# Mining Cycle 

Mining Cycle:

* Each mining cycle lasts 2 weeks, during which miners operate their rigs with a fuel rod.
* Miners earn $AUR tokens based on their rig type's daily earning rate.
* At the end of the cycle, miners can sell their $AUR tokens in a C2C market or use them to mint new fuel rods for the next cycle.
* After the 2-week cycle, there is a 3-day break where miners can use the refinery to produce new fuel rods for their rigs using $AUR tokens earned from the previous cycle.
