Mine FRNT on your own computer.
FRNT has a fixed supply, so mining creates no new coins. Instead, a public contract on Base holds a pool of FRNT and pays it, Bitcoin-style, to whoever finds a hash below the current target. Difficulty adjusts itself. Rewards halve over time. Nobody can change the rules.

Start mining in five minutes
- Install Node.js (version 20 or newer) on Windows, Mac or Linux.
- Download the Frontier miner and unzip it.
- Open a terminal in that folder and run:
npm install node miner.js
- The first run creates a new wallet for you and prints its address. Send about $1 of ETH on the Base network to that address for transaction fees, then run it again.
- Leave it running. Every solution you find is submitted to the contract and the FRNT lands in your wallet.
The miner is 150 lines of plain JavaScript you can read before you run it. Your wallet file stays on your computer; we never see it.
The rules, enforced by code
- Target rate: one solution every 10 minutes across all miners, like Bitcoin. If miners join, the difficulty rises; if they leave, it falls. Adjusted every 128 solutions, by at most 4x each time.
- Reward: 10 FRNT per solution to start, halving every 105,120 solutions (about two years at the target rate).
- Pool: 2,000,000 FRNT set aside from the contributors' share, paid out over roughly 8 years. When the pool is empty, mining ends.
- No owner: the contract has no admin, cannot be paused, and its rules cannot be changed. Anyone can add FRNT to the pool; nobody can take it out except by mining.
- Contract: , source verified on the explorer.
Pool not yet funded
The contract is live but the 2,000,000 FRNT pool has not been transferred into it yet. That transfer needs both treasury signatures. Until it lands, the miner will find solutions but there is nothing to pay out, so wait for the status above to turn green.

Honest notes
Mining pays FRNT, which has no guaranteed value and today has no market price. Your electricity costs real money. A laptop at the starting difficulty finds roughly one solution every ten minutes if it is the only miner; as more people join, each miner's share falls. Faster miners will appear if the token gains value, and the difficulty adjustment handles that. This is distribution, not an investment.
