# How Does Goose Miner Works?

## 1. Goose Miner Management & Yield Optimization

### Mining Yields by Goose Tier

| Goose Type    | Rewards                             | veGoose Rate |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------ |
| Classic Goose | Airdrop reward certificates         | 10           |
| Ugly Duckling | 2x reward boost +  cash rewards     | 110          |
| White Swan    | 3x dividend + 3x cash rewards       | 620          |
| Golden Goose  | Top-tier asset with maximum rewards | 2140         |

### 2. Key to Mining Success - Keep Your Geese Awake!

<kbd>*<mark style="color:orange;">The secret is keeping your geese "awake" - only awake geese can mine rewards for you!</mark>*</kbd>

**Key Rules**:

⚠️ Geese enter dormancy after 72 hours without feeding&#x20;

⚠️ No mining rewards during dormancy

**Feeding Resource Acquisition**

1. **Golden Coins & Grass**

* 1 grass = 20 Golden Coins
* 1 USDT = 10,000 Golden Coins
* Ultra-low daily maintenance cost
* Can purchase through USDT or earn from tasks, like[ community campaign.](https://x.com/GoldenGoose_app/status/1888059418295812413)

### 3. Lifecycle Management

```lua
--> Active Phase: Continuous feeding
     Active --> Dormant: 72h inactivity
     Dormant --> Recovery: 48h feeding
     Recovery --> Active: Fully restored
     Dormant --> Death: Permanent inactivity

```

*Tip: Keep geese active to maximize yields.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.goose.farm/game-mode/how-does-goose-miner-works.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
