đDear mining pools,
Weâre seeing a clear downtrend in miner revenue. The main drivers: a lower BTC price, rising network difficulty, halving, an empty mempool, and higher electricity costs. In parallel, more infrastructure is shifting toward AI, which over time can weaken L1 security and the ecosystemâs resilienceâŹď¸
Our solution is additional subsidies for Bitcoin miners computed from Bitcoinâs L1 data via nBits. This is not a sale; itâs a data feature. Accruals are already reflected on your taproot addresses and can be verified on L1.
How to participate
⢠Claim your share of $NAT, as ANTPOOL has already done.
⢠Add $NAT to your miner dashboard, as SpiderPool has done.
âšď¸Why this benefits your pool
⢠Retention and hashrate loyalty. Miners need a second economic gauge beyond BTC rewards. The $NAT widget records their contribution to a security-budget-ready flow, gives them a reason to stay with your pool, and enables gamification, quarterly reports, and âTop $NAT Earnerâ badges.
⢠Free PR and differentiation. The first L1-verified synthetic-reward counter for miners is a real news hook for Crypto media and your social channels, without changing BTC payout logic.
⢠Simple integration. You already log blocks and nBits. $NAT indexing is based on open-source code (ord-tap / the TAP stack). The TAP team will assist with implementation, building on SpiderPoolâs experience. Start with a read-only widget.
⢠Enterprise-grade metric. Funds and data centers ask how to show security contribution beyond BTC. A $NAT panel is a clear KPI, similar to SROI, that fits neatly into reports.
⢠No conflict with your payout model. Showing $NAT in the dashboard does not change BTC distribution. Itâs an analytics layer and brand goodwill. Later, you can add claim/withdraw as an optional, opt-in product.
⢠Act now. You can launch a new product on your existing operational base, deliver extra value to miners, and differentiate without increasing costs.
