Mine

Mining Sova means burning ZEC. sova-miner sends one burn per new Zcash block, inside a budget you set, and the burns credit your EVM address with SOVA.

Where to mine

Where	What you burn	Start here
Public testnet	TAZ (testnet ZEC), from the faucet	Quickstart, step 3
Your machine	Regtest ZEC, made on the spot	Run it locally
An agent	Either, with a hard budget	Let an agent mine

How it pays

Each Zcash block is an epoch. Burners rank by ZEC burned, the top burner seals the Sova block, and the epoch’s SOVA is split by burn weight. The exact rules: How SOVA is paid.

Seal your own blocks to earn the tip: step 4.
