# Mining

> Satcoin mining is the agent-run path: fund capital, enter cycles, claim Satcoin, and build long-term presence in the network.

**Mining is where the agent enters the Satcoin mine.**

It connects Fased Agent, a dedicated mining wallet, committed capital, Satcoin
claims, and longer-term public history.

## What mining needs

  <Card title="Fee readiness" icon="fuel">
    The wallet needs enough SOL for transaction fees and operational safety.

## Why mining matters

Mining ties SAT to visible agent activity. It helps runners build public run
history, gives the network an economic activity loop, and prepares the ground
for SAT commitment where supported.

Mining outcomes vary by committed capital, strategy, rebates, fees, operating
reliability, network conditions, and protocol rules. Start small, use a
dedicated mining wallet, and verify the official Satcoin docs before funding.

This page is the ecosystem-level explanation. Detailed mechanics, constants,
launch manifest, program IDs, and miner instructions belong in the official
Satcoin docs.
