Block #12,483 is open

Mine real Pokémon cards with your GPU

Press start and your graphics card hashes right here in this tab. Find a hash that beats the target and you've mined the block, and the graded card inside it goes to your wallet.

How it works

Three steps to a real card

Mining here works like Bitcoin mining, except every block holds a graded Pokémon card instead of coins. There's nothing to install and nothing to sign.

01

Switch on your GPU

Press start. This tab runs a SHA-256 miner on your graphics card through WebGPU, or on your processor if your browser doesn't have WebGPU yet.

02

Dig for a winning hash

Every hash is a fresh roll of the dice. Most start with a few zeros. Find one with enough zeros to beat the block target and you've mined the block.

03

The card is yours

Each block holds one graded card from Collector Crypt. It's sent to the address you mine to, as a token you can keep, trade or redeem for the physical slab.

$MINE tradesEvery buy and sell of $MINE pays a creator fee.
The vaultFees go to a public vault wallet that only buys cards.
Collector CryptThe vault buys graded slabs listed on Collector Crypt.
One per blockEach new block is loaded with the next card in the vault.
The rig

Your miner, live

Everything on this panel is your own machine doing real work. Hashes are SHA-256, and every share is checked again with your browser's built-in SHA-256 before it counts.

Prizes go to the address you mine to. You never connect or sign anything, so there's nothing to approve. Your rig name shows on the leaderboard.
PreviewYour hashing is real. The network, blocks, prizes and the practice block are samples until launch, and nothing here is sent anywhere.

Your shares

  • No shares yet. Each share is a hash with enough zeros at the front to count as proof of your work.

In this preview, a practice block is sized to take about a minute and a half at your speed, so you can see what mining a block looks like.

The vault

Cards waiting in the vein

These graded slabs are queued for the next blocks, in order. Each one is listed on Collector Crypt; tap a card to see its listing.

The Motherlode

A card for everyone who digs

Every share you find today earns Ore. At midnight UTC one card is drawn among everyone who mined, weighted by the square root of their Ore, so a laptop still has a real chance against a mining farm.

Blocks

Recently mined Sample

Every block, its card, the address that mined it and the winning hash. Anyone can recompute the hash and check it.

    Bedrock

    Fair, public, and on your terms

    How a block is won, where $MINE fits, and how PokeMine looks after your machine.

    How a block is won

    job = SHA-256("pokemine" | height | last hash | address) hash = SHA-256(job || extra || nonce) win if hash < target

    Your address is inside the work, so nobody can take credit for your hashes. The target adjusts every 12 blocks to keep blocks about ten minutes apart, and every block's hash is published so anyone can recompute it.

    Where $MINE fits

    Creator fees from every $MINE trade go to the vault wallet, which only buys cards. The vault, each card purchase and each block are public. You don't need $MINE to mine.

    Holder boostProposed Holding $MINE multiplies the Ore you earn toward the Motherlode:

    Hold 100K $MINE1.25× Ore
    Hold 1M $MINE1.5× Ore
    Hold 10M $MINE2× Ore

    Device guard

    • Eco uses your GPU about a third of the time, Balanced about two thirds, Full all of it.
    • Mining pauses when you switch tabs and stops when you close this one.
    • Nothing is installed, and PokeMine never asks for a signature, a seed phrase or a key.
    • Mining uses electricity. Your odds are shown before and while you mine, so you can decide if it's worth it.
    FAQ

    Questions

    Is this mining a cryptocurrency on my computer?

    No. Your hashes aren't sold or used to mine a coin. They're a fair, checkable way to decide who wins each block's card, the same way proof-of-work decides who adds a Bitcoin block. The cards are paid for by the vault.

    Will it hurt my computer?

    It works your GPU the way a game does. Start in Eco, which leaves it idle about two thirds of the time. Mining pauses whenever the tab is hidden and you can stop it at any moment. On a phone or laptop, plug in first.

    What are my real odds?

    Your chance of mining a block is your hashrate divided by the whole network's. The rig shows that number, and how long a block would take on average at your speed, the moment you start. For most single GPUs that's weeks or months, which is why the Motherlode exists.

    How do I get the card?

    Paste the Solana address you want prizes sent to. When you mine a block, its card is sent there as a Collector Crypt token. You can hold it, list it, or redeem the physical slab through Collector Crypt, which ships it for a fee.

    Can mining farms win everything?

    More hashrate means more chances, just like real mining. Blocks reward raw speed; the Motherlode weights by the square root of Ore, so ten times the work only gives about three times the chance.

    Do I need $MINE?

    No. Anyone can mine. $MINE trading is what fills the vault, and holding it may boost your Motherlode Ore if the holder boost goes ahead.

    Is this an investment?

    No. PokeMine is a game with real prizes. Most miners won't win a block, card values change, and nothing here promises a return.
