The $700 Core Run
Every remaining Mintegra epoch is a season in one continuous campaign. Mine gems, hold or stake them to the epoch snapshot, climb one permanent level ladder, and compete for exact cash prizes that grow deeper into the mine.
All ten seasons
Pools unlock one epoch at a time. Nine epoch seasons total $500; the Grand Final adds $200.

- A wallet needs at least 3 qualifying gems in the season to enter that season's draw.
- Each qualifying gem gives 1 entry; each qualifying gem staked at the epoch-close snapshot gives 1 extra entry.
- Closer, Top, 2nd and 3rd winners are removed from that season's draw, so the draw always pays a fifth wallet.
- After the epoch closes, the complete wallet, token and entry list is frozen and published for checking.
- A future block number is announced in advance. Its block hash selects the winning entry by hash modulo total entries.
- The Grand Final Draw pays five different Level 3+ wallets $10 each, using five consecutive announced future blocks.
- Across the campaign there are 45 epoch-season prize payments plus 10 Grand Final payments: 55 in total.
The record belongs to miners. Levels, rankings and draw entries never transfer with a sale.
The stone belongs to its holder. Any owner can stake a gem and receive the same rarity-weighted allocation from future mints.
Mining gets more expensive. Each closed epoch raises the next primary mint price, raising the replacement cost of gems already mined.
Campaign miners must hold to the snapshot. Listing before the epoch closes removes that gem from rankings and draw entries.
No one can honestly guarantee a floor. The structure instead supports holding: rising primary prices, staking allocations for every holder, public holder recognition and fewer campaign gems available for immediate resale.
- Eligible mining starts at gem #582. Founder and project wallets listed in the public rules are excluded.
- Only the original mining wallet earns campaign credit. Bought gems never inherit miner levels or entries.
- A gem counts at a season snapshot only while held by its miner or staked from that wallet.
- A season pays only when its epoch fully closes. No partial payout is made for an unfinished epoch.
- One wallet may receive only one cash prize in a season. Overall campaign winners are calculated after #5,550.
- USD prize values are paid in ETH within 72 hours of the relevant epoch close, with winner wallets, token IDs and transaction hashes published.
- The next season amount is added to the public prize wallet after the previous epoch closes.
- Published terms for a running season will not be reduced. Mining is voluntary; prizes are not a promise of profit or market value.
