# Merged Mining

MERGED-MINE-MOOREEE

We recognize hashrate as the key measure of player contribution. Those who actively upgrade and expand their stores will earn additional rewards on top of regular $DCA token.

To support long-term ecosystem growth, Jeet Donalds will introduce merged mining through direct integrations with partner projects. These partners will plug into the store simulation, helping build a flywheel for fair and scalable token distribution — similar to how Bitcoin miners can mine multiple PoW tokens using the same infrastructure.

More details on partner projects and reward structures will be announced soon.
