# Why would I adopt a Blobble?

There are two main reasons why you would adopt a Blobble from the [Orphanage](https://university.blobble.xyz/game-play/how-to-adopt-a-blobble):

* **It can be cheaper!** 
  * Orphan Blobbles cost $40 + their respective backlog of health.
  * *<mark style="background-color:purple;">You might find an orphan Blobble that is four weeks old and end up paying \~$54</mark>*
* **To earn more BST tokens!**&#x20;
  * Older Blobbles generate more BST tokens for their owner.&#x20;
  * *<mark style="background-color:purple;">A linear distribution is in place, favoring old and healthy Blobbles.</mark>*&#x20;
