# Passive Income on Solana

People searching for **passive income on Solana** often want something that keeps working after they close the tab.

In Rig Rooms — a **Solana play-to-earn game** and **crypto mining simulator** — operational mining rigs continue to accrue **$COMPUTE** (a **low market cap P2E coin**) while you are offline. That is **in-game accrual**, not a promised APY.

## Passive play, not promised yield

“Passive” means your built rigs keep earning a share of the game’s $COMPUTE rewards as long as they stay online and you meet the hold requirement. You do not need to click every minute.

It is **not**:

* Staking
* Bitcoin mining
* A guaranteed return

Token price moves, emission parameters can change, and hardware wears while it earns. Treat it as a Solana GameFi loop first.

## How offline $COMPUTE accrual works

1. Hash rate from mounted GPUs and supporting components determines your share of network rewards.
2. While rigs are operational, pending $COMPUTE builds up.
3. Claim on-chain once you pass the minimum claim threshold.

Fans, cables, consumables, condition, and room capacity all affect how efficiently that hash rate converts into earnings. Better builds and repairs keep passive accrual healthier over time.

## What you need before rewards start

1. Create a free account ([Play](https://rigrooms.com/play/login)) — a custodial Solana wallet is created for you.
2. Build at least one complete working rig.
3. Hold the required amount of $COMPUTE in the platform wallet.

Without the hold, mining rewards do not pay out.

From there, improve hash rate through packs, marketplace buys, and upgrades. Token-holder rewards and social boosts can stack additional progression paths on top of base mining.

## Who this is for

If you want a Solana crypto mining simulator with idle-style earnings, a visible marketplace, and a hash-rate leaderboard, Rig Rooms fits that brief.

If you want risk-free dollars, no crypto product — including this one — is the answer.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

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/passive-income-on-solana.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
