### :teacher: How it Works

The mining process is designed in a game form, for a fun and enjoyable pastime. Each [Land NFT](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/collections/lands) initially has a level 1 Gold Mine. In order to start mining governance tokens, users must assign available workers to the Gold Mine slots.&#x20;

Workers are abstract characters with their own rarities and abilities. In the Gold Mine, workers are represented as NFTs of qualified collections **with 250k+ votes** in the [Staking-Hub](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/features/staking-hub) Leaderboard. If a user holds an NFT that abides by these criteria, they can employ it as a worker.

Each worker can have one of four rarities, which affect the amount of mined rewards: the higher the rarity - the more <img src="https://2410996304-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsgdZNCfZVeKFljCwmqeG%2Fuploads%2FP9w65HubRPHo7S5VakUR%2Fexo.svg?alt=media&#x26;token=a2574592-090e-45bc-a735-cc666927594d" alt="" data-size="line">[$EXO](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/tokenomics/exonium-or-usdexo) earned. Workers also consume <img src="https://2410996304-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsgdZNCfZVeKFljCwmqeG%2Fuploads%2FlKUoudZF7OQrqUAeujB1%2Fhexo.svg?alt=media&#x26;token=404428b2-9a2a-4c11-91a4-73c6162ec7fc" alt="" data-size="line">[$HEXO](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/tokenomics/hexonium-or-usdhexo) daily; an expense that can be thought of as their salary.

This means if you set 4 new workers today, they will start to work the next new day at 7am utc, and after 24 hours from here you will receive your first rewards.

Rewards received are added to your Kingdom App account balance every day.&#x20;

A worker salary is subtracted from the user's <img src="https://2410996304-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsgdZNCfZVeKFljCwmqeG%2Fuploads%2FlKUoudZF7OQrqUAeujB1%2Fhexo.svg?alt=media&#x26;token=404428b2-9a2a-4c11-91a4-73c6162ec7fc" alt="" data-size="line">[$HEXO](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/tokenomics/hexonium-or-usdhexo) balance automatically, every day as well. If the balance can’t cover daily expenses, workers will stop mining. To resolve this issue and continue mining, top-up your balance with additional [$HEXO](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/tokenomics/hexonium-or-usdhexo) tokens.&#x20;

If the NFT worker leaves the wallet, the connection to the Gold Mine will be severed and progress will be lost.

For ease of use, players can track Gold Mine activity on "Performance" tab. Players also receive daily mining reports as notifications in the Inbox.

Players can increase their mining capacity by upgrading their Gold Mines. A Gold Mine has 10 levels, each opening up an additional slot for assigning workers, thereby increasing earnings. To upgrade buildings, a player must have [items: Toolkits](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/collections/items/toolkits).&#x20;

Max-level Gold Mines (10th) provide a bonus to optimize [$HEXO](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/tokenomics/hexonium-or-usdhexo) consumption, reducing all [$HEXO](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/tokenomics/hexonium-or-usdhexo) costs in the mine by 10%.

### :gear: Details

The Land NFTs that were issued with past giveaways have a level 0 Gold Mine, which must first be built using a Gold Mine Scheme (see [items: Toolkits](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/collections/items/toolkits))

Each size of [Land NFT](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/collections/lands) has a limit on its maximum Gold Mine level. If a Land NFT has a 'Small' size, its Gold Mine can reach level 4, 'Medium' can reach level 7, and 'Large' can reach level 10. Land NFTs can be expanded with [item: Expansion](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/collections/items/expansions), thus opening up the possibility of any Gold Mine eventually reaching maximum capacity.&#x20;

The Gold Rush is a special limited time event ending on Jan 2027, or until the allocated supply of <img src="https://2410996304-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsgdZNCfZVeKFljCwmqeG%2Fuploads%2FP9w65HubRPHo7S5VakUR%2Fexo.svg?alt=media&#x26;token=a2574592-090e-45bc-a735-cc666927594d" alt="" data-size="line">[$EXO](https://guidebook.cardanolands.com/tokenomics/exonium-or-usdexo) tokens for the event ends.
