Step 1. SKALE Summit Cave
Head over to the Crystal Caves website and log in using your WORLD3 account (if you haven't already).
Click on SKALE Summit Cave to begin your treasure-hunting journey and explore valuable resources!

(1) Mining Site Name and Selected Chain (e.g., SKALE Nebula)
(2) Public Information about the mining site, with details on site attributes and current conditions
(3) Accumulated Block Statistics showing mined blocks and other progress indicators

Step 2. Mining Blocks in Crystal Caves
In Crystal Caves, players can explore the cave environment, mine blocks, and uncover valuable rewards like USDC, Lumens, and Points. The mining process takes place on your device and is verified on-chain, ensuring secure and transparent gameplay.
How to Mine Blocks
To start mining, follow these steps:
Double-click any adjacent block to mine it directly or select an adjacent block and click "Mine".
Players can mine up to 10 blocks at a time. After 10 blocks, a roll-up transaction syncs the data on-chain and distributes rewards.
Energy available (max 1000 blocks every 24 hours) is displayed at the bottom left corner for tracking.
When you’ve mined 10 blocks, the Chest turns golden and displays "MAX," indicating it’s full. Click Roll Up to sync your progress, then Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
3. Once confirmed, a Rewards modal will pop up displaying all rewards from the roll-up. Click "OK" to continue. Check the Reward Distribution section in this guide for more details on rewards.
Repeat this process as much as possible. The more blocks you mine, the more rewards you earn!
Step 3: Withdraw Your USDC Rewards
If you have earned USDC rewards during the mining process, you will need to withdraw them manually. Click on the "Claim" button next to the reward to verify the amount and withdraw your rewards.
USDC is distributed as the Europa USDC token (viewable in the explorer). To transfer it to another chain, such as converting it to USDT on Ethereum, you can use the official bridge. For added flexibility, third-party bridges like Meson.fi are also available to easily move tokens across different chains.
Your local client (browser) might have temporarily lost sync with the blockchain. To fix this, we've added a feature to reset your local data without affecting your rewards—they’ll remain safely stored in the system.
Here's How to Fix It:
Click the Settings icon in the top right corner.
Select RESET and then confirm.
That’s it! You’re back on track.
We’re committed to continually improving your experience, and your feedback makes that possible. Thank you for helping us shape the future of Crystal Caves!
