THE GRIND
NEVER ENDED

How the jackpot works

Who can play

Holders only. You need at least one ZEROS in your wallet to submit a solution. That is the whole point of holding one now that the mint is over.

What you are mining

keccak256(seed ‖ your address ‖ nonce) — the same preimage the mint used. Your address is inside the hash, so a solution mined for somebody else is worthless to you, and yours is worthless to them.

Who wins

The single best solution of the round, not the most work. Hashes are compared by their numeric value — smaller is better — so every improvement counts, not just whole leading zeros.

How the round ends

Every record restarts a 10-minute quiet window. Beat the record and the clock restarts for everyone. When nobody beats it, the last record standing takes the pot. There is no fixed end time.

Multipliers

Each ZEROS you hold: +1%, up to +1000%. Each boost purchase: +5%, up to +1000%. A multiplier means exactly what it says — your hash is counted as that much smaller, which is the honest equivalent of that much more hashrate.

The boost is permanent

Bought once, it works in this round and every future one. It never expires and never resets. Maxing it out costs 0.2 ETH, which is more than a single pot — it pays off across a series of rounds, not in one. Decide on that basis.

Where the money goes

Half of every boost purchase goes straight into the jackpot you are competing for; the other half is the dev's. The pot itself lives in the contract — not in anyone's wallet — and claim() is permissionless, so the winner gets paid even if we disappear.

What we cannot do

Touch the pot of a live round. The owner can withdraw boost revenue and nothing else. The seed comes from a future block hash announced in advance, so nobody — including us — knows it before everyone else.
