# Mountain Miner Overview

Mountain Miner is Season 1 of Altitude's DeFi miner ecosystem product.

Altitude is a project built for the long term, but Mountain Miner introduces something more fun, shorter term, and designed to bring a new audience into the ecosystem.

Mountain Miner is inspired by classic DeFi miner-style products from the original DeFi boom, but adapted for the Altitude ecosystem.

| Reward Token    | USDC                                               |
| Daily ROI       | 0.5% to 1%                                         |
| Max Payout      | 3X of net deposit                                  |
| Deposit Fee     | 5%                                                 |
| Claim Fee       | 5%                                                 |

The player deposits USDC, pays a 5% deposit fee, and can claim rewards up to a maximum payout of 3X their net deposit, or until the contract balance is empty.

All rewards claimed have a 5% claim fee.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Mountain Miner is a high-risk DeFi miner product. Daily ROI is not guaranteed profit. Claims depend on contract rules, available USDC balance, user behaviour, and the wider ecosystem.
