# Mining Guide

One of the unique features of Omega Terminal is the ability to participate in the network's specialized **Proof of Browser** mining mechanism.

## How to Mine

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Connect Wallet

Type `connect` to connect your crypto wallet. You need an address to receive rewards.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Start Mining

Type `mine`.

* The terminal will start computing hashes.
* You will see a visual representation of the mining process (blocks, hashrate).
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Automatic Relaying

The terminal uses a backend relayer to submit your valid hashes to the blockchain. You do **not** need to pay gas fees for every hash submission; the relayer handles this.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Stop Mining

Type `stop` to end the session.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Claiming Rewards

As you mine, your balance accumulates in the mining contract. To withdraw your earnings to your wallet:

{% code title="Claim rewards" %}

```bash
claim
```

{% endcode %}

This will trigger a transaction to transfer the OMEGA tokens to your connected wallet address.

## Faucet Access

If you are on the testnet and need funds to get started (for gas fees or testing):

{% code title="Request faucet tokens" %}

```bash
faucet
```

{% endcode %}

This will drop a small amount of OMEGA tokens to your address. Note that faucets usually have a 24-hour cooldown.
