Mining XELIS (XEL)

How to mine XELIS (XEL) with GPU (Xelishash V3)

Jan 9th, 2026 (updated Jan 13, 2026) by NushyPool

XELIS is a proof-of-work blockchain with a friendly community and a lively ecosystem, which makes it a fun choice for GPU miners. It is a BlockDAG network, but it uses a different technical design than Kaspa. XELIS uses the Xelishash V3 proof-of-work algorithm, which is best suited for GPU mining. This guide shows how to connect to NushyPool and start mining XEL on PPS or Solo.

What you need

• A XELIS wallet address (XEL addresses start with xel:).
• A GPU miner that supports Xelishash V3.
• A worker name (you will use it as [address].[worker]).

Recommended mining software

Below is a short list of popular miners (GPU and CPU). Check the release notes for Xelishash V3 support.

Dev fee values are from official miner docs.

Connection to pool

To start mining

If Windows warns that a miner is "potentially unwanted software", you may need to explicitly allow it in Windows Security.

$ ping nushypool.com

Use [address].[worker] as your username so the pool can attribute shares to your worker.

SRBMiner example (PPS):

$nvidia-smi -pm ENABLED     # enable power limit
$nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl 240    # power limit for NVIDIA RTX 3080
$nvidia-smi -i 0 -lgc 1470  # setup graphical clock
$nvidia-smi -i 0 -lmc 5001  # setup memory clock
$./SRBMiner-MULTI --algorithm xelishashv3 --pool nushypool.com:40009 --wallet [address].[worker]
$nvidia-smi -i 0 -rgc       # reset graphical clock 
$nvidia-smi -i 0 -rmc       # reset memory clock
$nvidia-smi -pm DISABLED    # reset power mode

lolMiner example (PPS):

$ ./lolMiner --algo XELISHASHV3 --pool nushypool.com:40009 --user [address].[worker]

You can also generate a ready-to-run command on the XEL Pool Page using the "Start Mining" button.

Good luck!
