# What is a KU?

### KU

At its core, a Ku is more than just a digital collectible—it's a companion, an adventure buddy, and a cherished baby kanary in the world of Kuverse. Each Ku is a unique entity with its own distinct attributes, rarity levels, and personality traits, making it a one-of-a-kind addition to any collector's portfolio.

#### The Three Stages of KUs

**1. OG KUs**

OG KUs, short for "Original Gangsta KUs," represent the founding members of the Kuverse community. These iconic characters laid the foundation for the vast and diverse universe of KUs to come. With their legendary status and rich history, OG KUs hold a special place in the hearts of collectors and enthusiasts.

**2. KU EGGS**

KU EGGS are the next generation of KUs, born from the legacy of the OGs. These mysterious eggs contain the kore particles that can be unlocked upon hatching with an incubator.

**3. KUs**

Once hatched, baby KUs emerge from their eggs, ready to embark on exciting journeys. These adorable kanaries are ready and waiting on your command.
