Tokenomics

The token

Max supply: 1,000,000,000 $MINES, all minted at launch. No more can ever be minted.

• Allocation: 90% seeds the $MINES/SOL pool on Meteora, 10% goes to the bankroll vault.
• Launch: No tokens are set aside for the team.
• Authority: Mint and freeze authority are revoked at launch. No one can mint more or freeze a wallet.

The game

A 5×5 board hides 1 to 24 mines. You pick your bet and how many mines to hide.

• Flip: Every safe tile raises your multiplier. Hit a mine and the bet is lost.
• Cash out: Bank your winnings after any safe tile.
• Multipliers: Fair odds × 0.98, rounded down. With 3 mines, 1 safe tile pays 1.11x, 5 pay 1.97x and 10 pay 4.95x. With 24 mines, 1 safe tile pays 24.50x.
• Max profit: 1% of the bankroll per round, on top of your bet.
• Unplayed rounds: No first pick within 2 minutes and the round is cancelled with a full refund. If the game server is ever down, anyone can trigger that refund onchain after 1 hour.

The bankroll

The bankroll vault is the house. It starts with 10% of supply, and the program has no instruction that withdraws it to a wallet.

• Lost bets: 99% of a lost bet goes to the bankroll.
• Wins: Profits are paid from the bankroll.
• Edge: On average the bankroll keeps at least 1% of every settled bet: the 2% edge minus the 1% team fee. Rounding always favours the house.
• Limits: Currently, open bets can't risk more than 20% of the bankroll, and net payouts are capped at 10% of it per 24 hours. A cashout over the cap is queued and paid automatically once the cap has room. Whatever the settings, the program never allows more than 50% exposure, a 50% daily cap or 2% max profit.
• Shutdown: If the game closes for good, the only way the program can empty the bankroll is by burning it.

Fees

• House edge: 2%, built into every multiplier.
• Team fee: 1% of every bet goes to the team wallet, win or lose. It comes out of the house's share, never your payout.
• Network fees: Paid by the game.
• Bounds: The program keeps the edge between 1% and 3%, and the team fee at least 0.5% below it. Every round locks in its edge and fee when it starts.

Provably fair

Before you bet, the server commits to a hidden seed. Your browser adds its own seed, and the board is built from both. When the round ends the server seed is revealed (onchain for losses and cash-outs, in the round's details for refunds), so anyone can rebuild the board and check it.
