A community garden for Kadena miners: you bring the rigs, we share the land. Every block your rigs find pays straight to your own wallet. Open source, no pool holding your KDA, no minimum payout.

Three ways to mine, and the choice is always yours. Pick one in your rig's password field and change it whenever you like. Options 2 and 3 start only after you confirm them once in your wallet, so nobody else can switch them on for you. Direct mining is the default: if you set nothing, your rewards go only to your own wallet.

Some pools offer a solo mode. Your rig still works on their blocks, your reward still lands in their wallet first, and your hashrate still counts toward their share of the network. Here is the difference.
| mine.kadena.ws | Pool "solo" mode | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee | 1% of hashrate, never taken from your blocks | 2% off every reward |
| Who receives the reward | Your k: account, inside the block | The pool's wallet, then a payout |
| Custody risk | None | You trust the pool to pay |
| Payout delay or minimum | None, instant | Pool schedule applies |
| Explorer shows the miner as | You | The pool |
| Your hashrate counts toward | Independent miners | The pool's network share |
| Open source, self-hostable | Yes | No |
| Hashrate cap to protect the network | Yes, public | No |
Solo mining is honest about luck. A small rig may wait weeks for a block and then receive the whole reward at once. Pools smooth that into daily crumbs. This calculator shows you the trade-off with no spin.
Best fit: farms that already find blocks regularly, and small miners who prefer a real shot at a full block over paying fees for steady drips.
Don't take our word for any of this. Every block found here links to the public explorer, where the coinbase shows the miner's own account receiving the reward. No pool wallet in the middle, and nothing to trust.
Pool 2: stratum+tcp://mine.kadena.ws:1917
Every two weeks, one active miner receives a gift from Kadena Nexus equal to 1% of the KDA they mined in that window (minimum 2 KDA, maximum 50 KDA). Nothing to buy and nothing to sign up for. If your rigs are sending shares, you're in.
This site is the on-ramp. The whole stack is open source: node setup, stratum server, and dashboard. One command on a small server and your farm mines against its own node with nobody in between.

The small hashrate fee keeps the servers running. Donations go further: more regional nodes, security reviews, and the developer hours that keep everything patched and online. Nothing is sold, no shares, no promises of returns. Just a public good for the chain.
