# Virtual Hashrate Mechanics
### π§ What Is Virtual Hashrate?
StrikeBit will introduce a ***virtual hashrate system*** that powers token emissions in a gamified and sustainable way β without requiring any hardware or physical infrastructure.
Your **Radiant AI Miner** is your mining unit β and its **simulated hashrate** determines how much $HUB you earn over time. This system encourages participation, upgrades, and strategy β not idle staking.
***
### π° Miner Tiers and Base Hashrate
Radiant AI Miners come in five tiers:
| Tier | Description | Base Hashrate | Bonus Options |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Bolt Miner** | Earned passively via Bolts | Variable (Bolt-based) | Boostable with Binary NFTs |
| **Hub Miner** | Earned through direct $HUB staking | 100β1,000 | Scales by lock duration |
| **Core Miner** | $299 Radiant AI Agent (legacy) | 1,500 | Legacy bonus + fusion boost |
| **Prime Miner** | $499 Radiant AI Agent (legacy) | 2,500 | Mid-tier boost |
| **Elite Miner** | $699 Radiant AI Agent (legacy) | 4,000 | Max passive hashrate |
Higher-tier miners receive **priority access**, **better claim rates**, and **more favorable upgrade paths**.
***
### π© What Powers Hashrate?
Beyond the base tier, your total hashrate is determined by:
| Method | Effect | Notes |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Staking $HUB** | +Linear hashrate (e.g. 1 hashrate per 10 $HUB) | Boostable via NFT tiers |
| **rStrike Staking** | +Bonus multiplier on total wallet hashrate | Lock duration-based scaling |
| **Bolt XP** | +Earn Bolt Miner status over time | Converts into seasonal reward class |
| **Burning $HUB** | +Instant hashrate burst (e.g. 1,000 burned = +500) | Short-term boost, introduces deflation |
| **Fusion Tokens** | +Upgrade any miner NFT to next class | Requires burn + cooldown period |
***
### π **Game Loop: Mining Flow**
1. **Acquire Miner NFTs** or **stake $HUB/rStrike**
2. Earn **Simulated Hashrate**
3. Share of **seasonal $HUB emission pool**
4. Use earned $HUB to:
* Stake again β More hashrate
* Burn for upgrades β Trait ascension
* Purchase new agents/NFTs β Further loop
* Fuel INOs or agent deployment
***
### π $HUB Integration
$HUB is more than a utility token β it fuels the **entire mining economy** of StrikeBit.
#### πΉ $HUB Use Cases in Hashrate System:
* **Burn $HUB** to permanently increase a miner's hashrate
* **Stake $HUB** to activate global miner boosts
* **Spend $HUB** on fusion materials or skin-based buffs
* **Deploy Agents with $HUB** to gain additional mining multipliers
Each $HUB interaction **increases output**, making it both a governance token and a mining resource.
***
### π°οΈ Mining Seasons & Halving: Reward Scarcity with Purpose
To create long-term sustainability and emulate real mining dynamics, $HUBβs simulated hashrate system is built on a **seasonal halving model**. This system ensures that early miners are rewarded more heavily while maintaining value and scarcity as the network matures.
***
### π
What Are Mining Seasons?
Each **season** represents a fixed epoch of timeβ**30 days**βduring which a predetermined amount of $HUB is distributed to all wallets participating in the hashrate pool.
* Each wallet earns rewards **proportionally** to their simulated hashrate.
* At the end of each season, rewards reset and the next emission phase begins.
***
### βοΈ Reward Halving Structure
To replicate scarcity and reward early adoption, mining rewards **decrease over time** based on a **progressive halving schedule**.
Total capped emission via mining: **400,000,000 $HUB** (40% of supply)
***
### π§ Why Simulated Hashrate?
* **Sustainable & deflationary** β no idle emissions or passive inflation
* **On-chain & transparent** β all boosts and hashrate changes are verifiable
* **Expandable** β future events, agent battles, or leaderboard bonuses are built into the system logic
