CRYPTO

Crypto games — paying in crypto is not the same as earning it

A crypto game can mean two opposite things. In one, you pay with crypto. In the other, the game pays you crypto. FieldHunters does both, and they are not the same pipe. Confusing them is the mistake the shop is built to prevent.

You may buy a coil, an outfit, a curio, or a pass with a card or from a wallet. That payment is a purchase. It stays a purchase. The crypto you can later withdraw was never that payment. It was a chest in the ground, credited as Treasures, paid out as bitcoin on Lightning.

Paying with crypto, earning bitcoin

The shop takes a card or crypto. Crypto checkout runs through DePay: you pay from a wallet on the major networks it settles — Ethereum, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and others — and the game receives stablecoins. What you bought is kit. What you can withdraw later is only bitcoin you dug, sent over Lightning once the balance clears ten dollars and identity checks are approved. The wallet page shows the floor. Shop crypto and chest bitcoin are different rails on purpose.

How a dig works

FieldHunters is one shared field in the browser. No download. You walk the Common Fields, the coil sings, you dig. Other hunters see the same spots. Several people can work one hole. The first to finish keeps the find. Dig time is the coil: bronze, the free one, takes fifty seconds; silver forty; gold twenty-five; mythic fifteen. Seeing a signal first does not mean you keep it.

Most holes are artefacts. Keep them, or sell duplicates to the Museum for coins. Now and then a hole is a sealed chest. What is inside is real bitcoin on your Treasures balance, shown in bitcoin at the rate of the moment. We do not publish the odds or the size of a chest. There is no wager and no entry fee. There is also no promise that a session pays.

Two purses, and they do not mix

Coins come from selling artefacts to the Museum. They buy coils by the hole, outfits, and curios. They do not withdraw. Treasures are real bitcoin, credited when a sealed chest opens in the ground. Only Treasures can leave the game. Money you spend in the shop — card or crypto — buys the row you pressed. It does not turn into bitcoin, and it is not a deposit you can cash back out.

A list of how other crypto games usually pay — tokens, cards, wagers — is on games that pay crypto. FieldHunters' own rails are the ones this site can describe exactly.
