Short answer:

Within 3 business days of successful payment.

How first payouts work

Your first payout follows a simple, multi-step process to ensure your contract is fully set up and mining correctly.


Step 1: Payment confirmation (Day 0–1)

Once your payment is successfully received and confirmed:

  • Your order is finalized

  • Your contract becomes eligible for activation

This step typically completes within 1 business day of payment.


Step 2: Contract activation (Day 1–2)

After payment confirmation:

  • Hashrate is assigned

  • Mining begins

  • Your contract is marked Active

Contract activation occurs within 1 business day after payment confirmation.


Step 3: First payout eligibility (By Day 3)

Once mining is active:

  • Rewards begin accruing immediately

  • Your first payout is evaluated within 2 business days of contract activation

A payout is sent once your balance reaches:

When the threshold is met, rewards are sent directly to your wallet.

Why payouts may take slightly longer

You may not see a payout immediately if:

  • Your mining rewards have not yet reached the payout threshold

  • Network fees temporarily increase, affecting minimum payout amounts

  • Weekends or holidays delay business-day processing

Rest assured, rewards continue to accrue until a payout is triggered.
