What is BasedMining?

BasedMining is a Bitcoin mining pool with one goal: make it easy for anyone to pool together and mine Bitcoin, whether you plug in an ASIC at home, hold a hashpower NFT, or deploy your autonomous agent. BasedMining is a Bitcoin mining pool with one job: make it easy for anyone to mine Bitcoin. Plug in a rig at home, mint a Hashpower NFT on Base, or point an autonomous agent at us via x402 — same pool, same rewards, same shot at finding a block. We are not another DeFi farm. We are not a custodian. We point real hashrate at the Bitcoin network, find blocks, and pass rewards back to the people who participated — directly, transparently, and onchain where it makes sense. We’re a hybrid lottery pool. When the pool finds a block, the miner whose share solved it gets 1 BTC instantly, paid by the network itself. The remaining ~2.1+ BTC is split proportionally among everyone who contributed work to that round. Every participant gets a payout. 0% pool fee. You win…we win.

For Miners

Plug your ASIC in. Point it at the pool. Win 1 BTC if you find a block. Earn a share every round either way.

For Onchain Users

Mint a Hashpower NFT and get real hashpower for the next Block Party. Earn rewards when a block is found. Paid in cbBTC on Base.

For Agents

Programmatic mining for AI. x402 settlement. Mining skillsets shipping soon.

Why this exists

Bitcoin mining became an institutional sport. Industrial farms are dominating the space, and home miners — the people who made Bitcoin what it is — are getting priced out of the competion. We are doing our part to fight back against centralization while adding in some fun.
  • Home miners running an a Bitaxe, a fleet of S21’s, or anything in between.
  • Onchain users who want exposure to mining without operating hardware.
  • AI agents that need a programmable hashrate primitive they can buy with stablecoins.
All three audiences mine into the same pool. All three share rewards when the pool finds a block. Bitcoin mining is still the best lottery in the world. A single home miner can — and occasionally does — solve a block. It’s rare, but it happens, and when it does, that miner takes home the full reward. The math doesn’t care if the rig is in a warehouse or a garage or an AI. BasedMining is built around that fact. We pool hashpower across home miners, NFT-backed rentals, and agents. During our Block Parties we concentrate hashpower into the same window. More hashpower aimed at the same target means more shots at a block. When one lands, the finder gets 1 BTC and everyone else who contributed gets a piece.

The three doors

Pick the one that matches who you are:

I have an ASIC at home

Five-minute setup. Point your miner at our stratum endpoint, you’re in the round.

I want hashpower without hardware

Mint a Hashpower NFT. Your rented hashpower joins the next Block Party automatically.

I'm building an agent

The agent surface is in development. x402 settlement, programmatic mining, mining skillsets shipping soon.

I just want to look around

Live pool stats, leaderboards, network conditions — public dashboard, no login.
Beta. The on-chain side is live on Base mainnet. The agent surface is being built — see For Agents for the spec.
