It’s not every day that you come across a Web3 game where the rewards are tied directly to real Bitcoin (BTC) mining.

Miner Wars is a mobile app built by GoMining that blends GameFi mechanics with actual BTC mining infrastructure.

CCN caught up with the GoMining team, Chief Product Officer Dan Otryvanoff, Chief Marketing Officer Vadim Soloveychik and

Content Marketing Manager Laila Effiong to explore how their hybrid of gaming and mining is changing how people engage with Bitcoin.

Not Just a Game—It’s a Working Mining Pool

At first glance, Miner Wars looks like just another Web3 mobile game. But underneath, it’s tied to real Bitcoin mining infrastructure.

Players collect digital miners, NFTs with actual hashrate attached, and band together into “clans,” similar to mining pools. From there, they compete to solve “game blocks,” which mirror real blocks on the Bitcoin network.

“Each user that holds NFTs with computing power donates their daily mining rewards into the BTC prize pool,” says Otryvanoff. “The prize pool is given back to users according to their performance in the game and accumulated points.”

Miner Wars then syncs with the Bitcoin blockchain in real-time, meaning gameplay reflects what’s happening on-chain. Players can jump in or out, use their NFT hashrate in the game, or return to passive mining if preferred.

Retaining Player Interest

The GameFi space is notorious for flash-in-the-pan projects that disappear once the hype fades.

Airdrops come and go—and so does player interest. GoMining isn’t immune to those risks, but the team says it has found more staying power by focusing less on quick incentives and more on building something that actually works.

“At its core, GoMining is an ecosystem, not just a mining platform or a standalone app with GameFi mechanics,” Effiong noted. “We’ve built a one-click gateway to Bitcoin, mining, and Web3 yield.”

The claim is that rather than trying to “gamify” a business model after the fact, GoMining built Miner Wars around its existing BTC mining infrastructure. In theory, that gives it more stability than projects that rely entirely on user growth or token speculation.

Additionally, GoMining’s multi-chain approach has given Miner Wars wider exposure, offering players and the platform the flexibility needed to stay accessible and adaptable.

GoMining’s infrastructure spans several blockchains, including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), The Open Network (TON), and Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

“We currently mint our digital miners and utility token across multiple networks,” the team said.

So, if a player picks up a GoMining NFT on Solana, they can still plug it into the app and mine BTC.

This kind of cross-chain flexibility isn’t new in Web3, but it does help the team retain and grow its player base.

What’s Next?

GoMining has made a bet that blending actual Bitcoin rewards with a game-like experience will bring staying power.

Whether that model holds over time is still to be seen, especially as the broader GameFi space grapples with retention and regulation.

However, for now, Miner Wars offers something a little different: a way to mine BTC with digital assets, compete in real-time sync with the blockchain, and step in and out as you please.

The players—165,000 of them—seem to think it’s worth a shot.
