When Ethereum switched off its miners, mining lost its home. TanzMine brings it back as a smart contract: commit ETH, mine TANZ, and watch 80% of every mining fee buy TANZ back and burn it. No rigs, no electricity bills, no middleman.
Nobody gets TANZ for free. Not the team, not insiders, not early investors.
Each block, miners point ETH at 25 seams on the TanzMine lattice. When the block closes, a public random beacon strikes one seam, and the block reward goes to the miners on it.
Pick a strategy (spread across every seam, target the quietest ones, or hunt solo seams) and commit ETH. Your share of a seam is your share of its hashrate. Most of your ETH comes back when the block closes.
One seam strikes. Pool seams split the TANZ reward pro-rata. Solo seams pay the whole block to one miner, weighted by hashrate. The Motherlode jackpot builds every block.
80% of every mining fee buys TANZ on the market and burns it, so the supply keeps shrinking while you hold. Nothing to stake, nothing to lock.
Everything proof-of-work miners knew, without the hardware.
| Proof-of-work mining | TanzMine |
|---|---|
| Electricity and hardware | The mining fee: 1% of ETH on the struck seam, 10.9% elsewhere (≈10.5% on average) |
| Hashrate | ETH committed to seams each block |
| Block reward and halvings | 1 TANZ per block, halving each time half the remaining supply is mined |
| Pool mining | Pool seams: steady, shared payouts |
| Solo mining | Solo seams: rarer, whole-block payouts |
| Coins getting scarcer | 80% of protocol revenue buys TANZ and burns it forever |
Every mining fee flows through a revenue router whose split is fixed in the contract. It can't be changed later, by anyone.
Buys TANZ on Uniswap and burns it in the same transaction. Every holder benefits as supply shrinks, with nothing to stake or claim.
Funds development, audits and the keeper that runs mining every minute.
Named after tanzanite, a gem found in only one place on Earth. TANZ is just as finite.
A mining protocol is only as good as its randomness and its rules. Both are public and checkable.
Struck seams come from the drand public randomness beacon, and each result is verified on-chain with a BLS signature check. The draw is fixed only after the block closes, and the keeper that delivers it can't choose or change it.
Rewards, fees, supply and the revenue split are immutable. There's no owner who can mint, pause or redirect funds. Claims are pull-based, so the contract never has to loop over miners.
