Proof of Work · Machine-Native Money

THE AGENT
ECONOMY
IS HERE.

L1 proof-of-work is the security foundation. The L2 GPU market is the growth engine: private model inference paid by autonomous agents in SatK, without asking a platform for permission.

01 / CHOOSE YOUR LAYER

Everyone has a place
in the machine economy.

Secure consensus, provide intelligence, or consume it. Bitcoin K is designed as a circular economy where each role creates value for the other two.

LIVE · L1

Secure

Run kHeavyHash hardware and turn energy into an independently verifiable ledger.

  • BlockDAG consensus
  • One-second target cadence
  • Mining and Combo rewards
ENTER THE MINING POOL →
PLANNED · L2

Serve

Load open models onto GPUs, answer encrypted inference jobs, and compete on price and quality.

  • Proof of useful service
  • Provider-set pricing
  • SatK settlement
PREPARE A GPU NODE →
PLANNED · AGENTS

Use

Give software a policy-bound wallet so it can purchase intelligence within strict budgets.

  • No subscription required
  • Scoped spend permissions
  • Pay per successful request

02 / ONE ECONOMY, TWO COMPUTE LAYERS

From watts to intelligence.

ASIC work protects settlement. GPU work delivers useful inference. SatK closes the loop.

⚠The L1 ledger and mining pool are live on mainnet. Liquidity routing, HTTP 402 inference, GPU service proofs and delegated agent wallets are roadmap components, not currently available products.
03 / PARTICIPATE

Choose a role.
Start with what is live.

L1 mainnet is live. SOLO and PPLNS are operating; automatic PPLNS payouts are enabled. Use the complete mining access guide to select a mode and hashrate tier.

Mine with an ASIC

Use a Kaspa-compatible IceRiver or Antminer kHeavyHash machine. No firmware modification is required.

L2 · SPECIFICATION PHASE

Prepare a GPU node

Operators can prepare Linux, container runtime, a supported open model and benchmark evidence.

  • Provider registration is not open
  • No staking payment is being collected
  • Testnet software will precede mainnet jobs

CLIENT · SPECIFICATION PHASE

Build an agent

Design for HTTP 402 payment challenges and policy-bound spending, without surrendering wallet keys.

  • Per-call and daily budget caps
  • Model, latency and privacy preferences
  • DEX & wBTCK liquidity targeted for Q1 2027

04 / DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE & LIQUIDITY

Decentralized Liquidity.
Zero Platform Permission.

The Bitcoin K financial loop connects physical PoW miners with autonomous AI agents. Liquidity bridges and decentralized exchange pools provide continuous price discovery, automated market making (AMM) and non-custodial exchange for all participants.

Q1 2027 · STAGE 2

wBTCK Cross-Chain Bridge

Lock native BTCK on BlockDAG, mint canonical wBTCK on Base & Arbitrum. Zero centralized custodian.

  • 1:1 Cryptographic reserve verification
  • Direct Uniswap V3 concentrated liquidity
  • Deep automated market making (AMM)

Q1 2027 · NATIVE

Dual-Key Atomic Swaps

Peer-to-peer trustless swaps between BTCK and major cryptocurrencies powered by native stealth addresses.

  • Zero-knowledge orderbook matching
  • No KYC, non-custodial settlement
  • Cryptographic HTLC & adaptor signatures

L2 INTEGRATED

Agent Liquidity Engine

Automated micro-liquidity routing allowing AI agents to exchange SatK for real-time model inference seamlessly.

  • HTTP 402 instant micro-settlement
  • Algorithmic fee stabilization reserve
  • Autonomous agent budget execution

05 / PROTOCOL IN BRIEF

Scarcity with a deadline.

The complete 21 million BTCK subsidy schedule finishes in exactly 1,460 days. After issuance ends, miners and the permanent Combo reserve share transaction fees 50/50.

READ WHITEPAPER →VERIFY ON EXPLORER ↗
21,000,000 BTCK

Hard cap, represented as 2.1 quadrillion SatK.

1,460 DAYS

Exact integer emission quotas with zero rounding drift.

1 SECOND

Target block cadence with adaptive difficulty.

12-HOUR COMBO

Scheduled pooled reward draw under canonical rules.

80 / 15 / 5

Phase-one miner, Combo and ecosystem allocation.

50 / 50 FOREVER

Post-emission fee split: immediate miner and Combo.

06 / THE COST THESIS

Open bidding beats a permanent gatekeeper.

Centralized APIs set access, billing and regional policy. Bitcoin K's L2 target is different: independent GPU providers publish offers; clients route requests; settlement happens per job.

NO SUBSCRIPTIONAgents purchase only the inference they need.
OPEN SUPPLYIdle GPUs can compete instead of one platform setting every price.
LOCAL CHOICERoute by model, privacy, latency, reputation and price.
HARD LIMITSAgent wallets enforce per-call and per-period budgets.

KCU expresses useful-work value independently of a changing coin price: 1 KCU references $0.00010 of service value, then a disclosed BTC-K reference converts it to SatK. The bootstrap reference is fixed at $0.05/BTC-K and is not a live market quote. No invented discount is shown. The public beta will publish reproducible cost-per-token and quality comparisons.
