STX Mining Challenge Part 1
December 21, 2020 - January 4, 2021
The first part of the STX Mining Challenge will test your ability to mine on the Krypton infrastructure of the Stacks 2.0 Testnet. The challenge will be a mad dash to win as many mining rewards as possible, while spending the least amount of BTC. Every participant who successfully mines a block will receive some amount of reward.

STX Mining is easy and doesn't require any special hardware. Miners simply spend testnet Bitcoin to compete to mine.
Coming Soon:
Part 2: Onboard to Mainnet
Dates TBD
The second part of the STX Mining Challenge will prepare you for the mainnet launch of Stacks 2.0. More information to come soon!


Coming Soon:
STX Mining Challenge Part 3
Dates TBD
The third part of the STX Mining Challenge will no longer be on testnet, but the Stacks 2.0 mainnet itself. Part 3 begins as soon as the Stacks 2.0 mainnet launches and the first block is mined, and last for the first month of the network. Miners will be able to receive rewards above and beyond the normal STX block reward and transaction fee incentives of the network.
