2. For every 16 minutes the network release new gen0 kitten by developers, when a newly released kitty gets high bid then the developer gets the total value of the bid. This is time by the crypto kitty network, just to encourage the developers in order to create new kitties 

 

The Genetic algorithms in cryptokitties, let the mating cats, create a new kitten and with a new genome. The newborn crryptokitty will have the cattributes based on its genome Id. 

This entire process has been written in smart contracts, so far every unique genome ID, it creates new kitty with new cattributes.
