# Breeding

![Breeding Formula!](https://2033431810-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQ41zTNm6NFHjzw2rFHZe%2Fuploads%2FFb6MbO8OsPixLonIlfDR%2Fformula1.png?alt=media\&token=dcd37826-5228-4987-b99b-4bd6a0b56d87)

Breeding is one of the methods to mint a Gen 3. By partnering a [Gen 1 and Gen 2](https://docs.monkeykingdom.io/wiki/introduction/genesis-gen-1-and-2) with a [Magic Peach NFT](https://magiceden.io/marketplace/magic_peaches_by_monkey_kingdom), you can mint a [Gen 3](https://docs.monkeykingdom.io/wiki/introduction/monkey-legends-gen-3) instantaneously! This process can be done up to two times depending on the breeding availability of each Gen 1 & 2 monkey.

The amazing thing is while Gen 1 and 2s exist on the Solana blockchain, Gen 3s will be minted on the Ethereum blockchain. Talk about the process being revolutionary!

{% hint style="info" %}
Breeding is closed on 27 February 2023 when the Genesis Collection migrates to Ethereum. The final collection size for Monkey Legends are fixed at 7000.

*Too Hot to Handle* was the first ever virtual NFT dating event held on our Discord in February 2022. It helped those who had only a single Gen 1 or 2 find a partner for breeding.
