CATS MINING
You mined the cats. Now the cats mine for you. Stake your MINECAT and it earns for as long as it stays staked — holders only, no exceptions.
YOUR CATS connect your wallet
Connect a wallet that holds MINECAT to see them here.
Staking moves the NFT into the mining contract. It can only ever come back to the wallet that put it in — there is no function that sends it anywhere else, not even for the owner.
YOUR POSITION
Unstaking takes 7 days. Your hashrate stops the moment you request it — not when you withdraw — so nobody keeps earning while queued to leave.
HASHRATE TIERS more cats staked, bigger multiplier
| cats staked | multiplier | effective hashrate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.00× | 1.0 |
| 2 – 4 | 1.10× | 2.2 – 4.4 |
| 5 – 9 | 1.25× | 6.25 – 11.25 |
| 10 – 24 | 1.50× | 15 – 36 |
| 25 + | 2.00× | 50 + |
The tier table is hardcoded in the contract and has no setter. Nobody can move the curve after you have staked.
THE POOL
The pool is topped up from protocol fees, so it refills instead of just bleeding out. Rewards are always capped by the real balance — if it ever runs dry, claims pay what is actually there rather than promising what is not.
WHAT MINECAT IS FOR the loop, not a slogan
A reward token that only ever gets emitted and sold goes to zero, and then the rewards are worth nothing. So MINECAT is built to be spent back into the mine. Every time someone does, supply leaves circulation and the pool is shared by fewer tokens.
ADVANCED MINING planned
Spend 500,000 MINECAT to raise one cat’s hashrate by one level, up to ten levels — a maxed cat mines at 2.00×. Level 2 costs twice level 1, level 3 three times, so the ladder gets steeper the higher you climb.
Half of every payment is burned to the dead address and never comes back. The other half drops into the mining pool, so upgrading extends the mine for everyone still in it. The burn address is hardcoded and the price ladder is immutable — no setter, not even for me.
Boosted cats run on energy and drain it while they mine. Refill with MINECAT. This makes demand recurring instead of one-off — the difference between a token you buy once and a token you keep needing.
Burn MINECAT for additional entries in a payout round. Same proof-of-luck idea the collection was distributed with: you cannot buy a win, only more chances at one.
WHY THIS IS MUTUAL
Nothing here asks you to trust a roadmap. The staking contract holds no power over your NFT — it can only ever return it to the wallet that staked it, and there is no function that lets anyone drain the reward pool. Utilities ship as separate contracts you opt into, one at a time.
Status: staking is written and tested. The upgrade contracts above are designed but not deployed. Nothing is live until it is on-chain and readable — treat anything marked planned as exactly that.
