# Boosting & Fusion System

## ⚡ Boosting Mechanics: Maximize Temporarily with $HUB

**Boosting** allows users to temporarily increase their miner’s hashrate using $HUB — for a limited time or tied to events. It’s the DeFi version of power-ups.

### 🎯 Types of Boosts

| Type                | Duration | Effect                             | Cost (in $HUB)      |
| ------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| **Hourly Boost**    | 3–6 hrs  | +25% virtual hashrate              | Low                 |
| **Epoch Boost**     | 1–7 days | +50–100% hashrate (scales by tier) | Medium–High         |
| **Permanent Boost** | Forever  | +X% fixed boost via NFT or item    | One-time + rare NFT |

### 🔐 Boost Stacking

* Time-based boosts can **stack with fusion upgrades**
* Special boosts might be **earned via leaderboard, airdrop, or partner campaign**

### 🧠 Why Fusion + Boosts?

| Mechanic   | Purpose                                      |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Fusion** | Long-term progression & commitment           |
| **Boosts** | Short-term optimization, gamified incentives |

Together, they form a dynamic **economy of progression** — not just speculation.
