How It Works

Simple, Transparent, Traceable

From browsing a project to receiving a gold-backed return — every step is visible, auditable, and (in this sandbox) entirely simulated.

The Flow

Five steps from capital to compliance-verified returns

🔍

Explore vetted, ESG-audited mining projects in MineStarter's Marketplace — filter by location, certification and funding goal.

💰

Choose a project and commit a demo investment amount — sandbox funds only, no real payment is processed.

⛏️

The mine operates under ESG compliance, extracting and weighing gold output on schedule.

🔗

Each batch of gold output is hash-recorded on-chain with weight, timestamp and vault destination — a simulated mock transaction in this demo.

🥇

Smart contracts distribute gold-backed returns proportionally to each investor's Dashboard, tokenised into their GoldPool wallet.

Pool Mechanics

Parameter	Value	Notes
Suggested demo investment	$5,000	Default pre-filled on the Invest Now flow — any amount can be simulated
Extraction trigger	60% funded	Projects are modelled as moving to active extraction once this threshold is reached
Platform fee	2% of distributed returns	Deducted automatically before a return is reflected in your Dashboard
Distribution cadence	Quarterly	Gold-backed returns tokenised into your wallet on a quarterly cycle
ESG re-audit	Annual	Green Mining Certification is reviewed and renewed yearly per project

Figures shown are illustrative sandbox parameters, not a live fee schedule.
