Hold Mining rewards you automatically just by keeping RANC in your wallet.

• Rewards accumulate every second based on your RANC balance.
• You must press Claim to receive the accumulated rewards.
• If you send, swap, or spend RANC before claiming, all unclaimed rewards are forfeited.

Rule: Claim first → then transfer or swap.

Both mining systems follow the same reward pool rules:

• Rewards are paid from the global RANC Reward Pool.
• As the pool decreases, reward rates automatically reduce (halving).
• When the pool is refilled, rates adjust according to the contract rules.

• Hold Mining: Always claim before sending or swapping RANC.
• Always preview the pool balance and your estimated reward before claiming.
• Claiming requires gas because it is an on-chain action.

Transaction counters track how your wallet interacts with RANC on the blockchain. They help determine your activity level and may affect certain mining or reward rules.

• Tx In (Incoming Transactions) — counts how many times your wallet received RANC. This shows how often your wallet is being sent tokens from others or from DApps.
• Tx Out (Outgoing Transactions) — counts how many times your wallet sent RANC. For Hold Mining, an outgoing transfer can reset your era and forfeit unclaimed rewards, so claim before sending.
• Tx All (Total Transactions) — the combined total of incoming + outgoing: Tx All = Tx In + Tx Out. This is the best measure of how active your address is in the RANC ecosystem.

Activities that are not performed (Outgoing Transactions) cancontribute to better results in Hold Mining, depending on the reward model.
