A refreshed attendance policy went live on September 15, 2026 (UTC). It brings paid absence cover, bonus dates rewarding regular attendance, and steeper charges for long silent stretches.
Below sits every rule in plain language, along with a wallet reminder tied to pending INK payouts. Miners juggling travel, illness, or busy weeks now have formal protection built into daily rules.
According to this cPen Network News post, members receive up to three personal days each calendar year. That grant lands with a user's first mining claim or with their first HATN earning of that year.
Allowance is prorated against remaining calendar time.
Any fraction rounds up, so 0.12 becomes one whole unit.
Rollout began mid-September, so only one unit applies during 2026.
Nothing carries into next year, while unused balance cannot be cashed out.
With automatic cover switched on, personal days absorb skipped sessions. The streak survives, no missed-day charge lands, and rewards worth a single basic tap arrive in an in-app balance.

Every basic or bonus claim adds 0.02 toward vacation credit. Fifty claims therefore build one complete unit. Once personal cover runs dry, full vacation credit shields an absence with matching benefits.

Two community holidays now sit inside this policy. January 1 is first, while Attention Day falls each October 24. Qualification depends on what happened during the preceding UTC date.
Tapping Mine on that prior date qualifies you.
Personal or vacation cover on that prior date also qualifies.
Back-to-back shielded holidays qualify one another.
For October 24, tapping Mine on October 23 unlocks eligibility.
Eligible members earn twice their usual reward from every claim made during either holiday. Skipping it instead keeps a streak safe with zero charge, though nothing is credited, and no saved cover is spent.
Consistency around those two dates therefore pays better than consistency elsewhere. Miners who plan ahead can stack four taps across October 24 for maximum value.
Skipping without any shield resets an active streak and starts rising charges against in-app HATN balances. This part of cPen Network News deserves close attention, because charges double every seven consecutive uncovered gaps.
Consecutive gaps
Charge per gap
1 to 7
2.5 HATN
8 to 14
5 HATN
15 to 21
10 HATN
22 onward
Doubles again
Tapping Mine, using any shield, or clearing one qualifying holiday resets that counter. Balances never drop below zero either, so charges cannot push anyone into negative territory. Twenty-one uncovered gaps would already strip 122.5 HATN in total.
Mining follows UTC timing, and only that basic tap maintains an active run. Bonus taps stack extra rewards, yet they stay optional for streak purposes. Four taps remain available daily, with rising multipliers attached to later ones.
Recent cPen Network News also clarified an easy mix-up: HATN collected through tasks, ads, or referrals does not register as mining activity. Members must open Mine inside their app for daily progress to count.
Alongside attendance changes, this cPen Network News post confirmed that phased INK distribution starts soon. Before that begins, participants should audit their saved payout address.
Add the self-custody BSC (BEP-20) address inside the app.
Use wallets where private keys stay under your control.
Avoid centralized exchange deposit addresses completely.
Recheck spelling plus chain selection before distribution opens.
Taken together, this cPen Network News round-up rewards consistency and punishes long absences.
Three annual shields, slowly earned credits, and two double-reward dates give steady members real breathing room, while drifting away for weeks triggers doubling charges.
Full terms sit on the project's official policy page. Anyone waiting on INK should fix their wallet details now instead of scrambling once payouts begin.
