Welcome to The Grid, the first fully decentralized, deflationary "Burn-to-Earn" mining simulation on Solana. This guide provides full transparency on how yields are calculated, how hardware costs adapt, and how mathematical deflation protects the ecosystem.
1. The Core Philosophy (Buy & Burn)
Unlike traditional GameFi projects where "Miner NFTs" are minted out of thin air causing hyperinflation, The Grid operates on a strict deflationary Proof-of-Work model.
To acquire a Virtual Miner, you do not pay the developer. Instead, purchasing a miner automatically BURNS circulating $67 tokens from your wallet. By purchasing hardware, you permanently remove supply from the open market, creating organic scarcity and buy pressure. In return, you receive a share of the secure, decentralized 200,000,000 $67 Treasury Pool, distributed slowly over 10+ years.
2. The Mathematical Formulas
Your rewards (yields) are not arbitrary. They are calculated dynamically every 15 minutes (1 Epoch) based on your percentage share of the global network.
A. The Epoch Emission (The Supply)
The 200,000,000 $67 reward pool is distributed via a halving algorithm similar to Bitcoin.
- Epoch Duration: 15 minutes (96 payouts per day).
- Year 1 Reward:
951.33 $67 per Epoch (Fixed).
- The Halving: Every 365 days, the epoch reward is halved (Year 2 =
475.66 $67). This protects against inflation in the future.
B. The Yield Calculation (Your Profit)
Your payout every 15 minutes is calculated purely from your percentage dominance (network power) over the entire network.
Your Reward = (Your Hashrate / Total Global Hashrate) × Epoch Emission
- Your Hashrate: The combined processing power of all your active miners (e.g., 1x M67 Miner =
1.10 MH/s).
- Total Global Hashrate: The sum of ALL active miners from all players worldwide, PLUS the Base Genesis Shield.
C. The Base Genesis Shield (The Protection)
To prevent the very first miner on day 1 from siphoning 100% of the epoch reward (the full 951.33 tokens), the protocol enforces a permanent Global Base Hashrate of 2.26 MH/s. You are always "competing" against this baseline. If few people are mining, the rest of the tokens simply remain protected in the smart contract and are not thrown into nothingness.
Example Calculation (If you mine):
* You own 1x M67 Miner (1.10 MH/s).
* 50 other players own S67 Miners (Totaling 5.00 MH/s).
* Total Global Hashrate = The Shield (2.26 MH/s) + Real Players (1.10 + 5.00 MH/s) = 8.36 MH/s
* Your Dominance = 1.10 divided by 8.36 = 13.15 %
* Your Reward per Epoch = 13.15 % of 951.33 $67 = 125.10 $67 every 15 Min
3. Hardware Costs & The Stablecoin Peg (USDTT-Peg)
The token economy is designed so that the game always remains playable, even if the price of the $67 token skyrockets.
Therefore, hardware costs are dynamically pegged to Solana (SOL), resulting in a constant USDTT entry price, so we remain purely in the crypto ecosystem (token equivalent value).
| Tier |
Hardware Model |
Hashrate (Power) |
Approx. USDTT |
| Tier 1 |
SixtySevenMiner S67 |
100.0 kH/s |
~10.00 USDTT |
| Tier 2 |
SixtySevenMiner M67 |
1.10 MH/s |
~100.00 USDTT |
Tokens Burned = Hardware USDTT Value / Live $67 Token Price
🏆 Why Early Miners Win (The Early Adopter Advantage)
Scenario A (The Early Miner - Token at bottom at e.g., 0.000008 USDTT):
User A buys the ~10.00 USDTT S67 Miner today. Because the token is so extremely cheap, they must BURN an incredible 1,250,000 $67 Tokens. This "burn" instantly sucks supply from the market. They now permanently mine with 100 kH/s and harvest their network share of 6,137 $67 Tokens from the pool every single day (188% ROI).
Scenario B (The Late Miner - The Token goes viral and pumps to 0.008 USDTT):
Months later: The constant burning from earlier has constricted the token's price violently; it has exploded 1,000x to 0.008 USDTT. User B sees the hype and wants to mine too. To buy the exact same 10.00 USDTT S67 Miner, they now only have to BURN 1,250 $67 Tokens (because 1 token is worth so much more). User B now also mines in the pool.
WHO IS THE WINNER? And why?
User A (The Early Adopter!)
User A's 100 kH/s Miner continues to receive their farmed 6,137 $67 Tokens per day. However, since 1 token is suddenly worth 0.008 USDTT due to the hype, User A's daily yields are now worth $49.00 USDTT EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Reminder: Their hardware purchase cost them a one-time fee of only 10.00 USDTT months ago. They now recoup their entire initial investment every few hours! This exponential scaling dynamic is exactly how the Scarcity Protocol rewards early miners over later retail users.
4. Hardware Boosters & Your Mining Farm
Most importantly: Purchased Miners never expire.
Every time you buy a new Miner, it is added to your account. This means you don't just run one miner; over time, you build a massive, permanent Mining Farm.
The true whales of Crypto don't settle for simple mining. The system rewards aggressive re-investment through Hardware-Boosters:
Every higher Tier-level (e.g., from S67 to L67) increases your Hashrate disproportionately (Booster effect). You pay more, but you receive an exponentially higher share of the Global Hashrate. If you immediately burn your very first, early-mined tokens (at the bottom) to add the next largest miner to your farm ("Compounding"), you build an insurmountable lead (Booster) over latecomers. Every new machine stacks ("Stacking") on top of your previous computing power!
5. Return on Investment (ROI) & Re-Investment Cycle
Your true profit is measured in the USDTT Equivalent (or Solana/USDTC), not in the pure quantity of your tokens.
- Start Mining: You buy a Miner by sending your token bag to the Burn Contract.
- Yielding: Your miners automatically farm $67 continuously, 24/7.
- The Price Pump: As new players join and also burn tokens, the free circulating supply shrinks. This massively drives up the USDTT equivalent of your daily farmed $67 yields (see Scenario A vs B).
- The Re-Investment Cycle (The End-Game): To prevent inflation caused by mere dumping, players are incentivized to reuse their mined USDTT yields for Hardware Boosters (Upgrades - e.g., to the extremely powerful XXL67 God-Mode). By doing this, they immediately burn their own farm yields in the fire again, organically maintaining the price chart.
