A web product.
A Telegram experience.
MineX runs as a React web application inside Telegram. Players build a virtual mining rig, collect and upgrade GPU items, join reward pools and explore game modes without leaving the messenger.
I owned development across the stack: the interface, Express API, database design and optimization, crypto payment flows, Telegram bot, VPS setup and day-to-day operation. The product grew through frequent releases over roughly ten months.
One connected economy
Items, progression & social play
The GPU store, inventory and upgrades gave players ways to build their rigs. Referrals, leaderboards, group pools and purchase gifting connected personal progression with other players.
Games & rewards
Loot boxes, scratch cards and lottery rounds added different ways to interact with the game economy. Each mode connected back to player balances, item ownership and reward distribution.
./Game detailA simple game.
A simple game.
A shared economy.
Players reveal a nine-tile board and look for three matching symbols. Ticket availability and the prize pool sit alongside the game, keeping the next action clear.
Scratch cards connect another short game session to the same balances and rewards used across MineX.
Beyond the interface
Automated TON & Jetton payments
Built cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals for TON and Jettons on The Open Network, integrating payment flows with application balances and the internal economy.
Backend & database ownership
Developed the Node.js / Express backend and designed and optimized the production MySQL database. The work also included preparation for a future PostgreSQL migration.
VPS security & operations
Configured the VPS and its security, deployed updates and maintained the running application. Administrative tools supported account investigation, abuse review, restarts and recovery when issues occurred.
Telegram integration & broadcasts
The Mini App worked alongside a Telegram bot, including broadcasts to a large user base. Bot communication, referrals and the web interface formed parts of the same product.
Built to keep evolving
Across its full lifetime, MineX recorded 200,000 users in its database. At its peak, MineX reached 80,000 monthly active users with approximately 1,000 users online concurrently. Keeping the reward economy, payments and database responsive was an ongoing part of development alongside new features.
Regular updates—typically once or twice a week—expanded the product gradually. My responsibility covered the full path from an idea and implementation to deployment, monitoring issues and restoring service.
