Gold Fest Season 2 closes with prize pool at $1.5 million after Digathon goal is met - eGamers.io
Gold Fest Season 2 concluded on November 1 with a total prize pool of $1.5 million, after the community successfully met the Digathon goal to add the final $250,000.
Season 2 of Gold Fest ran as a standalone mining game on Telegram, featuring mascot Nuggy, and launched on August 20. Players could increase their share of the prize pool by tunneling through mines, completing tasks, reaching distance milestones, opening reward boxes, and progressing through a Season Pass.
Digathon success
The prize pool started at $1 million and grew to $1.25 million during the season. The final $250,000 depended on the Digathon weekend event, where nGRND promised to contribute if players collectively dug 25 million meters within 48 hours. The community achieved this goal, with depth tasks offering 100x rewards during that period.
Reaching the target also kicked off The Golden Shower, a week of bonus giveaways and rewards.
Reward distribution
Season 2 offered various prizes including nine Gold Telegram Gifts, a Play Solana Gen 1, an iPhone 17, AirPods Pro 3, and a $10,000 Plush Pepe. According to GAMEE, 5,195 players won at least one prize during the season's draws and giveaways.
To claim rewards, players need an nGRND Digital Soul-Bound Token (DSBT) obtained through the Gold Fest app. Gold Points convert to $NUGS in Dig It, then to $GOLD, and finally to staked NGRND in the nGRND Gold Protocol. Players must claim $NUGS before conversion to $GOLD.
