# What is Asteroid Shiba

![](/files/oiFfbHeQyECxEoASPtrD)

**Asteroid Shiba is a space gold-rush game inside Telegram.** Every season, a limited number of valuable asteroids exist somewhere in the field. You send out signals, scan the void, and hunt for them. Find one first — and it's yours for the whole season, quietly earning rewards.

The fantasy is simple: **you're an explorer who found the gold vein before anyone else.**

## The loop, in one line

> Send a signal → scan → discover an asteroid → collect rewards → upgrade → hunt again.

Some asteroids are empty rock. A few hold real value — Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and the almost-mythical **Genesis**. The rarer the find, the bigger the reward, and the fewer that exist in the whole season.

## What makes it different

* **Ownership.** A valuable asteroid you find stays in your portfolio and keeps earning until the season ends — you're building a mining fleet, not chasing a single prize.
* **Fair odds for everyone.** Every rarity exists for every player from day one. Upgrades only shift your *chances* — a brand-new player can still, in theory, strike Genesis.
* **A real network.** Invite explorers and your network carries into the game, boosting your start and your odds.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://asteroid-shiba.gitbook.io/asteroid-shiba-docs/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
