HashCloud Mining Rewards Protocol
Overview
HashCloud introduces a dynamic and transparent mining rewards framework purpose-built for decentralized GPU compute. The model evaluates every miner based on:
Real computational throughput
Staked token contribution
VIP tier multipliers
14-day epoch scoring
Unlike static mining systems, HashCloud’s reward model adapts each epoch to reflect network activity, compute supply, and governance updates.
1. Reward Formula
The core of the reward mechanism is built on three components:
base_power = loops_done / compute_time
final_score = base_power * stake_multiplier * vip_multiplierEach miner’s reward is proportional to the verified compute they provide and their economic + community participation.
2. Base Power
Definition
base_power measures the miner’s raw GPU throughput.
loops_done — Total validated GPU computation loops in an epoch
compute_time — Total active processing time (seconds)
base_power = loops_done / compute_timePurpose
Normalizes differences between GPUs
Rewards consistent uptime
Reflects real performance without vendor bias
Integrity
Every loop undergoes Merkle Subset Auditing
Invalid or manipulated results are rejected
Timestamped logs ensure session integrity
This ensures base power represents real computation.
3. Stake Multiplier
Staking increases a miner’s reward potential while strengthening ecosystem liquidity.
stake_multiplier = 1 + (staked_amount / stake_ratio)Key Notes
Multiplier increases linearly up to a capped maximum (e.g., 2.5×)
Unstaking before epoch end may reduce multiplier credit
Boost is recalculated every epoch
Benefits
Stabilizes token circulation
Rewards long-term participation
Supports predictable liquidity flow
4. VIP Multiplier
HashCloud’s VIP system enhances rewards for active community members.
vip_multiplier = 1.0 → 3.0Bronze
Default
1.25x
Silver
2 active epochs + minimum stake
1.5x
Gold
Contributor / consistent miner
1.75x
Diamond
Governance role / validator participation
2.0x
VIP tiers reset and update every epoch.
5. Epoch Distribution Model
HashCloud operates using 14-day epochs.
Epoch Steps
Aggregate all verified compute data
Compute every miner’s
final_scoreSum global network score
Distribute rewards:
miner_reward = (final_score / total_network_score) * reward_poolAdaptive Reward Pool
Reward pool recalibrates each epoch based on:
Protocol revenue
Marketplace fees
DAO contributions
Unclaimed or penalized rewards
The system scales naturally with ecosystem growth.
6. Reward Pool Inflow
The reward pool is fed from multiple on-chain sources:
Sources
% of network transaction fees
Revenue from compute or marketplace integrations
Community/DAO injections
Adjustment factors (penalties, unused allocations)
Sustainability
By tying rewards to network activity, the system creates a self-balancing economic loop.
7. Verification & Anti-Fraud
HashCloud uses Merkle Subset Auditing to verify compute results while keeping bandwidth low.
Security Features
Miner submits all loop digests
Server verifies a random subset
Any failed proof invalidates the entire batch
Probabilistic detection defeats fake-loop attempts
This ensures the network rewards only honest computation.
8. Governance Integration
The governance council or DAO can modify system rules:
Adjust stake multiplier ratios
Change epoch length
Select reward pool token composition
Update VIP rules
Approve mining protocol upgrades
Governance ensures the system evolves fairly and transparently.
9. Future Extensions
Planned upgrades include:
Coming Soon
Dynamic GPU Benchmarking
Smart Epoch Rebalancing
Cross-chain reward distribution
AI-driven compute difficulty tuning
These expansions aim to scale HashCloud into a global decentralized computation layer.
Summary
HashCloud unifies verified compute, staking economics, and community governance into a single reward protocol.
The result:
Fair
Transparent
Scalable
Hard to cheat
Sustainable long-term
Miners who provide real GPU power — and participate in the ecosystem — earn the highest rewards.
