Breed limit(3) is added to Purity 20 snails. Since the number of higher purity snails increasing, it is getting closer for a player to mint a P20 snail. So far, this is not achieved, thus making this change easier. While we all enjoy minting higher purity snails, it is overall's best interest to add some kind of limitation to breeding of P20 snails. If it is unlimited like every other snail, there might be an over-population of P20 snails. Thus, we are limiting to 3. From now on a P20 snail can have at most 3 children.

Insights: Minimum race entry fee for competitive races is planned to kept around approximately ~0.5 USD valuation, so that winning snails always get good returns. In the future, there can be even bigger entry fees. For comparison: a similar concept game Zed Run's entry fees change in between 2-500 USD.
A minor bug is fixed that allows Genesis Dust (P11) items to be used on P11 snails. This is the outside of the item's intended design; Genesis Dust P11 items can only be used for creating Genesis Dust P12 items. Only 2 snails affected by this issue. Their class will remain as is, however from onward item's restrictions will apply as intended.

Upon a report from the community(many thanks to them), we have discovered a bug that allows snails to enter multiple daily missions simultaneosly. This bug could only be exploited with computer programs that can send multiple requests to server simulatenously, at the same milisecond range, thus bypassing the entry controls. After the investigation we discovered that only 1 person abused this bug and resulted in around 50-60K Slime earnings. The bug is immediately fixed, and monitoring tools are improved to detect any such scenarios where a user tries to exploit the game intentionally. User's snails are banned from entering the daily missions and using marketplace until 31 Dec 2022. To compensate the possible economic impacts of the issue, it has been decided to market buy SLIME that is double the amount of the SLIME extracted from daily missions. Here is the log of 130K SLIME market bought..

Fix Breed status icon on marketplace now correctly shows the breed status for gender selected newborn snails.
Fix A specific condition that allows snails to join two races in a row on daily missions is now fixed. The condition was the following; when a snail joins as a last athlete(via paying tx fee on network) to join a daily mission they would be able to join another race while waiting the transaction to finalize on the chain and processed by the Snail Trail servers. This window was around 10 seconds. Since this requires a transaction(paying fee) it was not logical/profitable for anyone to abuse, hence we also did not detect any abuse. With the fix, if a snail tries to enter a race as last, they will not be able join another one for 150 seconds. If the transaction succeeds/finalizes on chain, the daily mission cooldown(4 Hours) will trigger as usual. If transaction fails or user decides to not join by rejecting the transaction, they will have to wait 150 seconds before trying to enter a daily mission.

Race Conditions were used to be randomly selected from the available Adaptations which could have caused some unlucky streaks (same condition on 4-5 races). Now algorithm is more smart. If an adaptation is not available on the races with same prize pool it is targeted first. Same improvement is added for race distances as well.
From now on, joining a competitive race rewards 1 mission ticket (used to be 0).
