MINE DAPA.

EARN REWARDS.

No. DAPA uses the XelisHashV3 algorithm which is specifically designed for CPU mining. Any modern laptop or desktop computer can participate. You don't need a GPU, ASIC, or any special hardware – just your everyday computer.

When your miner finds a block, the full block reward (~9.8 DAPA) is sent directly to your wallet address – the one you entered in the configuration tool. There is no pool involved so there are no fees, no delays, and no minimum payout threshold. Rewards arrive as soon as the block is confirmed.

Each block mined on the DAPA network rewards approximately 9.8 DAPA. Blocks are produced roughly every 15 seconds. The emission is controlled by a speed factor that gradually reduces rewards over time as more DAPA enters circulation, ensuring long-term network sustainability.

Setting threads to 0 (AUTO) lets the miner detect and use all available CPU threads – this gives maximum hashrate. If you want to keep your computer usable while mining, set it to half your available threads. For example if you have 8 threads, use 4 for mining and keep 4 for normal use.

We recommend node.paymetc.com (194.163.189.149) as the primary node – it's a full archive node that is always up to date. Any of the 4 nodes will work equally well for mining. If one node is slow or unreachable, simply switch to another in the configuration tool.

Profitability depends on your CPU's hashrate, electricity cost, and DAPA's market price. DAPA is a young network with a growing community – early miners accumulate DAPA before the network grows larger and competition increases. The earlier you mine, the larger your share of the network hashrate, and the more blocks you find.

Absolutely. Run the miner on as many machines as you like – all pointing to the same wallet address. Give each machine a different worker name so you can identify them. Your combined hashrate from all machines goes toward finding blocks, and all rewards go to your single wallet address.

Yes – a few critical things to know:

NEVER use --allow-boost-sync when syncing your node from scratch. This flag causes database corruption. Always use --allow-fast-sync instead.

The correct launch command for a fresh node is:
./dapa_daemon --p2p-bind-address 0.0.0.0:20100 --rpc-bind-address 0.0.0.0:20101 --priority-nodes 194.163.189.149:20100 --allow-fast-sync --skip-block-template-txs-verification Understanding your node's ports:
• Port 20100 is P2P — this is how other nodes connect to each other to sync the blockchain. Open this in your firewall.
• Port 20101 is RPC/WebSocket — this is what miners connect to. The miner binary connects here directly.

Miner connections: point your miners at your-ip:20101. If you want miners to also connect via port 20100 (like dapahe-managed nodes), you need to set up an nginx proxy to forward 20100 → 20101. See the full nginx guide in Section 07 above.

This almost always means you're connecting to the wrong port. The DAPA miner binary connects via WebSocket and requires the RPC port 20101 — not the P2P port 20100.

• If you're using a self-hosted node: use port 20101 — e.g. ./dapa_miner --daemon-address your-ip:20101 ...
• If you're using a dapahe-managed node: port 20100 works because nginx handles the routing automatically.
• If you want port 20100 to work on your own node too, see the nginx proxy guide in Section 07.
