General

A hybrid lottery pool for Bitcoin mining. When the pool finds a block, the miner who solved it gets 1 BTC (chain-enforced), and everyone who contributed to that round gets a proportional share of the remainder. 0% pool fee.
We combine the upside of solo mining (1 BTC for the finder) with the steady accrual of a traditional pool (proportional share of every block). See The Hybrid Model.
0% on block rewards. We don’t take any cut from the BTC the pool finds. Operator revenue comes from other sources, not from your mining.
Yes. Both the pool and the Hashpower NFT contract are live on Base mainnet. There is no testnet active.
Fast, cheap, EVM-compatible L2. Onchain rewards in cbBTC, native USDC, and ETH all work out of the box. Most wallets and tools already support Base.
Independent operators who actually mine. Not VC-backed, not custodial, not an exchange.

​
For miners (hardware)

Anything that speaks standard stratum. Bitaxe models, Nerdminers, S19, S21, Whatsminer, Avalon — all work.
No minimum. A single Bitaxe is welcome.
:3333 for most rigs (mindiff 1024). :3336 for larger rigs that need higher base difficulty to avoid share flooding.
  • Finder reward (if you win): instant. The 1 BTC is paid in the same Bitcoin block your share solved.
  • Remainder share: typically within 24 hours of a block being found.
All payouts go directly to the BTC address you registered. No claim, no approval, no portal.
Technically yes, practically no. Exchanges sometimes refuse small inbound transactions, change deposit addresses without warning, or flag mining payouts as suspicious. Use a self-custody wallet — Sparrow, BlueWallet, hardware wallet.
See the troubleshooting section on the Connect Your Rig page.

​
For onchain users (Hashpower NFTs)

Each mint rents real Bitcoin hashpower from the spot market and points it at our pool during the next Block Party. If a block is found while your mint is active, you receive a proportional share of the remainder in cbBTC on Base.
Spark (15, 1PH/s, 9h),Miner(15, ~1 PH/s, ~9h), Miner (35, ~1.8 PH/s, ~12h), Digger (100, 2.5PH/s, 24h),Crusher(100, ~2.5 PH/s, ~24h), Crusher (250, ~6 PH/s, ~24h). Hashpower and duration are estimates based on spot-market rates at time of mint.
No. Payouts go straight to the wallet that minted. There’s no claim button, no portal, no login.
Mining is probabilistic. Some windows will hit, some won’t. Your USD price is fixed; the outcome is a real lottery shot. Hold multiple NFTs across Block Parties to compound your shots.
Marketplaces often auto-hide newly minted NFTs from collections they don’t recognize yet. Check the “Hidden” folder in your OpenSea profile. Move it to your main collection from there.Basescan always shows the truth — if it’s there, you own it.
Yes. It’s a standard ERC-721 on Base. Note: during an active rental window, share-credit stays with the original minter even if the NFT transfers — the art moves, but the active rental doesn’t. After the window ends, the NFT is a pure collectible.
Your mint queues automatically for the next Block Party. When that party starts, your hashpower goes live for the duration of your tier. You don’t have to do anything between mint and activation.
Yes — your share of any block’s remainder scales linearly with your hashpower contribution. 2× the mints = 2× the slice (in the same Block Party). Bigger mints also climb the leaderboards faster, which is where bonus rewards occasionally land.

For agents

Not yet. We’re publishing the design and working with a small group of agent builders before public release. See For Agents.
An open HTTP-native standard for stablecoin micropayments. Server returns 402 Payment Required, client pays in USDC, call completes. See x402.org.
Yes — DM @basedminingco with what you’re building.

​
Safety and trust

No. The 1 BTC finder reward is enforced by Bitcoin consensus — the pool operator literally cannot reroute it. Anyone can verify this by connecting to our stratum and decoding the coinbase. See Payouts.The remainder distribution is operator-broadcast (one transaction per block), so we could theoretically delay it — but it’s published with the simulator output and reconciles to within a few sats of dust every time. The transparency is verifiable.
The Hashpower NFT contract is verified on Basescan. Mints, transfers, and reward distributions are all visible on-chain. The contract is at 0x076F50Ba398C3c8f3f2AB7B563A5c4784a3A44Af on Base mainnet.
Your hardware is yours. Repoint at any other stratum URL and you’re mining elsewhere in seconds. BTC payouts already received are in your wallet — they don’t depend on the pool staying up. Your NFT stays in your wallet permanently; only future Block Party participation would be affected.
