What are the referral rules?

  1. Invite friends to join your Massive Miner team.
  2. When your invitees start mining by verifying ZKPs on mobile, 10% of their mining points will be reflected in your referral rewards.
  3. When their invitees start mining, 5% of their mining points will be reflected in your extra referral rewards.
  4. The total ZKPs verified by you and your invitees will continuously contribute to the team, unlocking future Perks and Rewards.
  5. Note: Mining rewards are allocated when you finish ZKP verifying tasks as a node. Separate from mining rewards, referral rewards are allocated when your direct invitees and their invitees register as nodes and start mining.

What can I receive?

  1. Massive points by verifying ZKPs on your mobile.
  2. Referral rewards by inviting more users to join Massive.
  3. Staking yields through upcoming staking products.
  4. Ecosystem rewards provided by Ola partners.
  5. Native Ola Tokens.

What do I need to register? Are there any gas fees involved?

To register, you need to connect to the Ola official website using your wallet and follow the instructions provided on the website to claim your invitation code.

No gas fees or NFT minting required.

When and how can we use the code?

The node registration feature will be launched by Ola on March 21. Users holding an invitation code will be able to use it on the official website to apply for becoming a node.

Are the invitation code and address bound together?

Yes, each invitation code is bound to a specific address.

Why does the address displayed after connecting different?

Ola is a ZKVM, similar to Starkware, has its own addresses. In the address generation process, Ola uses the ZK-friendly Poseidon hash instead of the Keccak hash, so it’s normal that the addresses are different from Ethereum addresses. But rest assured, there are no security issues.

Can the public participate in mining, or is it limited to developers?

Yes, everyone can participate. The goal of Ola and Massive is to promote the widespread adoption of Web3 and advocate for a decentralized and fair digital ecosystem. By introducing the concept of “verify to earn,” anyone with a smartphone can participate in mining.

Can only one phone be linked for mining, and can I switch phones later?

Yes, switching is allowed. However, only one device can be used at a time per address. The verify network is maintained for security; the more genuine users, the better for everyone.

Will mining affect my phone’s performance? Is there a risk of data leakage?

Mining will not slow down the phone. At the same time, Ola promises not to access or collect any of the user’s private information.

Can tokens on other chains be staked?

We will support users on various chains, so all major blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, zkf and Solana will be supported. We will not force users to switch to Ola, as this would increase operational complexity and cost. The goal of Ola and Massive is to significantly lower these barriers to participation.

Is mining restricted to mobile phones, or can computers also be used?

Currently, Massive only supports mining on mobile devices, including Android and iOS systems. At Massive, your role is fundamentally transformed. Gone are the days of having to “slave away” by artificially boosting transaction volumes and amounts to earn incentives. Now, all you need is a standard smartphone to connect. By simply staying active and verifying, you can consistently earn rewards. But your role evolves further; once you connect as an Ola node, you become an essential part of maintaining the network’s security.

You might have felt the imbalance before, as web3 whales could distribute their funds across multiple addresses to amplify their earnings, a feat not so easily replicated by purchasing multiple smartphones. Hence, Massive levels the playing field, offering a balanced opportunity for both whales and retailers. On the Massive platform, everyone participates and contributes in the same manner, ensuring fairness. This approach incentivizes a broader spectrum of users to engage with the web3 ecosystem, lowering entry barriers and bolstering decentralization and equity within the system. With Massive, every participant has the chance to earn rewards fairly, fostering wider participation and a healthier network.

Is the app currently available for download?

Absolutely! Android users can dive right into their mining adventure with the early access version of the app available now. Download it here.

iOS enthusiasts, please be patient. We’re finalizing your version and it’ll be ready soon!
