How Gold Digger Works
A step-by-step explanation of the Gold Digger platform's core processes and user interactions.
User Journey
User Authentication
Users connect their Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.) to the Gold Digger platform. This establishes a secure connection and authenticates the user's identity through their wallet's public key.
Technical Details:
- Wallet adapter integration using @solana/wallet-adapter
- Message signing for secure authentication
- Session management with JWT tokens
NFT Minting
Users can mint new NFTs from available collections. Each NFT has unique attributes and rarity levels that determine its mining power and value within the ecosystem.
Technical Details:
- Metaplex Candy Machine integration for NFT minting
- On-chain metadata storage with Arweave
- Randomized attribute generation with verifiable randomness
Marketplace Trading
The Gold Digger marketplace allows users to buy, sell, and trade their NFTs. The marketplace supports various listing types, including fixed price and auction formats.
Technical Details:
- Escrow-based trading system for secure transactions
- Royalty enforcement for creators
- Real-time price updates and order matching
Staking & Mining
Users can stake their NFTs and $GOLD tokens to earn passive income. The staking mechanism simulates mining operations, with rewards distributed based on the mining power of staked assets.
Technical Details:
- Time-locked staking contracts with variable reward rates
- Mining power calculation based on NFT attributes
- Automated reward distribution via Solana programs
Rewards & Governance
$GOLD tokens earned through staking can be used for platform governance, allowing token holders to vote on proposals and platform changes. Additional utility includes access to premium features and special events.
