The dashboard has three live leaderboards. They’re public, they update every 30 seconds, and they’re where bonus rewards occasionally land.

​
Main Leaderboard

A ranked list of contributors by current hashrate. Each row shows:
  • # — current rank
  • Address — your BTC address (or your Hashpower NFT’s resolved label: Basename, ENS, or truncated EVM)
  • Diff Rank — your best share submitted (top difficulty)
  • Loyalty — number of blocks you’ve contributed to
A green dot next to your address means your worker is currently active (submitted a share in the last 60 seconds). A RENTAL badge appears next to NFT-backed entries.

​
Top Difficulties

Ranked by the highest-difficulty share each contributor has submitted. A share’s difficulty is how close that hash came to solving a block — the higher the number, the closer the miss. The board is luck-weighted as much as power-weighted: a small Bitaxe can occasionally hit a freak high-difficulty share and rank above a big farm for a session. Units run K → M → G → T → P (kilo / mega / giga / tera / peta).

​
Top Loyalty

Ranked by number of blocks participated in. Loyalty rewards consistency — keep your rig pointed at the pool across many rounds and you climb here. Hardware miners that stay online for many rounds will outpace NFT-backed rentals here (rentals are time-limited; hardware miners are persistent).

​
Special rewards

Leaderboard positions sometimes earn bonus rewards that aren’t part of the standard payout flow:
  • Top-rank bonuses — occasional cbBTC airdrops to the top N of one board for a given window
  • Milestone bonuses — first miner to cross a difficulty threshold, first NFT holder to accumulate X PH-days, etc.
  • Block Party special pools — extra rewards earmarked for participants of specific Block Parties
These are operator-discretion drops, not algorithmic. Follow @basedminingco for announcements and timing — bonuses are usually announced before the eligibility window so people can position.

​
How to climb

Hardware miners:
  • Bigger ASIC = higher hashrate = higher rank
  • Better firmware tuning = higher accepted share rate
  • Stay connected long-term to dominate Loyalty
NFT holders:
  • Higher-tier NFT = more hashpower contributed = bigger rank during your active window
  • Stack mints across Block Parties to build cumulative PH-days
  • Crusher tier ($250) anchors the leaderboard
Tip: the Top Difficulties board rewards luck as much as power. A small miner can hit a freak high-difficulty share — that share doesn’t have to solve a block to be the highest the pool has seen this round.
