How to Mint

Single Mint

Choosing Parameters

Mint Power determines cost and reward scaling:
Mint PowerETH Cost MultiplierUse Case
250.25xLower risk, smaller positions
500.50xBalanced
1001.00xMaximum reward per mint
Duration (1-280 days): Longer mints produce more LODE, but you wait longer to claim. A small daily reduction (0.11%) slightly reduces per-day rewards for longer mints.

Example

At a mint cost of 0.005 ETH:
PowerCostApproximate Reward
250.00125 ETH~25% of max reward
500.0025 ETH~50% of max reward
1000.005 ETHFull reward

Batch Mint

Create up to 100 mints in one transaction with the same parameters. The total ETH cost is for all mints combined. Saves gas compared to individual mints.
Batch minting locks in the same parameters for all mints and is significantly cheaper on gas.

Claiming

Single Claim

Claim one specific mint by its ID. The mint must be matured.

Batch Claim

Claim up to 100 matured mints in a single transaction. Processes mints in order of creation.

Maximizing Rewards

  1. Mint early — the EAA bonus decays to zero by day ~350, and daily mintable LODE decreases over time
  2. Burn LODE first — build up your burn amplifier bonus (up to 8%) before creating new mints
  3. Use a referral — the 5% LODE bonus applies to every mint
  4. Claim on time — late penalties destroy up to 99% of your reward
  5. Use batch mint — saves gas and locks in the same parameters for all mints
