You don’t have to claim anything

There is no claim flow. There is no claim button. There is no portal to log into.When a block is found during your active Block Party window, cbBTC arrives in the wallet that minted your NFT. That’s it.

​
How your slice is calculated

When the pool finds a block, the reward splits two ways:
  • Finder reward (1 BTC) — paid in BTC by the Bitcoin network, to the address that solved the block. Hashpower NFT mints don’t compete for this — it goes to whoever physically solved the block.
  • Pool remainder (~2.1 BTC + fees) — split proportionally among everyone who contributed work to that round, including hardware miners, NFT-backed rentals, and (when live) agent-backed rentals.
Your slice of the remainder is calculated by hashrate contribution: 
your slice = (your hashrate during the round)
             ────────────────────────────────  × pool remainder
             (total pool hashrate during the round)
The remainder is converted to cbBTC and sent to your mint wallet on Base.

​
When you get paid

Payouts arrive in cbBTC on Base, typically within ~24 hours of a block being found.
  1. Mint. Your Hashpower NFT is created and queues for the next Block Party.
  2. Block Party opens. Your hashpower activates for the duration of your tier.
  3. Block is found (if luck holds). The 1 BTC finder reward is paid by Bitcoin consensus to the address that solved it. The remainder (~2.1 BTC + fees) lands in the pool wallet.
  4. Distribution. The operator runs the round through the payout simulator and broadcasts the cbBTC distribution on Base, proportional to each NFT’s contributed hashpower.
  5. Payout. Your share lands in the wallet that minted, automatically. No claim flow.
Holding multiple NFTs across multiple Block Parties stacks your hashpower share linearly across each Party.

​
More NFTs = bigger slice + higher rank

Two effects when you mint more:

Bigger payout slice

Your proportional share of the remainder scales linearly with your contributed hashpower. 2× the mints = 2× the slice (assuming same Block Party).

Higher leaderboard rank

More hashpower moves you up the public Top Difficulties and Top Loyalty boards on the dashboard. Special bonus rewards drop here occasionally.

​
What happens after my mint expires

The hashpower window for your NFT ends when the tier’s duration elapses. The NFT itself stays in your wallet permanently and remains an on-chain asset — art and metadata are stored fully on-chain, not pinned to IPFS. The hashpower window does not auto-renew. To get hashpower into the next Block Party, mint again.

​
Transferring your NFT

The Hashpower NFT is a standard ERC-721 on Base and can be transferred or sold. Note: for currently-active mints, share-credit attribution is still bound to the original minter — transferring during an active window moves the art but not the active rental. If the pool finds a block during your NFT’s active period, the BTC goes to the wallet derived from whoever minted it, not the current holder. If you want exposure to future Block Parties, mint a new one or wait for the secondary market.

​
Tax and reporting

Mining rewards may be taxable in your jurisdiction. We do not provide tax advice. Your wallet’s transaction history on Base is the source of truth — every mint, every payout, every transfer is publicly verifiable on Basescan.
