Mining.

Mining runs in 60-second rounds on a 5×5 grid of 25 tiles. During a round, miners deploy ETH onto any set of tiles: a single tile, a handful, or the whole board.

Settlement

When the clock hits zero, one tile is drawn, weighted by the ETH sitting on it. Every miner who covered the winning tile shares the round's ETH pot in proportion to their deploys. A 10% protocol fee is taken on each round's deploys before winnings are paid, and that fee is what funds buybacks and staking yield. Each round also mints 1.2 PEA: one PEA goes to the winning tile, with a 50/50 chance of being split across everyone on it or awarded to a single miner pro-rata.

The Peapot

The other 0.2 PEA minted each round grows the peapot, a jackpot that builds behind every round. Each settlement has a 1-in-625 chance of cracking it open; when it drops, the winning miner takes the whole pot and it starts rebuilding from scratch.

Strategy

Covering more tiles raises your odds of hitting the winner but spreads your ETH thinner. Pick exact tiles, tune the amount per tile, and repeat a position across consecutive rounds, or hit ALL to cover the full board in one tap.
