› Quick Start
IRONTOWN is an onchain idle mining game built on the Solana blockchain. Players hire miners, send them into the mine, and earn a share of global $IRON emissions based on their Mining Production Rate (MPR).
⛏ Core Gameplay
IRONTOWN is built around one simple objective: Build the strongest mining operation in town.
Players hire miners with different rarities and production rates. Once deployed to the mine, each miner contributes its MPR to the player's total production power.
Your combined MPR determines your percentage of the entire IRONTOWN network MPR — which determines your share of global $IRON emissions.
Growing in IRONTOWN isn't only about hiring more miners. Through the Marriage & Family system, eligible miners can marry and potentially bring a new miner into your family. The rarity of the married miners influences the potential rarity of the new miner.
⛏ Miners
Miners are the heart of IRONTOWN. Every miner has a Mining Production Rate (MPR) that represents their digging power. Higher-tier miners provide more MPR, increasing their owner's share of global $IRON emissions.
⛏ The Mine
The mine is where your miners work. Miners must be deployed to participate in active production.
Once working, each eligible miner contributes its MPR toward your total production power. As your workforce grows, your mining operation becomes increasingly powerful.
★ Mining Production Rate — MPR
MPR is the core production metric of IRONTOWN. Every miner contributes a specific amount of MPR while actively working. Your combined MPR determines your share of the IRONTOWN network.
Network Share Formula
Example:
Your Total MPR: 10,000
Total Network MPR: 1,000,000
Your Network Share: 10,000 ÷ 1,000,000 = 1%
You would be entitled to approximately 1% of the $IRON allocated to gameplay rewards during that period, subject to the current game mechanics.
Total MPR
Your total production power is the combined MPR of all your active deployed miners.
Example: 50 + 200 + 550 + 1,200 = 2,000 MPR
Players can own and deploy multiple miners simultaneously.
💰 $IRON Rewards
$IRON is the native utility and reward token of the IRONTOWN ecosystem. IRONTOWN uses a fixed global emission model for gameplay rewards.
The amount of $IRON distributed through gameplay during each reward period does not automatically increase simply because more miners join the network. Instead, eligible players compete for a percentage of the global reward emissions based on their MPR.
Reward Formula
Example:
Your MPR: 20,000
Total Network MPR: 2,000,000
Your Network Share: 1%
Global Emissions: 100,000 $IRON
Your Reward = 1,000 $IRON
💰 Claiming Rewards
$IRON rewards accumulate through active gameplay and can be claimed through the IRONTOWN interface. Players manually claim their available rewards to their connected Solana wallet.
The amount of $IRON available to claim depends on:
♡ Marriage & Family
Even miners need someone to come home to. The Marriage & Family system allows eligible miners to marry and potentially bring a new miner into IRONTOWN — creating a second way for players to expand their workforce beyond directly hiring.
How Marriage Works
Marriage Rarity Outcomes
| Marriage Level | Common Outcome | Possible Rare Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Lower × Lower | Rookie Miner | Ironhorn Miner |
| Lower × Mid | Rookie / Ironhorn | Iron Prime |
| Mid × Mid | Ironhorn Miner | Iron Prime |
| Mid × High | Ironhorn / Iron Prime | Gold Baron |
| High × High | Iron Prime | Gold Baron |
The exact probability of each possible outcome will be visible to players before confirming a marriage. Marriage does not guarantee a rarity upgrade.
Marriage Costs
Marriage requires $IRON. The amount depends on the rarity of the miners involved — higher-rarity marriages require more $IRON.
Marriage Cooldowns
Miners cannot continuously produce new miners without restrictions. After a successful marriage or family event, eligible miners may enter a cooldown period before they can participate again. Cooldowns can vary depending on rarity.
💰 $IRON Utility
$IRON connects the IRONTOWN reward economy with player progression. Players earn $IRON through their share of global gameplay emissions and can use it throughout the IRONTOWN ecosystem.
The goal is to create an economy where earning $IRON gives players opportunities to reinvest into their IRONTOWN operation.
🗺 The IRONTOWN Economic Loop
The IRONTOWN economy follows a continuous gameplay cycle. As the network evolves, players must decide how to use their resources strategically.
→ Progression
Every IRONTOWN player starts somewhere. A small operation might begin with a single Rookie Miner. Over time, players can build toward stronger miners.
There is no single way to build your IRONTOWN operation. Every strategy contributes to the competition for global $IRON rewards.
🛍 Marketplace
The IRONTOWN Marketplace allows players to trade eligible miners with other players. All transactions require confirmation through the player's connected Solana wallet.
★ Referrals
Players can invite others to IRONTOWN using their personal referral link. Eligible referrals may provide rewards according to the current referral program.
