Bean is a gamified on-chain mining protocol built on Base. Players compete in 60-second rounds to win ETH and earn BEAN tokens. The protocol went live on February 25, 2026. It combines competitive gameplay with real DeFi mechanics, such as real ETH stakes, on-chain randomness, and live rewards in every round. There are 25 blocks in a 5×5 grid that the game runs on. Each round, players put ETH on blocks. When the timer runs out, on-chain randomness picks one block as the winner. All deployed ETH has a 1% admin fee taken out, and the losers’ pool has a 10% vault fee added to it. Miners on the winning block get a fair share of the remaining ETH from losing blocks. Every round also makes one BEAN token, which goes to the miner on the winning block.
