# Mining Mechanics **Mining Rounds** * **Interval:** Every 30 seconds. * **Process:** Each round presents an opportunity for Miners to mine tokens. The outcome is determined by the proximity of a miner's submitted entropy value to the server-generated entropy. * **Rewards:** Successful miners receive token rewards for each won round, which are credited to their balances. #### Token Accumulation * **Earning Tokens:** Tokens are mined during successful rounds and added to the miner's balance. * **Claiming Tokens:** Miners can claim accumulated tokens at any time, which increments their token balance and impacts the **0-Trust Policy**. * **Claim Fee:** Each token claim is subject to a **2.38% fee**, which is automatically deducted from the claimed amount and directed to the **Treasury**. This fee supports the ongoing development and sustainability of the Useless Brick ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
