BAIT
BAIT is Kala's in-app currency for verification: logging a catch is free, and you spend BAIT only when you submit a catch to be verified.
BAIT is how verification is metered. The core idea is simple and fisherman-friendly: catching and logging are free. You only spend BAIT when you ask for proof — when you submit a catch to be verified.
That keeps the everyday experience open and only puts a price on the thing that has real value: a credential nobody can argue with. BAIT can be earned as well as bought, so verification isn't gated behind a wall.
Exact rates, bundles, and metering modes are set inside the DerbyFish product and evolve; this page defines what BAIT *is* rather than restating pricing that isn't pinned down here.
Common questions
Do I need BAIT to fish?
No. Fishing and logging catches is free. BAIT is only for verification — the proof step.
Can I earn BAIT instead of buying it?
Yes — there are earning loops as well as purchase. See How to Earn BAIT.
What does one verification cost?
Pricing is set in the app and changes over time; we don't quote numbers here that aren't fixed. The principle that's fixed: free to log, pay to prove.
