DIN, the First Modular AI-Native Data Pre-Processing Layer, has officially launched pre-mining. Following the successful conclusion of Phase 1 of the DIN Chipper Node Sale, DIN’s pre-mining allows users to secure additional rewards before TGE. Both zero-cost participants and node holders can join, with the activity expected to last approximately one month.

What is Chipper Node Pre-Mining?

DIN Chipper Node Pre-Mining is geared toward xData users and node holders, allowing them to start experiencing mining rewards in preparation for continuous mining after TGE. For many users, participating in pre-mining is the only low-cost way to secure airdrops. Node holders will also benefit from earlier, faster rewards, receiving larger airdrop allocations and real-time rewards that exceed those of other node projects on the market.

The primary output of pre-mining will be $xDIN, which serves as a voucher for $DIN airdrops during TGE. In addition, users can only receive $DIN airdrops at TGE by purchasing nodes or participating in exclusive campaigns. $xDIN can be converted from Wafer points, which users earn from the xData. xData is DIN’s AI data node infrastructure, which launched on the opBNB chain in April 2024 and later expanded to Mantle. To date, xData has gathered 30 million users, with a daily active user base of 1 million.

How to Participate in Chipper Node Pre-Mining?

In xData, users have already accumulated Wafer points, and new users can earn wafers by downloading the xData plugin, completing tasks, and checking in daily. Once pre-mining starts, wafer holders can rent node computing power to convert their wafers into $xDIN, while node holders will receive a share of $xDIN by renting out their computing power. At DIN’s TGE, all participants will receive a $DIN airdrop proportional to their $xDIN holdings. Importantly, these $DIN tokens will be 100% unlocked, with no vesting or complicated unlocking schedules.

How to Convert Wafer into $xDIN?

Wafer holders can submit a conversion request on-chain, paying a minimal fee to rent the computing power of an online node and convert wafers into $xDIN.

• Each conversion request allows 150 wafers to be converted at a rate of 10 wafers = 1 $xDIN, resulting in 15 $xDIN. After deducting network costs, these 15 $xDIN will be sent to the request initiator (wafer holders).
• When submitting each request, wafer holders must pay a conversion fee consisting of a fixed fee (in $BNB, approximately $0.025) and a network fee (in $xDIN). The network fee is deducted from the $xDIN output at a variable rate between 5% and 30%, depending on the total daily requests and the availability of online node computing resources (online Chipper nodes). Typically, when there are more requests and stable computing resources, the fee will hover between 8% and 10%.

How Are Conversion Fees Distributed?

All conversion fees are allocated in real-time to the node handling the request. The $BNB-denominated fixed fee goes directly to the node’s account, while the network cost (the $xDIN share) requires manual withdrawal by the node holder.

How Are Nodes Selected to Handle Requests?

Requests are automatically assigned to online nodes from lower to higher tiers, ensuring that lower-tier nodes can benefit from the system’s earnings.

Are There Limits on the Number of Requests Each Node Can Handle?

Each node tier has different computing attributes (Computing Limit and Computing Power) that determine the maximum number of requests each tier can handle daily.
