This page explains exactly how accrual, claims, and eligibility work. ## The short version 1. Hold **100,000 $COMPUTE** on-chain in your platform wallet 2. Run at least one **operational** mining rig 3. Earn a share of the daily reward pool based on your **operational hash rate (MH/s)** 4. Claim on-chain when pending $COMPUTE reaches **1,000** 5. Keep a little **SOL** for network fees when claiming ## Eligibility gates | Gate | Requirement | | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Hold to earn | ≥ **100,000 $COMPUTE** in the platform wallet (on-chain) | | Operational rig | Frame + motherboard + CPU + ≥1 GPU + adequate PSU + all fans + cables | | Full earning power | Cumulative **500 SP** spent on packs / rooms / eligible purchases | | Claim minimum | ≥ **1,000** pending $COMPUTE | If your hold drops below the threshold, or a rig becomes non-operational, that earning path stops until fixed. ## How hash rate becomes rewards Rig Rooms allocates mining rewards from a daily pool across all **operational** network hash rate: > Your share ≈ your operational MH/s ÷ network operational MH/s GPUs provide the bulk of hash rate. Fans, cables, motherboard, CPU, consumables, room tier, and item **condition** modify effective output. Accrual is tracked on a backend ledger (updates on a short interval). Closing the browser does **not** pause an operational rig — this is the “passive” feel of the **crypto mining simulator**. ## Offline / passive accrual Operational rigs continue accruing while you are away. That is in-game simulation accrual on Solana settlement — **not** staking yield and **not** a guaranteed APY. Players searching for passive income style loops in a **Solana play-to-earn game** should still treat $COMPUTE as a volatile token. ## Claiming on Solana When pending rewards ≥ **1,000 $COMPUTE**: 1. Open your wallet / claim UI in Play 2. Submit the claim transaction 3. Tokens arrive as on-chain $COMPUTE in your platform wallet Keep spare SOL for fees. Claims below the minimum are blocked. ## What reduces earnings * **Condition wear** while earning: Mint 100% → Dusty 85% → Hot 70% → Fried 0% * Missing fans / cables / CPU / PSU headroom → rig not operational → **0** * Falling under the 100,000 hold * Weaker GPUs vs the rest of the network (your share shrinks if others grow faster) Repair worn gear with $COMPUTE to restore Mint output. See the in-game condition tools and guidebook for fee details. ## Extra earning systems Beyond base mining: * **Token-holder rewards** — hourly SP for eligible $COMPUTE balances (streak multipliers; daily SP cap applies) * **X / social rewards** — reward points from qualifying posts; a perfect week can unlock a temporary mining output boost * **Marketplace** — trade components for $COMPUTE (skill / market dependent) * **Rig Wars** — stake into pack battles for SP prizes ([What is Rig Wars?](/rig-rooms-docs/game-systems/what-is-rig-wars.md)) ## $COMPUTE as a P2E coin $COMPUTE powers rewards, marketplace prices, and progression. In market terms players often call it a **low market cap P2E coin** on Solana.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://rig-rooms.gitbook.io/rig-rooms-docs/play-and-earn/how-to-earn-compute.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
