Beanstalk Pod holders received Pods in a separate Beanstalk Pod Line based on a snapshot of the Beanstalk [Field](https://docs.bean.money/almanac/farm/field) at the time of Pinto deployment. The Beanstalk Pod Line contains approximately 919.77 million Pods and operates independently from Pinto's primary [Pod Line](https://docs.pinto.money/resources/glossary#pod-line): it has its own Harvestable Index and follows the same first-in, first-out ([FIFO](https://docs.pinto.money/resources/glossary#fifo)) redemption order. ### How Pods Become Harvestable Each [Season](https://docs.pinto.money/resources/glossary#season), when the Pinto supply exceeds 1 billion and the [time-weighted average price](https://docs.pinto.money/responding-to-state/minting) of Pinto is above $1, a portion of newly minted Pinto is allocated to the Beanstalk repayment Field. This advances the Harvestable Index of the Beanstalk Pod Line, converting Unharvestable Pods into [Harvestable Pods](https://docs.pinto.money/resources/glossary#harvestable-pods) on a FIFO basis. Pods at the front of the Beanstalk Pod Line become Harvestable first. The rate at which Pods become Harvestable depends on how many Pinto are minted and allocated to this route each Season. ### Harvesting To Harvest, visit the [Beanstalk Obligations](https://pinto.money/beanstalk) page on the Pinto interface and click **Harvest** in the Beanstalk Pods section. Harvesting converts Harvestable Pods into Pinto on a 1:1 basis and sends them to the Farmer's wallet. Farmers with multiple Plots may have some Plots that are fully Harvestable, some partially Harvestable, and some still Unharvestable, depending on their position in the Beanstalk Pod Line. ### Transferring Beanstalk Pods can be transferred to another address by clicking **Send** in the Beanstalk Pods section. Farmers can transfer entire Plots or partial Plots by specifying a range within a Plot. ### Trading Beanstalk Pods can be bought and sold on the [Pod Market](https://docs.pinto.money/resources/glossary#pod-market) by clicking **Buy/Sell** in the Beanstalk Pods section. ### Completion The Beanstalk Pod repayment is the last route to finish. As the Beanstalk Silo and Beanstalk Fertilizer routes complete, their allocations cascade to the remaining routes, eventually directing up to 3% of all mints to the Beanstalk Pod Line. See the Distribution section for the full cascading logic. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.pinto.money/appendix/beanstalk-obligations/beanstalk-pods.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
