AntTycoon guide: grow your colony and claim USDT

AntTycoon is the newest game from the team behind the Scrapper games. Your anthill idle-mines Antcoins, paid out as USDT to FaucetPay, and Sugar, which grows the colony. It paid my first claim on Oct 28, 2026. Here's how it works, from my own colony. (AntTycoon's developer is a partner of mine; it gets the same scorecard as every other site.)

The core loop in 30 seconds

1. Sign in with your FaucetPay email. No password, private key or seed.
2. Split your hashrate between Antcoins (what you withdraw) and Sugar (what grows the colony).
3. Spend Sugar on ants and new nests, so every nest mines faster for good.
4. Keep your army topped up, and claim Antcoins to FaucetPay from 0.5 Antcoins.

Split mining: Antcoins or Sugar?

Use the − and + buttons to choose where your hashrate goes. Early on, Sugar builds the colony faster, and every nest you add raises your hashrate permanently. I run 10% Antcoins and 90% Sugar right now, because I'm still unlocking nests. Shift toward Antcoins once your colony is bigger. You can change the split any time, and you can also convert claimable Antcoins into Sugar.

Nests and ants

There are 32 nests. The first is free, and each new one costs more Sugar to unlock and adds more hashrate than the last. Inside each nest you add ants (up to 10 per nest, +8 H/s each) with three Sugar buys:

Fill a nest, then save for the next unlock.

Your army and the beetles

This is the one thing to watch. Your army holds up to 100 ants, and beetles kill about 4 ants an hour. Every nest mines at your army's strength, so a half-empty army means half-speed mining. The game shows how long until it's empty.

Earn activities send reinforcements:

• 📦 Food drop: free Sugar plus a little Antcoins.
• 📺 Short ads: a little Sugar and Antcoins each.
• 🎡 Spin every 4 hours, plus 🎁 Bonus Wall, 💵 MoneyRain, 🧭 Offerwall.me and 📣 User Ads.

Visit at least every 48 hours. After 48 hours away, your army stops mining completely (0%) until you return.

Your anthill: permanent upgrades

Spend mined Antcoins on three anthill chambers for permanent bonuses:

• 🥚 Queen's Nursery (50 levels): more hashrate.
• ⛏️ Tunnel Works (25 levels): more upgrade points per part.
• 🍬 Sugar Mill (25 levels): more Sugar.

Same choice as the Scrapper games' training: cash the Antcoins out, or reinvest them.

Daily extras

• 🔥 Daily streak: one visit a day, with bigger bonuses toward day 7.
• ✅ Daily quests: spin the wheel, claim a food drop, earn Sugar from PTC, upgrade a nest and complete 3 Bonus Wall tasks.
• 🤝 Referrals: 10% of a friend's Sugar once they unlock their first nest.

Cashing out

Hit Claim once you have at least 0.5 Antcoins. They're paid as USDT straight to FaucetPay, and the game lists every payout with its FaucetPay ID. The amounts are tiny: my first claim of 5.44 Antcoins landed as 0.00005438 USDT. See it on my AntTycoon review and payout proof page.

AntTycoon says its rewards are funded by advertising, with no deposits and no "invest to earn". VIP is optional. The mining is a simulated game loop: it doesn't use your device to mine anything. The rules: one account per person or household, and no VPNs, proxies or bots.
