cPen Ink Mining Ends July 30: HATN Mining Starts

cPen INK Mining Ends July 30: What Users Must Do Next

Something's changing for cPen's community, and it's not a small tweak. The team has just dropped an update that resets the clock on how cPen INK mining works, and it comes with a hard deadline attached.

Here's the headline part: mining for $INK officially wraps up on July 30, 2026. The very next day, July 31, the project shifts into a fresh phase called HATN Mining. So if you've been wondering when cPen INK mining actually ends, now you know exactly where you stand.

What Is cPen Network, Anyway

cPen bills itself as a closed-loop mobile mining economy. That means users can mine digital assets straight from their phone. No mining rigs, no expensive hardware, just an app.

The setup runs on an ad-revenue buyback model. A portion of the app's advertising income goes toward buying CPEN on the open market. According to the official tokenomics breakdown, supply is split like this:

INK has its own allocation too, and it leans even more community-heavy:

So What Is HATN Mining?

HATN is the project's next chapter once cPen INK mining closes. The team says it'll keep preparing INK Distribution for existing miners while building out HATN alongside "stronger infrastructure." 

It's being framed as part of a longer-term push toward a more sustainable economic model for the mining ecosystem.

Getting Your INK Distribution: What You Need to Do

Before distribution happens, there are two things the team wants users to complete:

• Finish KYC liveness verification inside the app.

• Add a self-custody wallet on BNB Smart Chain.

That second point matters a lot here. This isn't about linking any wallet; it's specifically about genuine Web3 wallet integration rather than an exchange account.

Supported options include MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and OKX Web3 Wallet. Setting up MetaMask for the first time inside the app? 

Make sure you're using the actual self-custody app, not an exchange login screen.

Here's where it gets important: BitMart wallets, or any other centralized exchange deposit wallet, simply won't work for distribution. 

That's the basic difference between a self-custody wallet and an exchange wallet, really; one keeps your private keys with you, the other doesn't. 

If you'd previously linked a CEX address, the advice is to swap it out quickly in the app and lock the address if that feature is available to you.

The Buyback and Burn Schedule

CPEN's burn schedule follows a quarterly rhythm, executed on the last day of January, April, July, and October. 

Buybacks accumulate in a public wallet ahead of each burn, and transaction hashes get shared on X so anyone can verify the burns on-chain.

There's also Burnchase, a separate voluntary burn system. Under this model:

• 70% is permanently burned

• 20% goes to a verified referrer

• 10% funds the Chasepot prize pool

Double Buyback Campaign and Chasepot

To mark the shift from INK to HATN, the team's running a four-week event. The Double Buyback Campaign runs from July 13 through August 9, 2026.

Separately, Chasepot is a free weekly draw open to KYC-verified members who've kept an active mining streak. Winning numbers are pulled via Chainlink VRF, and there's no entry cost.

Worth noting too: 30% of the total supply sits in Pinklock, vesting at 2% at TGE plus 2% every 30-day cycle. This applies to both CPEN and INK allocations.

Is It Legit? A Balanced Look

Mobile mining apps as a category, this one included, tend to follow a similar pattern. Value depends on continued ad revenue, ongoing KYC checks, and community growth holding up over time. 

On the plus side, burn transactions and wallet addresses are all publicly checkable on BscScan, which does add a layer of transparency.

That said, none of this guarantees future value or eligibility for distribution. As always, verify claims through official channels before acting on them.
