Structure

Each lesson is a topic. Each level of a lesson costs more CRS and adds more CRS/hour to your mining rate. Maxing a lesson means taking it to L10. Maxing all 30 lessons to L10 costs 230,000,000 CRS total and brings you to Level 10 / 24,000 USBI (with welcome grant).

What a lesson card looks like

A lesson card has four parts: Reading the card teaches you something. Pressing Upgrade boosts your mining.

Cost formula

Each subsequent level doubles in cost. The 1.217595 global multiplier is calibrated so the sum of all 300 upgrades equals 230M CRS exactly.

Bonus formula

A lesson at L10 produces 10× the per-hour bonus of the same lesson at L1.

Aggregate milestones

Strategy — order of upgrades

There is no single “right” order, but two general approaches work:

Round-robin

Take all 30 lessons to L1, then all to L2, then all to L3, etc. This produces the smoothest mining-rate growth.

Domain-first

Pick a topic you find most relevant to your trading style and max it before moving on. This produces faster early gains in one area but uneven mining-rate growth. The math is symmetric — you reach all-L10 at the same cost either way. The choice is about pacing, not optimization.

What lessons are about

The 30 lessons span trading, exchanges, DeFi, BiniChain, BaiDEX, agents, security, and tokenomics topics. The MiniLessons v4.0 spec defines the exact list. Examples:
  • “What’s an order book?”
  • “How does an AMM differ from an order book?”
  • “What is a liquidity pool?”
  • “What’s a launchpad?”
  • “How do agent-managed pools work?”
  • “What are token sinks?”
A user who maxes all 30 lessons has read 30 short crypto explainers as a side effect of upgrading their mining.

Spending CRS on lessons creates XP

Every CRS spent on a lesson upgrade counts toward XP. Maxing all lessons gives you 230M XP — see User Levels to translate that into a level.
