Automation

Set up hands-free mining with the autominer.

How It Works

Automation allows you to configure automatic mining without manual intervention each tick:

  1. Setup - Choose dimension, amount per tick, and executor bot
  2. Deposit - Fund your automation balance with SOL
  3. Run - Executor bot deploys on your behalf each tick
  4. Reload - Optionally auto-reload winnings back into your balance

Setting Up

# Setup automation for dimension 0
# Deploy 0.1 SOL per tick
# Pay 0.0001 SOL fee to executor
# Enable reload
automate \
  --dimension 0 \
  --amount 0.1 \
  --deposit 1.0 \
  --executor <BOT_PUBKEY> \
  --fee 0.0001 \
  --reload true

How Reload Works

When reload is enabled:

  1. Excavation results in HIT
  2. You checkpoint and receive SOL rewards
  3. Executor calls reload_sol
  4. SOL rewards transfer from miner → automation balance
  5. Mining continues with refreshed balance

This creates a self-sustaining loop - as long as you're winning, you keep mining.

Executor Bots

The executor is a bot wallet you authorize to:

  • Deploy SOL from your automation balance
  • Checkpoint your excavations
  • Reload your SOL winnings

You can run your own bot or use a community executor. The executor fee compensates the bot operator for transaction costs.

Closing Automation

To stop automation and withdraw remaining balance:

automate --dimension 0 --close

This closes the automation account and returns all SOL to your wallet.
