A small species, grown from its genome.
Keep moebas, breed them with other keepers, and watch the species change. Every child inherits from its two parents, and you can see which part came from whom.

A rehearsal on Xahau testnet. XAH is free here, and everything may be reset without notice; nothing carries over to the release.
Two parents, one roll of the ledger, one child

What is new in the species
The newest members of the population
Grown, not assembled
- 01Genome
32 bytes, 36 genes, two copies of each — one from each parent. Not a picture seed, not a list of looks.
- 02Development
The genome is read through a fixed set of steps: how many segments, where limbs attach, how a head grows. A small genetic change alters a step, and everything downstream of that step.
- 03Body
The result is one canonical anatomy. It follows from the genome alone, so it is the same on every device, every time.
- 04Drawing
Only now is it rendered and set in motion. The renderer visualises the body; it never decides it.
A new branch of an old idea: from Lindenmayer’s plants and Dawkins’ biomorphs to Xahmoeba →
Keep a moeba of your own
A first moeba is one payment of free test XAH. Then breed it with yours or with any moeba open to breeding, and follow its line.
