How Tier-Based Mining Works on MAQ
Community mining on MAQ is designed to be fair, predictable, and free of hardware requirements. You open one session per 24 hours, wait for it to complete, and then manually claim your reward.
The 24-hour session
When you press Start, the server opens a 24-hour window tied to your account. You do not need to keep any tab open — the timer is authoritative on the backend. When the countdown ends, the session becomes claimable.
Manual claim, always
Claims are never automatic. Once the countdown reaches zero, you press Claim to credit the reward to your MAQ points balance. Your referrer automatically receives a 10% bonus on top of your claim.
The five allocation tiers
Rewards scale with how large the community is. As the platform grows, the pool share per user shrinks in a predictable curve:
- Genesis — up to 100,000 users, 20% pool share.
- Pioneer — up to 200,000 users, 15%.
- Builder — up to 300,000 users, 10%.
- Growth — up to 500,000 users, 5%.
- Network — 500,000+ users, 3%.
The current tier is displayed live on the Mining page. Early participants naturally receive the largest allocations — that is the incentive to onboard your community early.
