What we do
Helping miners to realize future revenues
Our platform allows miners access to future revenues today. It provides operators with a tool to de-risk operations and receive liquidity upfront – all based on existing hashrate. Our aim is to build a new, transparent, and accessible capital market with Bitcoin at its core.
Based on hashrate revenue
The Block Green protocol calculates and provides a BTC-denominated value based on the existing hashrate each miner allocates to the protocol.
Attractive cost of capital
We provide access to substantial pools of passive Bitcoins, creating a mutually beneficial scenario by offering a native BTC yield while concurrently reducing the capital costs for miners.
Hedge and unlock liquidity
Our product eliminates the conversion volatility risk of traditional fiat liquidity with end-to-end Bitcoin denomination.
Trusted & transparent
Our protocol caters exclusively to accredited and AML-vetted institutional liquidity providers through direct access or integration with Bitcoin Prime Brokerages.
How it works
Using the Miner Rewards Model to project the value of hashrate
We model the spot value of the hashrate provided by the miner. The Cost of Capital for the miner is determined by the implied discount rate when computing the Present Value.
This discount rate is influenced by demand/supply factors within the protocol, as well as the miner's risk rating.
Funding flow
The funding flow from investors works as follows:
KYM
Miners onboard by submitting the required information for KYM. This includes financials, operational data, energy sourcing details, and their overall strategy.
Hashrate valuation
Based on the KYM information, we model the future value of the hashrate, estimating the opportunity's size, duration, and discount rate.
Opportunity creation
Upon approval of the terms, the Block Green protocol generates the opportunity and the corresponding Opportunity Vault on the platform.
Available liquidity
Once the Opportunity Vault is funded, the miner must post on-chain collateral to the Collateral Wallet.
Hashpower redirection
The liquidity transfer is triggered when the protocol receives confirmation that the hashrate has been redirected to the dedicated Rewards vault.
Architecture flow
Reward Redemption flow:
Launch
The entire amount of liquidity is released once the miner's hashrate has been redirected to the Rewards Vault and the security has been deposited into the collateral vault.
Monitoring
The protocol actively monitors the hashrate provision throughout the length of the agreement, programmatically matching the hashrate and reward flow with the linked pool parameters.
Collateral adjustments
In the case of deviations from the agreed-upon hashrate, the protocol automatically balances the amount by using BTC payments/deductions against the on-chain collateral.
Closing agreement
Upon completion of the agreement, the pool is liquidated, and any remaining collateral is returned.
