Token
$MINER
$MINER is the game's currency: you earn it by mining and spend it on miners and upgrades. It launches on pump.fun.
Supply and minting
$MINER is created on pump.fun with a fixed supply. The game program has no mint authority and can't create a single token. Rewards are paid from a vault, a token account owned by the program, that is seeded with up to 21,000,000 $MINER at launch.
Where tokens go
Reward vault→MinersEmission, every second, split by hashrate
Miner & upgrade purchases→Burned50% of every payment, gone for good
Miner & upgrade purchases→Reward vaultThe other 50%, recycled as future rewards
Electricity bills→Reward vaultAll of it, recycled as future rewards
SOL from rig sales→Protocol treasuryUsed for regular $MINER buybacks
Bought-back $MINER→Burned + vaultPart burned, the rest added to the reward vault
Every miner and upgrade sold takes tokens out of circulation, and the half that isn't burned keeps the vault topped up, so the game pays rewards for longer than its seed alone would. On top of that, the SOL from rig sales funds regular buybacks of $MINER from the market, part of which is burned. How buybacks work
Nobody, including the admin, can withdraw from the reward vault. Tokens only leave it as player rewards.
