Growthe Network
Start farming with spare hard drive storage and get rewarded with XCH. Simple to start and easy to scale.
Accessible and Scalable
Farm → Rewards → Repeat
Mine Farm from your home using spare hard drive storage, without the huge electric bill.
Help secure Chia’s decentralized blockchain and get rewarded.
How It Works
Using Chia’s app, plot files are generated with random hashes and transferred to a hard drive, filling up spare storage space.
Plot files are continuously scanned for valid proofs using a lightweight process through Chia’s native app.
Once proofs in the plot files are validated, a farmer creates a block to add to Chia’s blockchain.
You can get rewarded with XCH. Join a pool (farming community) for more frequent reward opportunities.

The next evolution in Blockchain
Secure Like PoW.
Green Like PoS.
We’ve built a more secure and greener consensus model (PoST) combining the best of today’s popular blockchains.
The basis of decentralized networks makes blockchain technology possible.
Server dependence to maintain the network’s operations skyrockets energy demands to unsustainable levels.
Proof of Stake may have lowered energy consumption, but raised security concerns.
Ethereum adopts a Proof of Stake mechanism with many still questioning how secure Proof of Stake really is.
Chia retains the value of blockchain technology by combining the security of Proof of Work and the energy efficiency of Proof of Stake.
