Mining
Mining Mechanics
Mining is the core engine of BTB’s token economy, designed to reward long-term participation while ensuring sustainable token issuance. Mining rewards depend on three main factors: miner hashrate, total network hashrate, and the year-specific daily BTB emission schedule.
Reward Calculation Formula
BTB uses a proportional reward distribution model based on network hashrate. Each miner earns BTB according to its share of the total active mining power:
Miner Reward = (Miner Hashrate / Total Network Hashrate) × Daily BTB EmissionRewards accumulate continuously, but the distribution is settled only when the user claims. Upon claiming, the miner’s state updates — including hashrate decay and cumulative earnings indexing — ensuring rewards reflect the exact mining period.
This design promotes fairness: miners earn rewards precisely according to their real contribution to the network at any point in time.
Lifecycle of Miners
Each NFT miner starts with a fixed initial hashrate upon purchase and follows a 3-year lifecycle:
Duration: 3 years (1,095 days)
End State: Hashrate drops to 0 instantly
Yearly Decay of Daily BTB Emission
The mining emission schedule decreases every year to ensure long-term sustainability and to emulate diminishing block subsidies similar to major proof-of-work networks.
Annual daily BTB emission levels:
Y1
40,000
Y2
34,732
Y3
30,145
Y4
26,182
Y5
22,730
Y6
19,752
Y7
17,146
Y8
14,889
Y9
12,924
Y10
11,221
The declining emission curve ensures the following:
BTB becomes increasingly scarce over time
Early miners benefit from higher issuance
Long-term miners still earn value due to reduced competition and decreasing supply
This combination of miner-level hashrate decay and network-level emission decay creates a balanced economy where long-term participation is rewarded while inflation reduces predictably.
