SoapBox Pool
The SoapBox Pool is the SoapBox ecosystem's Mining pool. It lets many miners combine their hashrate and split rewards by contribution, so you earn a steady stream from your first accepted share instead of waiting to win a whole block solo. It runs more than one algorithm, and it is even mineable straight from a browser tab.
What you can mine
- RandomX (CPU) — the CPU-friendly, ASIC-resistant algorithm used by Monero. It runs well on ordinary processors, which is what makes browser mining possible.
- Etchash (GPU) — the GPU algorithm behind Ethereum Classic and the PRANA compute chain. Laptop-friendly; it keeps a DAG in memory.
- Browser mining — start contributing hashrate from a web page, no install required, and earn from your first share.
How pooled mining works
Solo mining rarely wins on a busy chain, so a pool aggregates everyone's work. You submit shares that prove you're doing the work; the pool pays out proportionally when it finds blocks. See Mining for the underlying mechanics — hashing, difficulty, shares, and block rewards.

How it fits
Mining PRANA here isn't wasted work: PRANA pairs classic proof-of-work with useful AI/GPU compute, so hashrate you contribute helps run real workloads. Learn to set up and tune a miner at the Witness School.
