2024 is coming to a close, and what a year it’s been—for all of us, and for Bitcoin. What started with volatility and uncertainty from the halving is now ending with the start of a long-awaited Bitcoin bull run. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a more exciting way to end this year.
For GoMining, 2024 was transformative. This year, we thought bigger, went heads down, and built. Most importantly, our ultimate goal for this year—facilitating exponential growth—has been achieved. Let's have a closer look.
Metrics & Milestones: 6,500,000 TH sold; 114,000+ digital miner holders
To date, we’ve sold nearly 6.5 EH worth of computing power, producing 3.8 Bitcoin DAILY for over 114,000 of our digital miner owners worldwide. 4.2 EH of that hashrate was sold this year—more than double last year’s total.
In 2024, we sold 169k digital miners, a massive leap from 20,4k units in 2023. Our utility token, GOMINING, also showed outstanding growth: its market cap doubled compared to the end of last year, despite what began as a very challenging year for the entire crypto industry. A total of 23,407,862 GOMINING tokens were burned, and 15,564,016 were distributed to veGomining holders (compared to 6,514,236 in 2023).
We’re proud to share these metrics, but the real story is about the people behind them. Mining isn’t a race for corporations—it’s about empowering individuals. Halving or not, everyone deserves the chance to mine digital gold.
Our community is our greatest asset. This year, we welcomed 101,175 new users, each gaining ownership of at least one digital miner. Most of this year’s updates were designed to support and strengthen our community.
Let’s dive into the details.
Gaming, Avatars, Referral program: Here’s How We Grew Our Community in 2024
This year, we focused on shipping many features and programs to help our community thrive. Let’s recap the main ones:
Win Big in Miner Wars
We launched a game that completely reimagined how Bitcoin mining can be approached. It took a blend of research, creativity, UX, and product design to make Miner Wars as seamless and smooth as possible.
In this GameFi setting, miners join forces in Clans, pooling computing power to win rounds and strategically deploy Boosts for maximum profit. Each round is synced with a blockchain block, and rewards are paid both in BTC (distributed among the winning clan) and GOMINING tokens (goes to one personal winner from that clan). Some rounds feature multipliers, offering up to x256 the normal reward.
Still in beta, the game has already attracted over 37,000 players across 278 clans in just a few months—and we can’t wait to launch its full version in 2025, where we’ll be adding many new features, including new leagues and mini-games.
Find Your GoMiner Avatar
We also launched GoMiner Avatars—far more than just a PFP collection. Each race unlocks unique perks tailored to your mining style.
If you’re a seasoned Miner Warrior, Sentinels give you an edge with Boost discounts to maximize your strategy. Prefer going solo? Human Avatars ensure your discount stays high while you mine independently. Want to focus on efficiency? Cryptiles are the way to go.
We introduced GoMiner Avatars because we wanted something that could go with you from miner to miner, be an identity across your socials, and work as both a collectible and a mining companion.
Keep Your Bonus Miner On!
We’ve revamped our trial program and expanded it to include existing users. Now, all GoMiners can kickstart (or boost) their mining journey with a free 16TH/s miner—just complete a few tasks to keep it running. Each task you complete extends the time your bonus miner stays active, helping you maximize your mining operation’s efficiency.
Tap Into Mining with GoBlocks
If you’re not a GoMiner yet, you can jumpstart your Bitcoin mining journey with GoBlocks, our Telegram mini-app built for Telegram’s 950-million-strong audience. It’s a fun and seamless way to enter the GoMining ecosystem directly through Telegram. And there’s more exciting news coming on that front soon!
5+5+5 = Rev share!
We’ve revamped our referral program with a very simple and efficient design. Copy your referral link in the app, invite your friends, and see the magic happen:
5% from Purchases and Upgrades
Earn 5% royalties every time your referrals generate or upgrade their miners.
5% from Boost Purchases in Miner Wars
You’ll also earn 5% royalties from all boosts your referrals buy in Miner Wars
5% cashback for your friends
When your friends sign up on GoMining for the first time using your referral link, they will get 5% cashback on their first created miners when they use your code at checkout—all the more reason for them to use your link!
Sign up for the Ambassador program
Already announced, our Ambassador program starts working on 1 January. It’s simple, really: champion our brand, and earn $0.005 on each kW spent by your referrals. And yes, it will be working on top of the existing 5+5+5 program.
Only the most loyal GoMiners will make the cut!
Flex your Achievements
To celebrate important milestones together, we’ve introduced Achievements. These are special stickers that visualize your miner’s rarity.
They can be obtained by performing special tasks like upgrading a digital miner or scoring blocks in Miner Wars, and the list keeps growing.
Once secured, achievement stickers always remain with the miner. If you sell the miner, the stickers go with it, bringing a new fun rarity dimension to our digital miners.
Try the new Bounty Program
We are looking forward to launching the updated bounty program. We took some time to make it smoother and more enjoyable for everyone based on your feedback.
Don’t worry: your Leaderboard standings and points will be carried over to the new program!
Our Community Means a TON
Another major milestone this year was expanding our token and digital miners to TON, one of the fastest-growing blockchains. With its focus on seamless UX, TON perfectly aligns with our vision of onboarding users into crypto effortlessly. This collaboration, featuring the limited-edition GoMining Whales miner collection, was an obvious step.
2025: The Year We Go Beyond Digital Mining
Now, let’s look ahead. Our exponential growth this year has laid the groundwork for an even bigger 2025.
As Bitcoin maximalists, we’re building more than a digital mining platform—we’re creating an entire ecosystem centered on Bitcoin, and we’re building it with mass adoption in mind. Our goal is to provide multiple ways to gain exposure to Bitcoin, empowering everyone to craft their own digital gold strategy beyond just passive mining.
This year, we took our first steps in that direction with DeFi features like Liquidity Pools and Swaps. Pools include a gamified leaderboard, letting users compete for extra $GOMINING rewards. Swaps make it seamless to exchange USDT and $GOMINING. These are part of our broader vision to expand opportunities for GoMiners while keeping value circulating within the ecosystem.
We’ve got big plans for the year ahead. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store over the next few months:
BTCfi Launchpad
Our Bitcoin Ecosystem Launchpad is launching soon, creating a new way to explore Bitcoin’s future in finance. It will provide early access to promising projects aligned with our mission of making Bitcoin more accessible—plus, it introduces another use case for $GOMINING tokens. Stay tuned for more details.
GoMining Virtual Cards
Virtual banking cards are on the way for KYC-verified users, letting you seamlessly fund purchases and services directly from your GoMining wallet. It’s another step toward bridging the gap between crypto and everyday transactions.
New Blockchain Expansion
We’re expanding to a major blockchain very soon. While we can’t share the name just yet, let’s just say it’s one you’re familiar with.
Growing Core Infrastructure
Our ecosystem relies on a strong foundation, with datacenters spanning multiple regions. In 2025, we’ll focus on the US—starting in Texas, where we’ve already deployed hashrate. We see this region as a critical hub for Bitcoin growth, with sentiment shifting positively at every level.
Bitcoin Vegas
We’re heading to Bitcoin Vegas in May as top-tier sponsors! We’re also bringing a very special guest whose appearance will signal the start of an exciting new chapter for GoMining.
Looking Ahead
Summing up, 2024 was a year of growth, building, and breakthroughs. 2025 will be the year we establish a whole new ecosystem built around Bitcoin.
Thank you for being part of this journey—we can’t wait to accomplish more together.
