# Glossary

**Attestation** — a signed message from the signer stating a wallet's hashrate for a given epoch. The contract accepts a hashrate only with a valid attestation.

**Claim** — the transaction that mints your accrued GLYPH to your wallet. Gated by the claim cooldown.

**Claim cooldown** — the minimum time between claims (1 hour by default), and the wait before your first claim. Rewards accrue during it.

**Difficulty** — informally, the effect of total network hashrate on your share. More total hashrate → a thinner slice of the same emission.

**EIP-712** — an Ethereum standard for signing structured, typed data. Mine Glyph uses it so attestations are human-verifiable and bound to a specific contract and chain.

**Emission** — the GLYPH minted per second and split among miners. It halves on a schedule and converges to the 18,900,000 emission pool.

**Emission pool** — the 90% of supply (18,900,000 GLYPH) mined by the community.

**Epoch** — a fixed time window (default 1 day) used to snapshot wallet metrics. Your score is measured at the epoch's start and is stable within it.

**Hashrate** — your mining power, computed from wallet age, transactions, volume, and hold time via a log-scaled formula.

**Hold time** — days since your wallet last sent value out; rewards long-term holding.

**Indexer** — the off-chain service that reads wallet history and computes hashrate.

**LP premine** — the 10% of supply (2,100,000 GLYPH) minted once to seed locked DEX liquidity.

**MasterChef pattern** — the accumulator-based reward accounting that makes claims O(1) without looping over miners.

**MINTER\_ROLE** — the on-chain permission to mint GLYPH, held only by the GlyphMining contract.

**Nonce** — a single-use number in each attestation that prevents replay.

**Registration fee** — the one-time ETH fee (about $1) charged when you start mining; an anti-sybil measure.

**Signer** — the off-chain key that attests hashrates; its public address is set as `signer` in the contract and is rotatable by the owner.

**Total hashrate** — the sum of all active miners' hashrate; the denominator of your reward share.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mineglyph.xyz/resources/glossary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
