mutations

**If you’re a holder of an external NFT(s) from one of the collections that MAD Metaverse collaborated with, you can use your token to produce some impressive results while evolving your Metacells\*.**

Note: we don’t take your “external” token (e.g. Cryptopunk token) in any way. We just make a full snapshot of it with all its metadata.&#x20;

Then this metadata and token’s image might be used to produce some outcomes in The Lab. Note that this also might result in the appearance of a second token in your wallet. The results of such mutations might be different - it can result in increasing probabilities for splitting Metacells or creating more advanced NanoCells with higher skill levels and might be different for each collection. The results that every collection can produce is defined by “The Admin” and is shared with players.

**The idea is for the Mad Metascientist to develop these Metacells until they’re fully realised organisms who can move freely. The aesthetics and attributes are all catalysed through the experiments undertaken by Mad Metascientists.**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mad-metaverse.gitbook.io/mad-metaverse/metacells/mutations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
