Mine turns your phone into a node that earns. Mine is a mesh-mining rewards app built on the Offline Protocol. Your phone becomes part of a decentralized peer-to-peer network, relaying messages and data over Bluetooth and WiFi Direct with no internet required. Every connection you make helps the network grow, and every contribution earns you points. HOW IT WORKS Tap Start Mining on the Home screen and your phone begins discovering nearby devices and relaying data for the network. The more you mine, the more you earn. It runs quietly in the background through a low-power mesh service, so you keep earning even when the app is minimized. A persistent "Mesh Active" notification lets you know the network is live. Background location powers nearby peer discovery and progress on geo-fenced missions. MISSIONS & REWARDS Stack up bonus points with daily, weekly, and monthly missions. Step into flagged zones on the Network map to unlock geo missions and location-based rewards. Keep your daily streak alive to multiply everything you earn. NETWORK MAP Watch the mesh come alive around you. Flags mark geo missions waiting nearby. Dots trace where other devices have traveled. See your node's connections multiply in real time. REFERRALS & LEADERBOARD Share your referral code or QR and earn every time a friend joins. Then climb the global leaderboard and stake your claim at the top. WALLET Link your Ethereum or Solana wallet to lock in your progress. Your points and rewards are tracked and ready for future on-chain distribution. PERMISSIONS • Bluetooth, required for peer-to-peer mesh connections • Location including background, required for peer discovery and geo-fenced missions • Notifications, for mission alerts, peer connections, and streak reminders
