MemHash
A pseudo-mining game with a real on-chain economy. Players trade hash power between each other, smart contracts settle rewards, prices form through bonding curves — all inside a Telegram Mini App.
The problem we were hired to solve.
Earlier mining-game attempts broke into farms within a week, ran on fixed token-per-tap rates that ignored supply, and patched anti-cheat reactively. Players could see the floor; bots could see it faster.
Hash-power becomes an order book. Bonding curve is the price oracle. Every reward is a contract call. Anti-bot rejects bad signups before they ever earn a hash. Live WebSocket feeds keep the dashboard honest.
Context
Most clicker-style mining games skip the hard parts: anti-bot, real tokenomics, and a price discovery layer that isn't a fixed multiplier. The brief was to build a mining game that behaves like an actual market — hash-power as a tradable asset, every settlement on-chain, and an anti-cheat layer that holds up to the kind of farms that ruin clicker economies in week two.
Approach
Node.js bot core on grammY for the entrypoint plus a Telegram Mini App for the trading and mining UI. FunC smart contracts on TON handle reward distribution and hash-power transfers — every trade and every block reward is a settled on-chain operation, not an internal ledger entry. Bonding curves live on-contract so price discovery is structural, not editorial. WebSocket gateway pushes live prices to all open clients without polling. Anti-bot layer combines device fingerprinting, behavioural rate-limit, and TON Connect wallet age checks — most farm operators bounce on signup. Postgres for user state, Redis for hot mining counters, BullMQ for retry queues on contract calls.

Key features
- ◆Pseudo-mining loop with a real on-chain economy — every hash settles via FunC contract on TON
- ◆Hash-power as a tradable asset between players — order book, not fixed rates
- ◆Bonding-curve price discovery — supply moves price live, no oracle dependency
- ◆Anti-bot layer most clicker games skip — device fingerprint + behavioural rate-limit
- ◆Real-time WebSocket price feed — dashboards stay synced without polling
Results
Hash-power trades settle in under two seconds at peak. First month rejected 12,000+ bot/farm signup attempts before they touched the economy. Stable above 8,000 concurrent miners. Owner ships balance changes by editing a contract — not a config file.
Tech stack
What the client said.
Wanted a Telegram mining game that didn't collapse the moment farms found it. The team built a real on-chain economy — hash power as a tradable asset, FunC contracts for every settlement, an anti-bot layer that actually filters. First month rejected twelve thousand farm signups. The economy held.
