You must be 18 or older and legally permitted to participate where you are physically located. Do not participate from a restricted area. Void where prohibited. New miners confirm eligibility when creating their profile; this is a self-attestation, not age or location verification. Signing in, owning DGEN or seeing an available activity does not establish eligibility. Read the Beta & fair-play notice before proceeding.

Yes—when mining is open, collect Gems while the weekly Forge is closed. Having Gems does not open forging early. The weekly guide says “Keep mining. Forge opens later” and disables its Forge step until an open slate and Forge availability are confirmed. Opening starts Wednesday at 10 AM Eastern when the schedule and projections pass verification; missing data is retried hourly before Sunday noon. The guide updates when the Forge actually opens. Squire Setup is a separate free welcome gift; it does not unlock forging or enter a contest. If you already own the required eligible positions, you can build a lineup while Arena entry is open. A saved entry remains viewable after lock.

New surprise strikes that find a random relic, ladder relic or Golden Ticket award the item instead of common dGems. Independent item rolls can still coincide, and successful strikes still advance your track. Otherwise, an eligible strike has a 10% chance at 100 recorded DGEN, subject to the shared 20,000-DGEN promotional pool and 800-DGEN allowance per activation-relative 24 hours. A miss or exhausted allowance pays ordinary dGems. Daily +200 Gems and the Legendary five-striker Gold/Diamond group bonus are unchanged. This does not remove rewards from earlier strikes.

Check the Mine’s remaining supply and allowance reset time. DGEN is not taken from the Iron Bank Treasury and is not an on-chain transfer. Reopen Your last strike to read its result; the Vault keeps your latest 20 DGEN mining receipts. New treasure chests keep the displayed Gem cost and verifiable randomness, with 25-dGem common rewards, a 5% relic chance and a rarer 1% roll for 100 DGEN from that same capped pool. Old sealed chests keep their original rewards and proof.

Click your DGEN balance in the Vault or Iron Bank to open your private history. It shows recorded credits and debits, transaction labels, times and resulting balances when recorded—including mining treasure, prizes, Council income, purchases and admin transfers. Only your signed-in account can see your personal history. Older balance changes without receipts are flagged as a history gap; the ledger does not invent transactions or change your balance. Load older pages or refresh when needed. These reads do not call the sports provider. DGEN is separate from mining dGems, and withdrawal requests still go through Send a Raven for manual review.

The Iron Bank’s Get DGEN button opens Aerodrome on Base. Check the token, quote and fees in your wallet. After a successful purchase, review its transaction hash and the displayed swap dGem reward before signing the free ownership message. DGEN stays in your wallet; swaps add no recorded DGEN. Transfers and gifts are not swaps. Each transaction is rewarded once, up to 100,000 DGEN; larger requests use Send a Raven.

New recorded-DGEN deposits have ended. The earlier-deposit recovery panel is only for transfers sent before the published cutoff, under their original deposit terms. Do not send new funds to an old deposit address. Existing balances and receipts are preserved.

The voluntary DGEN donation box starts hidden and disabled. The owner can activate it in Realm Health. When open, it shows the receiving address and current dGem reward rate. Donations award only the displayed dGems: no spendable or withdrawable DGEN is credited to your site account. Use your own supported Base wallet and a free ownership signature; no token approval or recovery phrase is needed. Whole-dGem rewards round down per transaction, so small donations can earn zero. The default donation rate is 1 dGem per 50 DGEN, adjustable separately from swap rewards. Earlier receipts retain their recorded amounts. Do not send while donations are closed. Existing donation receipts remain available in history.

New Iron Bank relic and treasure-chest payments accumulate in a held DGEN pot, shown at the top of the Bank. They are not paid out automatically. In Realm Health, an admin can preview and confirm distribution of a chosen percentage of the eligible pot using the Council seats and split policy active at that time. The default is equal shares; custom positive weights are normalized across eligible members, and whole-DGEN rounding preserves the total. If the pot, seats, splits or payout controls change after the preview, a fresh review is required. Empty or expired seats receive no share, and an empty Council leaves the pot held.

New Plunder and Dynamite dGem payments are held separately. Forge admission also uses dGems. None creates DGEN Council income. Historical DGEN activity pots remain available under their saved manual distribution rules. Council seat fees still collect in a separate DGEN pot; historical funds are not swept. The retired Pitch & Toss reserve remains available for historical fund management and eligible Council distributions. Realm Health provides a separate 0–100% Council allocation for each source. Saving a percentage moves no funds. Preview the recipients and exact amount, then confirm Distribute; the remainder stays in that source. Already-allocated historical payments retain their original settlement rules. Existing Treasury funds are not swept, and mining treasure or Joust redemption credits are not Bank purchase income. Confirmed distributions appear in Council receipts, private DGEN history and admin ledgers. Income depends on activity and is not a guaranteed return.

Treasure chests offer either dGems or a reviewed DGEN payment calculated from the master valuation rate. Gem sales and exchanges have ended. New contest entries and Common Forge recipes do not accept direct DGEN payment. Higher-rarity Forge positions still require physical Gems earned through gameplay or received from another player. Review each activity’s current requirements.

The owner can adjust the master valuation rate and chest price in Realm Health. Changes affect supported new payments; existing balances and saved receipts retain their terms. Historical DGEN payment receipts remain recoverable.

Squire Setup is a one-time welcome gift: two free treasure chests and one Squire Golden Ticket, awarded after both chests finish. It is for verified accounts with no recorded gameplay, including existing accounts that have not played. Signing up or depositing DGEN alone does not disqualify an account. No dGems or DGEN are spent, and chest prices and exchange rates do not affect the gift. Normal random chest rewards apply; the gift does not guarantee a full lineup or automatically forge positions. Interrupted claims can be resumed without losing completed rewards. Review your rewards in Forge and Vault, then build and enter your lineup yourself under the tournament's current rules. The welcome gift does not reset weekly.

From the Sunday, September 20 Arena onward, the default is that each new main Arena entry consumes one Golden Ticket. A week's displayed entry rules may specify a different fee or choice of items. Edits do not cost another, and previously submitted entries stay valid. Second-String Siege and Joust are unchanged.

Each successful surprise strike has an independent, adjustable chance to find one ticket, instead of that strike’s dGem payout. Check the current percentage in the Vault or Iron Bank; a percentage is not a guaranteed ticket after a fixed number of strikes. You can also receive tickets from another player, buy a player-listed ticket in Auctions, or receive one through the one-time Squire welcome gift if eligible. The Iron Bank no longer sells tickets. Sell an unused ticket to the Iron Bank at the displayed sellback price: it is permanently retired and the credit appears in your DGEN history. Review the current quote before confirming. Sellback price changes affect future sellbacks only; historical receipts keep their original amounts. Sale credits do not draw from the Treasury and are not on-chain transfers.

Unused Golden Tickets stay in your Vault across weeks and beta resets. Send them to another verified player from the Vault; transfers are gifts, not guaranteed swaps. Once consumed by an entry or sold, a ticket cannot be transferred or reused. Keep one if you still need your next Arena entry.

Check the current Arena panel before entering. Available rules may require dGems, Golden Tickets, Joust Strikes or specific relics, either together or as listed alternatives. New direct DGEN-paid contest entries are unavailable; legacy DGEN-only fees convert to a reviewed dGem quote at the current master rate. Review and confirm the available requirements before your first entry. Entry items are consumed permanently. Only unused, unexpired relics for the entry’s current calendar week are eligible. Consuming an active relic removes its bonus, and your new lineup must fit the remaining Armor allowance. Existing entries are never charged again, their recorded payments remain unchanged, and lineup edits remain free before lock.

The total Arena DGEN pool is adjustable before lock; first through fifth keep 40% / 25% / 15% / 10% / 10%. Whole-DGEN rounding goes to first place, and only occupied prize places pay. The pool and entry rules freeze at lock. Previously awarded prizes do not change. Second-String Siege keeps its separate position-token rewards.

Common dGems forge team RB2 and WR2 cards, which can fill Second-String Siege. The main Arena also needs QB, TE and D/ST cards. Those team cards are Silver under the original catalog; when an OddsBuilder catalog is applied, they can be Silver or Gold according to their position’s projection ranking. Division and conference cards use the current policy shown in the Forge. You can spend a higher-rarity Gem on a lower-rarity card, but the entire Gem is consumed and no change is returned. Owned tokens keep the rarity they had when received.

The main Arena’s base allowance is 18 for Week 1 (September 13) and 15 from Week 2 onward. Second-String Siege’s base allowance is 12. Your strongest eligible owned Armor relic can add up to +3; +1, +2 and +3 relics do not add together. Armor limits the cards you can roster—it does not add fantasy points. Always check the allowance displayed for the contest you are entering.

For Week 1 (Sunday, September 13), Sunday Knight Arena awards up to 50,000 DGEN across the top five: 20,000 / 12,500 / 7,500 / 5,000 / 5,000. Only filled prize places are awarded; there is no Gem participation payout. Second-String Siege awards one Diamond position token for first, two Gold for second, and one Gold for third. Siege positions are randomly assigned and automatically delivered to the Vault after final, verified results, ready for the September 20 beta week. Check the Arena’s prize panel for each week’s rewards.

Your recorded DGEN balance appears in the Vault, separately from spendable dGems. Tournament DGEN prizes, mining DGEN finds and confirmed Joust Strike redemptions add to that balance. Recorded DGEN can pay for Council seats or single-use relics at the Iron Bank. There is no automatic conversion of your balance. Recording a prize is not an on-chain deposit. Send a Raven for withdrawal → Winterfell reviews and processes requests manually. Submitting a Raven does not instantly withdraw funds. Never share a seed phrase or private key.

The Iron Bank no longer sells Gems. It still sells single-use action relics at the displayed DGEN price. You can buy one relic per family per assigned week; variants share the family limit. Use a relic before Monday midnight ET. Bank and Armor relics remain ladder rewards or player trades. Auctions continue to offer player-listed tickets and relics. Gem auctions are not offered. Existing purchase receipts and protected inventory remain intact.

Direct Gem exchanges have ended. Existing Gems retain their saved inventory and protection. The Iron Bank keeps past exchange receipts and exact saved-request recovery available. Earn higher-rarity Gems through gameplay or receive them from another player.

Unspent Bank-purchased Gems keep their existing beta-reset protection. Ordinary Gems are spent before protected Gems. Spending a Gem in the Forge consumes it normally; the resulting position follows the normal Vault rules. All relics, including bought and gifted copies, are single-use and expire Monday at midnight ET; buying one does not protect it from that expiration. Recorded DGEN and completed transaction history are not cleared by the weekly relic reset.

No. A Joust Strike is a collectible earned by your chosen primetime player. It adds no fantasy points, Armor or mining bank-rate benefit. After final verification it can be kept, sent to another knight, or sold at the Iron Bank at the current displayed DGEN price while buying is open. Open the Strike history in your Vault or the Bank to see where each quantity came from or went.

After kickoff, look beneath the primetime player scores for Riders in the lists. It shows each knight’s username, selected rider and Strikes earned in that game only—not their mining count. Live totals are provisional until final verification; refunded entries are marked separately. Picks stay hidden before kickoff. This table reads saved game data and makes no extra sports-provider calls.

Each verified Strike sold is permanently retired, not held by the Treasury or returned to circulation. You receive the displayed recorded DGEN amount per Strike. This does not deduct from the Realm Treasury, require a funded Treasury balance, or touch mining Gems and other Vault items. The sale and DGEN amount appear in your Strike history. It is an in-game balance credit, not an automatic on-chain transfer.

Joust reuses the saved player-stat updates, not a play-by-play feed. A recorded scorer touchdown counts; otherwise the player needs a net gain of at least 6 fantasy points in one accepted update and a new score high. Several plays may arrive in one update, and negative points may offset gains. A score surge and a touchdown are not both paid from the same update. Updates can be delayed, and Strikes stay provisional until final verification. A missing first score baseline cannot create a surge award.

Do not start another transaction. The saved request can be retried to confirm its original outcome without a second debit or payout. Pending requests block new sends and sales until resolved. Check the quantity and recipient carefully before the first confirmation: gifts are not trade offers waiting for acceptance.

Open Live Battlefield for NFL scores, game periods/clocks, and Arena standings. All submitted Arena and Siege lineups become public at Arena lock—even before the first scoring update. Tap any miner’s name to inspect their lineup. Before lock, other miners’ lineups stay private. Select a game to see the latest saved player and position breakdowns. These views share the same saved scoring updates; “live” does not mean every second. If one game’s stats are delayed, other verified games keep updating; affected positions retain their last verified points or show pending. Totals and rankings remain provisional, and prizes wait for complete final stats. Battlefield Pulse shows the latest verified positive position gain beneath each game. These are changes between saved updates, not individual plays; when gains share an update, the largest is shown. Check the update timestamp and any delayed-feed notice.

The current random scheduling interval is 18–36 minutes, not a fixed countdown from your last strike. Surprise veins stay open for 30 seconds, with their exact opening revealed during the final two minutes. Ale Pub shows the interval until a saved opening is available, then shows the countdown or open window. Collect your daily seam first. Tap Ready my pickaxe and wait for the server confirmation before leaving. That saves one automatic strike for the announced vein, even if your device sleeps or you close the page. It does not arm future veins, bypass maintenance pauses, or award a missed past strike. Push alerts are separate. Return to check the saved result; service interruptions can still prevent a strike.

Text messaging is off. Tap a knight in Knights in the Realm to raise a shared toast to them. Connected players can see the clink and hear its sound when alerts and device settings allow. Knights in the Realm shows connected players, not necessarily players reading the Pub; mobile shows the names without expanding. Closing the Pub or switching main-app views keeps clinks for this page visit. Leaving or reloading clears your local history; other players may still have theirs. Nothing is saved for your next visit.

In the Vault, select an unused, unexpired relic and choose Send to player. Confirm the recipient and serial number. Gifting is free and is not a guaranteed swap. Eligible DGEN sales use the separate Auction House and its displayed rules and fees. Gifting transfers one copy, and never resets either player’s weekly strike progress. The recipient gets the same Monday expiration; a gifted Bank relic starts on the next vein. Reserved, used or expired items cannot be gifted. Existing contest-lock restrictions still apply.

Player-rented Council seats use the same daily DGEN fee, including the first three. Seat five is reserved for the Knights of Degen holder pool, not a personal rental. Choose an available rental seat. The Council shows the current price before you confirm; it is charged from your separate recorded DGEN balance, with daily renewal at 8 AM Eastern. New seat payments stay in a separate held Treasury pot until an admin manually distributes a chosen percentage to the Council. The first charge lasts until the next 8 AM renewal. Realm Health can change the daily fee. New claims use the updated price immediately; existing holders use it from the next eligible 8 AM renewal, with paid time preserved and no retroactive charges. Stale price confirmations are rejected until refreshed. Mining Gems are not spent. Stop renewal to end future charges; insufficient balance frees the seat without debt. Existing Gem-payment consent does not authorize DGEN charges.

The fifth Council seat represents the Ethereum Knights of Degen collection. Its Council proceeds collect in a separate holder pot. Verify your wallet in the Vault’s collapsed Knights section; one wallet is permanently linked per account. NFTs stay in your wallet. Each Knight is permanently registered once by chain, collection and token ID. Rescans update its saved display, but transferring it to another wallet cannot create another registration.

For new reward rounds, Winterfell can preview and manually allocate the pot among registered holders whose original linked wallet still owns at least one of its first-registered Knights at the verified Ethereum snapshot. Each eligible holder gets one equal share, regardless of NFT count. Whole-DGEN leftovers carry forward. A sold Knight no longer qualifies its old wallet for future snapshots. Earlier rounds keep their saved entitlements; later transfers do not move those claims. Sign a free ownership message with your registered wallet to claim each round once. These are site-DGEN credits, not on-chain transfers or guaranteed rewards. Staked or custodied NFTs are not inferred as personally owned.

Automatic dGem resets remain disabled. dGems, higher-rarity Gems, recorded DGEN and positions keep their existing carry-over rules. Relics are different: every unused relic expires Monday at midnight Eastern, and used relics are burned. Weekly ladder progress and Forge admission also reset then. Historical receipts and previously saved lineup allowances remain intact.

Separate, admin-confirmed beta resets may replace ordinary mining Gems or remove unused non-prize positions and eligible non-prize relics. These are not automatic Monday actions; prize items, unspent Bank Gem purchases and submitted lineups are protected by the reset controls. That protection does not extend a relic’s Monday expiry. A 2,000-Gem beta reset is not a recurring weekly grant.

Yes. The Mine’s push-alert control connects this device to mining calls and tournament rank changes. After a quiet first baseline, verified moves up or down in Sunday Knight Arena or Second-String Siege can trigger one combined alert per scoring update—even with the site closed. Tap it to open Live Battlefield. These use saved standings, with no additional sports API calls. Unchanged ranks stay quiet; incomplete or stale scoring updates wait. Turn off alerts on this device to stop both types. The realm’s separate notification pause stops both; a mining pause stops only mining calls. Device notification permissions, Focus modes, and browser restrictions still apply.

Pitch & Toss has been removed and new tosses are unavailable. Historical receipts and exact saved-request recovery remain in the Iron Bank. Existing balances, inventory and settled results retain their original records.

Yes. Enter the same email and request a fresh six-digit code. It signs you into the same account and syncs your Gems, positions, relics, and lineup; it does not create a duplicate.

You submit one seven-position lineup against the entire Arena leaderboard. Scoring uses full-PPR fantasy points on the Sunday main slate, with best-ball selection for broader division and conference cards.

It is a separate weekly side tournament requiring exactly two RB2 cards and two WR2 cards. It has its own entry and leaderboard. Review the displayed free or dGem entry rule before entering. New direct DGEN-paid entries and DGEN payment alternatives are unavailable; a legacy DGEN-only fee converts to the reviewed dGem price at the current master rate, not free entry. Earlier entries keep their recorded terms. A card can be reserved for only one tournament at a time. Edit free until lock; only the final four are burned.

The Mine shows separate rankings for in-game DGEN and dGem holdings. The dGem High Table displays the top ten eligible holders. sdot is excluded from both. Each table has its own admin-set DGEN prize pool and rank split; payouts are manual, once per round, and rankings can change until payout. Tied holders share the prizes for the ranks they occupy, including ties beyond the visible top ten. A zero pool means no prizes are scheduled.

Yes—both the Sunday Knight Arena and Second-String Siege allow free edits until the displayed contest deadline. Choose Edit lineup, make your swaps, then Save changes. Your saved entry stays entered while you work. Swapped-out cards return to your Vault only after a successful save. Cancel discards your draft and restores the saved lineup. There is no editing fee or Armor penalty, and your original entry time is preserved for ties. One contest-wide lock applies; it is not a rolling lock at each player’s kickoff. At lock, editing closes and your final roster is burned.

Yes. Lineup submission does not close the Mine. Random relic drops remain, and the ladder now awards Bank, Armor and action relics. Each find belongs to its calendar week, even after Sunday lock; it expires at Monday midnight ET. Relics no longer grant passive score bonuses to new entries. Historical entries keep their original scoring rules.

An unused forged position remains in your Vault for future eligible weeks. A submitted position is reserved for its entry. Before lock, you can swap it out and save to return it to your Vault. Positions left in the final lineup at lock are burned and cannot be reused.

Push alerts are enabled separately on each device. Open de-fs.com in Safari, Chrome, or Edge—not another app’s built-in browser. On iPhone or iPad, first use Share → Add to Home Screen, open Knight Miners from that icon, and enable alerts in the Mine. If permission was blocked, use Fix alert permissions in the Mine. Also check Focus or Do Not Disturb mode. Use Send test alert after setup; an enabled switch does not guarantee that your device will display every alert. Readying a pickaxe and enabling push alerts are separate actions.

A wooden Closed sign names the feature that is unavailable. Mining and Forging have separate pause controls, so the Mine can reopen while the Forge stays closed. Neither pause by itself closes Live Battlefield, your saved Vault or the rest of the site. Entry and transfer controls can be paused separately, and the Iron Bank can stop buying. Saved items and lineups remain viewable; a maintenance pause does not promise to extend the contest deadline. Check the displayed lock time and any message from the team.

Use Send feedback in the menu or Send a raven in the Alliance Council to contact Winterfell. Include what happened, which page you were on, your device/browser, and the steps that led to the problem. Open Ravens in the top bar to see your messages and Winterfell’s replies. Ale Pub is for shared clinks—not text messages or private support. Never send passwords, sign-in codes, seed phrases or private keys.

Official scoring is imported from API-Sports. Sleeper supplements the matchup board’s roster and depth-chart context. Knight Miners does not scrape ESPN.

Official-feed corrections may update scores before results settle. Ties are ordered by the earlier valid Arena submission, then by the saved entry ID.
