Overview

Yield Mine is an attention-mining protocol on Robinhood Chain. Advertisers rent cells on a 36-cell grid. Miners stake on the cells they back. Every 60 seconds one cell is drawn, and everything staked on the rest of the grid settles to that cell’s miners.

What makes it different from the attention markets it descends from is where the advertising money goes. A fifth of every campaign buys tokenised real-world assets, held in a reserve the protocol never spends down. Only what that reserve earns flows back — into the reward pool and into buybacks.

Attention pays once. Assets keep paying.

The grid

The grid is six by six, addressed A1 through F6. A cell is either let to an advertiser or open. Renting a cell buys display rights for a fixed run — 7, 14 or 30 days — and the mark shown on it is what every miner sees while they play.

Miners are not restricted to let cells. Any cell can be staked, and an open cell wins as often as a rented one.

The draw

An epoch lasts 60 seconds. Deposits are accepted until the last few seconds, when the grid seals and the draw resolves. Every cell has the same 2.78% chance, whatever is staked on it.

The winning cell’s miners split everything staked on the other 35 cells, in proportion to their own stake on the winner, less the 10% protocol fee. Stake on a losing cell is not returned.

Revenue schedule

Campaign budgets and the 10% fee on deposits are split the same way, every time:

RWA reserve

The reserve holds tokenised treasuries, private credit, real estate and commodities. It is additive: purchases only ever go in, and the principal is not drawn down to pay rewards.

The yield it produces is what returns to the protocol, split between the reward pool and buyback-and-burn. That is the sense in which a campaign that ran once keeps paying the grid.

What is live

Deployed on Robinhood Chain, 10 September 2026. The token, the drand beacon, the grid and the furnace are on the chain and this interface reads them directly: the epoch, the stake on every cell, the settled draws, the fee waiting in the furnace and the yMINE burnt so far are all chain state, not figures made up for a demonstration.

Mining is live. Choose a cell, enter an amount of USDG, and the interface asks your wallet for an approval and then a deposit against the grid contract. Deposits close ten seconds before an epoch ends, and the panel refuses rather than sending a transaction that would revert.

Not deployed: the liquidity pool for yMINE, so the token cannot be bought or sold yet and the furnace has nothing to buy with a fee. Advertiser campaigns and the real-world asset reserve have no contract either: those sections describe where the protocol is going, and the campaign form still reports that nothing was submitted, because nothing was.

FAQ

Can I lose what I deposit?

Yes. A deposit on a cell that is not drawn is not returned — it settles to the miners of the cell that was. Only the winning cell pays out. Mine what you can afford to lose.

Are all cells equally likely?

Yes. Every one of the 36 cells is drawn with the same probability, regardless of how much is staked on it. Staking more on a cell raises your share of that cell's payout, not its chance of winning.

Do I need to hold a token to mine?

No. A wallet with USDG on Robinhood Chain is enough.

What happens when a campaign ends?

The cell reopens and can be rented again. The assets its budget bought stay in the reserve and keep earning.

Where does the yield actually come from?

Two places. The reward pool comes from what other miners staked that round. The yield comes from the reserve's holdings — tokenised treasuries, credit, real estate and commodities — which pay whether or not anyone is mining.
