BTCST serves as an asset protocol that enables Bitcoin hashrate assets to enter the DeFi ecosystem by leveraging Bitcoin mining power. It aims to solve the problem of limited exit options when taking part in Bitcoin mining and its limited liquidity. Essentially, BTCST functions as a token collateralized by standardized Bitcoin mining power that creates a market for current and prospective Bitcoin miners. At the time of BTCST conception, miners required expensive equipment and to commit to mining for long periods of time, or use brokers for accessing sales. As such, the project was launched to increase the number of opportunities participants can get involved in Bitcoin mining. It also aims to increase mining exposure for traders’ benefits.

BTCST launched on Binance Launchpool and has since grown to serve as an optimal hashrate token that has deep market liquidity, as well as a robust price premium.

What are Bitcoin Standard Hashrate Token’s key features and how does it work?

BTCST has a transparent system of governance and has also been audited by two of the most well-regarded blockchain security firms, these are CertiK and Armor Labs. In more detail, it is governed as a DAO. Those who hold BTCST are entitled to have a say on project issues, proposals, and votes. This includes all token holders, including mining members and those within the wider community.

To facilitate the exchange and trading of Bitcoin mining power, each BTCST is collateralized by 0.1 terahash per second of Bitcoin mining power. This means that it is collateralized by a standardized unit and essentially equivalent to owning the mining power itself. Users can stake BTCST and receive equivalent Bitcoin distributions in proportion to the amount of mining power staked.

BTCST efficiently connects traders with miners and allows them to enter the market with ease. Since traders can freely exchange the token and therefore enter and exit the Bitcoin mining ecosystem at any point.

What is noteworthy about Bitcoin Standard Hashrate Token?

An important part of the network’s development is the protocol’s upgrade that implements τ (tau). τ Protocol operates as a system to synthesize Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies. It deploys a synthetic mining process to ensure that synthetic assets are able to retain their peg to their non-synthetic counterparts. 

In short, τ Protocol synthesizes the mining process of such PoW currencies, rather than the cryptocurrency itself. τAssets are produced. This secures the value of the original PoW assets
