## Game Rules:

All players can spend BNB to collect BNB Gems in a Level. \
If a Level is completed (all BNB Gems collected), a new Level starts. \
If a Level is not completed, then the current Game ends, the prize pool is split and a new Game will start later. \
Level time limit: 1200 BSC Blocks ≈ 1 hour. \
Time between Levels in 20 BSC Blocks ≈ 1 minute.

{% hint style="info" %}
All time in the Mining Space game is calculated based on standard timestamps obtained from the blockchain by ChainLink.
{% endhint %}

## BNB Returns:

When a Level's time limit (1200 blocks ≈ 1 hour) is reached:

1. Level completed (all BNB Gems collected): \
   a. Current Level's 50% BNB returned immediately\
   b. 57% BNB will be returned after 3 more completed Levels.&#x20;
2. Level not completed (BNB Gems remaining): \
   Current Level's 100% BNB returned immediately.

## Quick Example:

L1 (completed) = Returned 50% + 57% BNB

L2 (completed) = Returned 50% BNB (The remaining 50% will be added to the prize pool when the Game ends)&#x20;

L3 (completed) = Returned 50% BNB

L4 (completed) = Returned 50% BNB

L5 (not completed) = All participants split 70% prize pool + Biggest spenders split 10% prize pool

## Prize pool composition:

1. 20% of the previous Game's prize pool.&#x20;
2. 2% every completed Level's BNB spendings in this Game.&#x20;
3. 50% of the total BNB spendings of the fourth last Game.

## Prize pool splitting:

1. All participants of the last Level split 70% of the prize pool.
2. The biggest spenders of the last Level split 10% of the prize pool.&#x20;
3. The remaining 20% is added to the next Game's prize pool.

## Purchasing Limit:

Each Level has a maximum purchase limit, starting at 10%. If three consecutive Levels are sold out within 60 blocks (about 3 minutes), the limit will decrease by 1%, with a minimum limit of 1%.

## Beacon Rewards:

Purchasing BNB Gems with BNB in Mining Space will entitle you to a proportional amount of Beacons rewards. BNB Gems and Beacons will be included in future platform gameplay. And token rewards will be airdropped before the next new gameplay goes live.

## **Referral Rewards**

1. After the invited user joins the Mining Space, the inviter will receive a reward of 1% of the BNB total spent by the invited user on mining BNB Gems.&#x20;
2. The referral rewards will be distributed 3 levels after the BNB spending.
3. The referral chain is only one level deep. For example, if A invites B, B invites C, B and C both played in the game, then A can only receive 1% of the BNB total spent by B.
