Mining

How block production and COMPUTE rewards work on Alpha Mainnet

Experimental Feature

This feature is experimental and may change significantly in future versions.

Overview

ComputeNet Alpha Mainnet (chain computenet-mainnet-1) is live and experimental. Miners produce blocks and are rewarded in COMPUTE for extending the canonical chain and including valid transactions. Protocol rules, rewards, APIs, and node software may change while the network is hardened.

Rewards

Block Reward
50 COMPUTE

Current reward per mined block.

Transaction Fees
+ Fees

Miners also collect the transaction fees included in the block.

Halving Interval
210,000 blocks

The block reward halves at each interval.

Max Supply
21,000,000 COMPUTE

Fixed maximum supply of COMPUTE.

Getting Started

Mining runs as part of a ComputeNet node. Install a node and point it at Alpha Mainnet:

# Install a ComputeNet node (fresh Ubuntu VPS)
curl -fsSL https://get.compute-net.org | sh

# Start mining on Alpha Mainnet
computenet node start --chain computenet-mainnet-1 --mine

Nodes connect to the seed and gamma bootstrap endpoints automatically. See the validator setup guide for full instructions.

Network Endpoints

http://77.68.79.222:8792/computenetseed node
http://46.101.39.92:8892gamma node

Track mining output and chain state via the read-only API and block explorer:

/api/computenet/status      # network status & height
/api/computenet/chain       # full chain
/api/computenet/head        # latest block
/api/computenet/economics   # supply & rewards

Experimental

Alpha Mainnet is live but experimental. COMPUTE has no guaranteed value and is not offered for sale. Nothing here is investment advice or a promise of future value. Reward parameters and consensus rules may change while the network is hardened.
