# 📶How to Mine BDAG?

Here’s the breakdown of the process of how to mine on BlockDAG. Make sure you follow each step carefully.

### *<mark style="color:blue;">Step 1:</mark>* <mark style="color:blue;"></mark><mark style="color:blue;">Set Up Your Hardware</mark>

* To start mining, set up your hardware first. Here, we will use ASIC Miner to get started.&#x20;
* Ensure a stable power supply for ASIC miners. Connect it to a reliable power supply so it can’t experience interrupted operations.&#x20;
* As ASIC miners don't have direct access to WiFi, try to connect them directly to Ethernet cables. By doing so, a stable and fast connection will be maintained to help efficient mining.&#x20;

### *<mark style="color:blue;">Step 2:</mark>* <mark style="color:blue;"></mark><mark style="color:blue;">Establish Network Connection</mark>

* Once your hardware is set up, fix a proper network connection for better performance.&#x20;
* Ensure each ASIC is recognised on local networks. It ensures they can communicate easily with each other and the mining pool.&#x20;

### *<mark style="color:blue;">Step 3:</mark>* <mark style="color:blue;"></mark><mark style="color:blue;">Mining Pool Configuration</mark>

* Mining pools share the rewards within your network, so connecting ASIC miners to a mining pool is necessary.&#x20;
* Log in to the control panel of each ASIC Miner and fill out the required fields to connect the mining pool. These include protocols, Addresses, usernames, and other relevant information.&#x20;
* Confirm that the miners' control panel is ready to perform. Check connection and configuration before starting.&#x20;
