Gomining Product Townhall

The Spaces is a product town hall from GoMining, hosted by Yuan with Chief Product Officer Dan. It focuses on three areas: wallets, the Academy, and the Miner Wars game. On wallets, Dan detailed the Fireblocks-backed custodial wallet, imminent additions of Solana and TON (with Arbitrum and Base to follow for stablecoins), faster/cheaper transactions, broader crypto-to-crypto swaps, and strong adoption of token locking via virtual locks, with multi-lock support coming. He outlined a 2025 virtual/physical Mastercard linked to the custodial wallet (spend BTC, GoMining Token, and stablecoins; no fees; TH/s cashback), a Simple Earn product launching in about a month (one-click, daily BTC payouts on idle assets), and an R&D-stage non‑custodial Web3 wallet aiming for near-instant, low-cost Bitcoin payments. The Academy recap highlighted ~month‑one traction, a steady cadence of articles/guides, a Basics course due by end‑September with higher rewards, an Ambassador course, a 2025 blockchain primer, and a 200+ term glossary. For Miner Wars, Dan announced new Echo and Focus boosts, anti-bot measures (with penalties), a revised league/graduation system to balance play, plans for cheaper spell discounts and a sandbox onboarding, and a fairness-first approach to weekly prize distribution. A one-day 5% code (product5) for digital miners was shared.

Wallets and Custody: Security, Utility, and Roadmap

Current State and Vision

  • Custodial wallet launched in 2025 as part of evolving from a mining-focused app to a broader crypto earning platform.
  • Purpose: beyond storage—be the primary hub to interact with crypto assets inside the GoMining ecosystem (store BTC, convert to GoMining Token for governance/tokenomics utility, and optimize earnings).
  • Custody infrastructure: built on Fireblocks to secure user funds and support regulatory compliance across markets.

Asset, Network, and Conversion Enhancements

  • Supported networks expansion:
    • This week: Solana (SOL) and TON for deposits/withdrawals.
    • Next: Arbitrum and Base for stablecoins.
  • Transaction system optimizations are in progress for faster, more cost-effective transfers.
  • Conversion improvements: moving from “to GoMining Token only” to crypto-to-crypto swaps within custody, broadening utility.

Token Operations and Locks

  • In-app staking and governance: users can stake GoMining Tokens directly in-app without connecting an external Web3 wallet, making tokenomics and governance more accessible.
  • Milestone: ~150 million GoMining Tokens locked (over one-third of total supply), increasing TVL and token stability.
  • Virtual locks & multi-locks:
    • Virtual locks have driven adoption; ~90% of positions were opened via virtual locks.
    • Less than 18% of remaining tokens are currently held in custody (team frames this as strong traction for custodial plus locks).
    • Planned: multiple lock functionality per account to support nuanced strategies (e.g., separate lock durations/amounts rather than one large lock up to 4 years).

Card Integration (Mastercard)

  • Product: Virtual and physical Mastercard cards linked to the GoMining custodial wallet.
  • Spendable assets: mined BTC, GoMining Tokens, and major crypto (including stablecoins) already available in the system.
  • Pricing: targeted no transaction fees, and no monthly or annual management fees.
  • Rewards: cashback awarded in terahashes/hashrate on purchases for GoMining card holders.
  • Timeline: first announced early 2025; banking partners with favorable rates and stability secured; clear launch dates expected to be announced in September; goal to ship this year.

Simple Earn (Flexible Daily Yield in BTC)

  • Product: “Simple Earn” for custodial users to earn daily interest on idle crypto with payouts in Bitcoin.
  • Characteristics:
    • One-click to start and one-click to redeem; flexible, low-friction experience similar to flexible earn products on other platforms.
    • Lower risk profile relative to mining (and correspondingly lower returns).
    • Assets deployed to lending, staking, and farming via integrations with top-tier DeFi protocols.
    • Withdraw interest and exit at any time.
  • Timeline: planned launch in about a month.

Non-Custodial Web3 Wallet (Bitcoin-focused, R&D)

  • Concept: a GoMining non-custodial wallet functioning as a top layer for Bitcoin to enable decentralized, near-instant, and commission-free BTC transactions.
  • Status: in R&D with substantive progress on design and mechanics; emphasis on practical implementation.
  • Partnerships: collaborating with institutions and major market players for adoption and real-world integration.
  • Next steps: more details to be shared by marketing next month.

Academy: Onboarding, Education, and Growth

  • Adoption (first month+):
    • ~200,000 users interacted with Academy content.
    • ~50,000 users completed the first course and earned bonus mining days.
  • Role in ecosystem: a separate onboarding path introducing mining/crypto fundamentals and security best practices before investment decisions; supports safer, more informed participation.

Content Expansion and Near-Term Pipeline

    • Completion reward: extra bonus mining days (more than the previous course).
  • GoMining Ambassador course:
    • Three short lessons to explain referral and ambassador programs.

  • 2025 course: Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies fundamentals (blockchain mechanics, crypto primitives, and Web3 features).
  • Glossary: 200+ terms to standardize concepts and improve comprehension across the Web3/crypto domain.

Miner Wars: Fairness, Balance, and Growth Path

New Spells and Round Mechanics

  • Added in the past three months: Echo Boost and Focus Boost.
  • Design principle: most spells (except Copy Boost) tie to round-end factors with varying point accumulation by round length.
  • Fairness safeguard: no early access to Bitcoin block mining info; rounds synchronized with the Bitcoin blockchain.
  • Operational control: short activation delays on certain boosts; ongoing monitoring.

Anti-Abuse and Competitive Integrity

  • Addressed client/tool imbalances via:
    • Anti-bot measures and hidden fingerprint challenges to reduce automated boost activations and non-interactive decision tools.
    • Enforcement: >130 users received temporary or permanent restrictions.
  • Prize scale: weekly distribution exceeds $1M worth of prizes, which increases incentives to probe for exploits—hence continuous monitoring and response.

League Subdivision (introduced in June)

  • Purpose: balance clans by capability, activity, and size; prevent abuse such as repeated clan re-openings.
  • Mechanism: each cycle, clans in the league are collected, reshuffled, and distributed across multiple leagues to maintain parity.
  • Impact observed: increased value of hashrate in-game and more conservative, strategic spell usage—favorable for fair players.

Copy Boost Status and Balance Priorities

  • Copy Boost concept: a distinct mechanic where players strategize based on others’ actions rather than round dynamics.
  • Current stance: promising idea but requires more groundwork; balance remains the top priority.
  • Near-term focus:
    • Expanding leagues and limiting excessive clan growth
    • Building in-house accessible tools for compliant automation
    • Updating spell effectiveness coefficients
    • Optimizing stability at scale

Roadmap: Spells, Discounts, and Onboarding

  • New spells: under development with interaction techniques different from basic boosts.
  • Personal power-ups: strong adoption; reinforce fundamentals (base score and the importance of one’s real mining farm).
  • Discounts: more affordable ways to get spell discounts are planned (akin to familiar “Sentinels” offers).
  • Onboarding: full rebuild with a sandbox to let new users test spells, understand mechanics, and make better decisions before committing resources.

Ecosystem Role and Community

  • Miner Wars as an acquisition path: alongside Cards and Academy, the game can onboard users who may initially prefer weekly prize pools over daily mining returns.
  • Appreciation: special thanks to clan owners who act as community leaders and Miner Wars ambassadors—onboarding newcomers, teaching mechanics, and serving as primary touchpoints for GoMining’s broader ecosystem.

Exclusive Offer Announced

  • 5% discount on new digital miners for live listeners only.
  • Promo code: product5
  • Validity: today only; not shared on social channels.
