Welcome!
COIN App allows you to gather rewards everywhere you go with your smart phone, all while enjoying mini games and interactions with other Geominers.
You can collect these rewards by pressing the handy Pickaxe button (Or use Auto Explore) and you’ll earn more rewards when you have a SentinelX with you while you travel, or by using a paid plan for additional perks. (You can buy one here if you haven't already)
Note: You can Geomine without a SentinelX or paid plan, you just won't collect 12X as much or have additional perks!
This article does not include the SentinelX setup. If you will also be setting up a SentinelX for the first time, please see this article as well:

Step 1: Download the COIN App
COIN is a smartphone app, so you can download it on both the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store on Android.
Download for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1450443351
Download for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=network.xyo.coin
Step 2: Make a COIN Account
Create a COIN account so that your Geomining rewards are always kept under your email address. This way, anytime you get a new phone, you can pick up where you left off. Double-check to see if your email address is spelled correctly!
Step 3: Setting Up the App
When you first open COIN, you’ll be asked to allow location services. This is required because COIN relies on your location to let you geomine for digital assets.
If you have a SentinelX Device: Check out our SentinelX User Guide
Once you’ve finished setting up your COIN App, you’ll see a map on your screen! Now it's time to start earning COIN.
Step 4: Earning COIN
To earn your first COIN, just click the pickaxe button at the bottom of your screen. You'll see a blue ring appear around the pickaxe, as you Geomine the section (or "quadtile") you're on.
Then, you’ll see some COIN Tokens fly into your account! The counter at the top lets you know how much COIN you’ve earned so far. That’s it! You will unlock more features swiftly as you continue to Geomine. Explore and have fun!
If you didn't earn COIN, make sure to check the following:
- Did someone already geomine your quadtile? If the section has already been geomined, it will be shaded on your map. You can still mine this tile, but expect a lower return value than a fresh tile.
- If you saw the blue ring around your pickaxe or any form of the app functioning slowly, be sure to close the app and restart and try to mine the tile once again. You can also test out different Wifi/data connections.
Step 5: What just happened?
Congratulations! You’ve just Geomined your first block -- or quadtile -- and now you’ve earned some COIN!
After you've Geomined a quadtile, you'll see the section turn grey on your map. This means the quadtile you just Geomined is now empty! It will stay this way for a short time while it replenishes. Don’t want to wait? Travel to other spots to continue geomining or tap on the tile to clear it with a minigame.
As you collect COIN, you'll store them in your COIN account. You'll also need to make a digital wallet if you'd like to redeem COIN for XYO one day.
Step 6: Redeeming your digital assets (Optional)
Once you’ve hit 10,000.00 COIN, you are eligible to trade for Cryptocurrency in an actual digital wallet. Here’s the link to show you how.
