Build Fields. Place Miners. Mine $EPOCH.
Epoch Forge is built on Base as an on-chain mining field game with ERC721 miner NFTs, sequential field upgrades, fixed-supply $EPOCH, and a Genesis Launch Pool that starts gameplay before public liquidity opens.
Player Quick Start
New players should understand the game in one pass: activate a field, receive the starter miner, use $EPOCH or gEPOCH to grow, place stronger miners, and claim rewards after the relevant launch rules.
1Connect WalletUse a Base-compatible wallet. Genesis Launch Pool accepts Base ETH only.
2Start GamePay 0.015 ETH to open L1 and receive one account-bound starter miner.
3Place MinersEach slot checks field level, free space, and available GW power.
4Upgrade FieldHigher fields unlock more slots and stronger miner classes.
5Mine And ClaimRewards are based on your active GH/s share of total active network GH/s.
Genesis Launch Pool
Genesis uses gEPOCH, the Epoch Genesis Token. The Genesis Token has a fixed 5,000,000 supply for the launch window and is used for Genesis field upgrades, miner purchases, native miner-market trades, and Genesis Capsule draws. It can circulate between players, but Epoch Forge does not create an official public liquidity pool for it. After public trading opens, remaining gEPOCH can still be consumed by official game systems for miner purchases and field upgrades; any remaining balance gap is paid in $EPOCH.
| Tier | Price | Allocation | Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ignition | $0.04 | 1,000,000 gEPOCH | Base ETH only |
| Forge | $0.06 | 1,500,000 gEPOCH | Base ETH only |
| Orbit | $0.08 | 1,500,000 gEPOCH | Base ETH only |
| Launch | $0.10 | 1,000,000 gEPOCH | Base ETH only |
The 5,000,000 $EPOCH backing allocation is permanently burned after Genesis closes. This prevents Genesis-phase game tokens from becoming public-market sell pressure.
Facility Atlas
Facilities are the player's mining spaces. They define how many miners can be placed and how much GW power can be used. Upgrades are sequential from L1 to L9.
L2 Voltage Quarry45 $EPOCH / 8 slotsFirst upgrade tier. L1 to L2 has no first-time waiting lock.
L3 Reactor Expanse115 $EPOCH / 12 slotsUnlocks stronger early industrial miners and larger placement layouts.
L8 Portal Megafield I980 $EPOCH / 42 slotsLarge late-game field built for dense high-output mining layouts.
L9 Portal Megafield II1,380 $EPOCH / 42 slotsHighest current field with the largest power ceiling.

Miner NFT Atlas
Paid, capsule, and marketplace miners are ERC721 NFTs. Each NFT has a unique token id and a miner type. Starter miners are account-bound entry assets, not NFTs and not tradable.

Mining Emission Formula
Mining rewards are released by Base block. Player rewards are calculated from active hashrate share.
Player reward per block = block reward x player active GH/s / total active network GH/s
Initial block reward = 2 $EPOCH / Base block
Halving plan = block reward reduces by 50% every 2,100,000 Base blocks
| Halving Stage | Base Block Range | Block Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Genesis Stage | 0 - 2,099,999 | 2 $EPOCH / block |
| Halving 1 | 2,100,000 - 4,199,999 | 1 $EPOCH / block |
| Halving 2 | 4,200,000 - 6,299,999 | 0.5 $EPOCH / block |
| Halving 3 | 6,300,000 - 8,399,999 | 0.25 $EPOCH / block |
Player-facing rewards are shown in the dashboard through local hashrate, total network hashrate, and claimable balance.
Genesis Capsule: Try Your Luck For Stronger Miners
Genesis Capsule is a limited launch event that spends gEPOCH and mints official ERC721 miner NFTs. Players who want a chance to obtain stronger miners through luck can try the capsule machine during Genesis.
Genesis Capsule is open only during the Genesis launch window. Once official public launch begins, the capsule machine will be permanently closed.
| Draw | Cost | Public Guarantee |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Draw | 300 gEPOCH | No guarantee |
| 5 Draw | 1,450 gEPOCH | At least one T5+ reward |
| 10 Draw | 2,800 gEPOCH | At least one T7+ reward |
| Tier Group | Miner Types | Public Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Common | T1-T3 | 64% |
| Uncommon | T4-T5 | 19% |
| Rare | T6-T8 | 12% |
| Epic | T9-T10 | 4% |
| Legendary | T11 | 0.75% |
| Mythic | T12 | 0.25% |
Capsule rewards are minted as official ERC721 miner NFTs. Genesis Capsule is a launch-period feature and is designed to close after Genesis ends.
Claim, Market, Referral
- During Genesis, mining rewards accrue and remain visible in the dashboard.
- After Genesis closes and public trading opens, Genesis-period rewards can be claimed through same-day 50%, 3-day 70%, or 7-day 100% options.
- Post-Genesis players use the standard claim flow without the Genesis-period release menu.
- The native player market supports official ERC721 miner trading in gEPOCH during Genesis and $EPOCH after public trading opens, with 0% native marketplace fee.
- Referral binding occurs only when a referred wallet completes paid game activation through a valid invite link.
Transparency And Security
Epoch Forge is designed around contract-enforced rules: paid entry, one starter miner per activated account, official NFT ownership checks, field checks, slot checks, power capacity checks, spend routing, and Base ETH-only Genesis Launch Pool settlement.
- Official game systems only recognize the official Epoch Forge miner NFT contract address.
- Official miner and field upgrade spending permanently burns 75% through the game-spend mechanism.
- Contract addresses will be published after deployment and verification.
- Before public launch, Epoch Forge will complete testnet validation, internal security testing, and contract review.
