Hashrate Boost

1. Overview

BTB Hashrate boost is a mechanism that allows users to increase mining output by staking the platform token BTB for a fixed lock period. The Boost design is USD-anchored, meaning staking requirements scale with the USD tier value of a miner, rather than a fixed BTB amount. This makes the system more stable under token price volatility and easier to operate across multiple miner tiers.

Boost is designed to be:

• Simple for users: choose a miner (or all miners), select a lock duration (up to 1 year), stake BTB, and receive an estimated acceleration multiplier.

• Predictable for the protocol: staking value is converted to USD using a locked reference price at order time.

• Configurable for operators: key parameters can be adjusted to tune incentives, user participation, and tier demand.

2. Key Concepts

How the Multiplier (M) WorksFinal Multiplier M = 1 + (Staking Ratio × Time Factor)

• M is currently capped at 5× (higher values still under internal review — we do not plan to allow extremely high multipliers like 12× at this stage)

Staking Ratio = Value of your staked BTB ÷ (10% of your total miner investment value) Example: If your machines are worth 10,000 USDT in total, the benchmark (10%) = 1,000 USDT. Staking 1,000 USDT BTB → Ratio = 1.0 Staking 2,000 USDT BTB → Ratio = 2.0 Staking 5,000 USDT BTB → Ratio = 5.0Time Factor = 0.25 × (staking days ÷ 7)

• Calculated in days (not weeks anymore — clearer and more proportional)

• Maximum considered period = 365 days (1 year)

Quick Reference – What Multiplier Can You Expect?

Staked Amount (for 10,000 USDT machines)	Staking Period	Approx. Multiplier (M)	Notes
1,000 USDT (10%)	28 days (~1 month)	~2.0×	Classic “double hashrate” benchmark
1,000 USDT (10%)	90 days (~3 months)	~3.25×	Good mid-term commitment
5,000 USDT (50%)	30 days (~1 month)	~5.0×	Current realistic maximum example
2,400 USDT (24%)	150 days (~5 months)	~10–12× (theoretical)	Not currently supported — cap applies

Important: The system enforces a maximum multiplier of 5× at present. Even if the formula gives a higher number, your actual boost will be limited to 5×.Why the Cap?We want staking to be rewarding — but not so strong that users stop buying new miners and only stake. A healthy balance keeps the whole ecosystem growing: more machine sales → stronger network → better returns for everyone.How It Works in Real Life (Examples)Scenario 1 – Conservative boost

• Your miners total 10,000 USDT

• You stake 1,000 USDT worth of BTB (ratio = 1.0)

• You keep it staked for 28 days → Time Factor ≈ 1.0 → M ≈ 2.0× → 10 TH/s becomes ~20 TH/s effective

Scenario 2 – Max current boost

• Same 10,000 USDT machines

• You stake 5,000 USDT BTB (ratio = 5.0)

• Hold for ~30 days → M reaches 5.0× (current cap) → 10 TH/s becomes 50 TH/s effective

Scenario 3 – Buying more machines after staking

• You already have M = 4× on 100 TH/s base

• You buy another 50 TH/s face value machine

• New base = 150 TH/s, but boost only applies to old part until next update → effective M drops (dilution)

• To restore / improve M → stake more BTB or wait longer (boost recalculates on your new total base)
