Mining Calculator — What You Get Per Round

The Mining Calculator helps you estimate how many rounds a BNB deposit will last and what you earn per round — in both BNB and WELEPHANT.

What Happens Each Round

Every round, the total pot is distributed:

• 90% back to winners as BNB (proportional to their share of the winning square)
• 5% back to winners as WELEPHANT tokens
• 2% to the staking vault (yield for stakers)
• 2% to the PAYDAY jackpot fund
• 1% admin

You get back ~95% of value per round as BNB + WELEPHANT. The effective cost of playing is around 5-6% per round (including the 1% auto-play gas tax).

The Fun Part

• PAYDAY (1/625 rounds) — the jackpot fund accumulates every round. When it triggers, winners split the entire accumulated pot — often 10-100x a normal round's WELEPHANT reward. The longer you play, the more likely you're there when it hits.
• Single Winner (50% of rounds) — one player takes the entire winning square's BNB + WELEPHANT payout. High variance, high excitement.
• Looping — compound BNB winnings back into more rounds automatically, stretching your deposit further.

The WELEPHANT Flywheel

Every round, 10% of the BNB pot buys WELEPHANT on the open market. More rounds played means more buy pressure. More buy pressure means your accumulated WELEPHANT is worth more. Your mining rewards from yesterday grow in value as today's rounds add more demand.

Stake your WELEPHANT and you earn from every round played by anyone — not just your own. The 2% staking vault allocation feeds stakers in perpetuity.

Early Miner Strategy

Early miners have outsized impact on the flywheel:

1. Buy a staked moonbag — acquire and stake WELEPHANT to earn passive yield from all future mining activity.
2. Mine actively — your participation drives volume and token value, making your staked position worth more.

Using the Calculator

The Mining Calculator on the Mine page lets you input:

• Amount per square — how much BNB to bet on each square per round
• Number of squares — how many squares to cover (1 to 16)
• Number of rounds — how many rounds to play
• Deposit amount — total BNB to deposit (auto-calculated or manual)

It shows your estimated BNB return per round, WELEPHANT earned per round, and how many rounds your deposit will last.
