NFT-only mining
The new design replaces mined token rewards with NFT-only mining. The intended rule is one Hunter per accepted product proof, while the lifetime collection limit has room.
The collection limit remains 5,000 Hunters ever minted. Burning a Hunter does not create another minting slot. Proof-derived artwork remains part of the collection.
These are target rules. The existing contracts still contain the older token-reward design; the new mining settlement and its timing must be implemented and verified before release.
The planned mining journey
- Open the official miner and confirm the published network and contract.
- Choose a supported basket for your Hunter.
- Check the NFT recipient and any wallet spending limit.
- Run the miner to search for a valid proof.
- Submit the proof and wait for the transaction result.
- A confirmed successful mint places the Hunter with its recorded recipient.
The documentation site does not connect to your wallet or submit transactions. The supported launch network and deployment addresses will be published before the product opens.
A proof is not a guaranteed mint
Mining is competitive. Faster hardware can find proofs more quickly. Another miner may take the challenge first, a proof may become stale, or a transaction may fail. Electricity and network costs are real even when no Hunter is received.
We are not publishing a mint speed or hardware-return estimate before the revised mining rules are tested.
Where HUNTER fits
HUNTER is the separately planned ecosystem token. Mining an NFT will not mint HUNTER, and a Hunter will not contain a HUNTER redemption reserve.
The planned Pons V2 token launch connects to the ecosystem through shared creator-tax proceeds that are actually received and reconciled. That is a funding route, not a promise of token demand, a fixed NFT value or guaranteed income.
What must be ready first
The revised proof rules, mining clients, NFT contract and backing vault must agree. The launch must also have working basket backing, a verified deployment record and a usable funding and redemption flow.
