TrenchMineTrenchMine knowledge base
How the entire platform works.
A complete explanation of accounts, rigs, multi-coin rewards, upgrades, balances, withdrawals, market requests, and the conditions that affect availability.
01 / Overview
A unified reward platform
TrenchMine gives each account one controllable rig. The free Surface Rig rewards ANSEM, CATECOIN, and PUMPFUN together while it is running. Users do not select one of the three original coins; each is tracked in its own balance and pool.
One rig
Start, stop, monitor, and collect from Mine.
Multiple rewards
Eligible coins accrue into separate balances.
Clear records
Operations and account activity remain visible.
02 / Reward coins
The original three coins
The free rig includes all three original reward streams. Their logos and balances are shown independently so users can understand what has accrued and what can be collected.
ANSEM
The current externally settled reward asset. Eligible ANSEM can be sent to a valid Solana wallet when treasury payouts are available.
CATECOIN
One of the three original reward pools included with every Surface Rig account.
PUMPFUN
One of the three original reward pools included with every Surface Rig account.
03 / Equipment
Permanent rigs and upgrades
Every account begins with the free Surface Rig. Paid upgrades are sequential and permanent. Paid rigs increase rewards and include future markets after those markets pass review and are funded.
| Rig | Price | Coverage | Reward level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface Rig | Free | Original three coins | Base rewards |
| Deep Core I | $15 | All approved coins | 2× rewards |
| Deep Core II | $30 | All approved coins | 3× rewards |
| Black Rock | $45 | All approved coins | 4× rewards |
| Trench Master | $60 | All approved coins | 5× rewards |
04 / Operations
Starting, stopping, and collecting
Start: turning the rig on begins eligible accrual. The rig must remain online for rewards to accrue.
Stop: turning the rig off pauses future accrual; it does not remove already recorded balances.
Collect: collection moves pending coin rewards into the relevant available balance. Each coin is accounted for separately.
Availability: rewards depend on active coin configuration, funded global pools, conversion settings, and treasury services. There is no daily account ceiling.
05 / Settlement
Balances and withdrawals
Account balances
The dashboard shows pending, collected, and historical mining amounts for eligible coins.
ANSEM settlement
The current withdrawal flow sends eligible ANSEM from the SPL-token treasury to a validated Solana address. Minimums and treasury readiness apply.
06 / Future markets
How new coins become eligible
Authenticated users can request Solana, Ethereum, or Robinhood-listed markets. A request reaching 50 unique supporters becomes eligible for manual review. Support does not guarantee activation: contract validity, market availability, liquidity, treasury funding, and operational risk are reviewed first. Approved future coins are available to paid rigs.
07 / Security and disclosures
What users should know
- Rewards are not guaranteed and can change with configured conversion rates, liquidity, funded pools, fees, or token availability.
- Users should verify destination wallet addresses before submitting withdrawals; blockchain transfers cannot be reversed.
- Equipment purchases are permanent account upgrades, not ownership of physical mining hardware.
- Market requests and supporter counts are screening inputs, not promises of listing or payout support.
- TrenchMine is DigiByte-inspired; DigiByte's native currency remains DGB.
