HASHPOWER PROVIDERS
Proof-of-Work becomes one of the compute resources available through Kronex.
Hashpower is measured as delivered computation rather than simply advertised capacity.
01 · WHAT THIS PROVIDER DOES
What this provider does
Provides Proof-of-Work computation.
A provider contributes computational work and Kronex settles against the portion of it that is accepted.

02 · WHAT ORDERS IT RECEIVES
What orders it receives
Possible markets include
- SHA256
- Scrypt
- kHeavyHash
- Blake3
- RandomX
- Etchash
- other supported algorithms
Users can purchase computational work and route it toward compatible external networks.
03 · REQUIREMENTSSpecification pending
Requirements
Indicative until specified. These are the categories a hashpower provider is expected to satisfy, not the values it must meet.
- Algorithm
- Which algorithms a provider can deliver work for.
- Delivered rate
- Work the network accepts, not capacity a provider states.
- Routing
- Which external destinations a provider can direct work toward.
- Collateral
- What is staked against the delivery a provider accepts.
Requirements will be published with the provider framework.
04 · HOW IT IS PAIDSpecification pending
How it is paid
A provider is paid for the computational work the network accepts, settled against delivered computation rather than stated capacity. The protocol's fee sources do not name a hashpower fee, so this page does not name one either.
05 · HOW IT IS MEASURED
How it is measured
Hashpower is measured as delivered computation rather than simply advertised capacity.
- accepted work
- uptime
- response time
- dispute history
- collateral
Applications can automatically choose providers according to their own requirements.
06 · RISKS AND OBLIGATIONSSpecification pending
Risks and obligations
A provider commits hardware and collateral against work it has agreed to deliver, and is paid only for the work the network accepts. Capacity a provider states but does not deliver settles nothing. A provider that fails to deliver is exposed to economic penalties where appropriate.
The penalty mechanism is not designed.
- hardware committed
- collateral at stake
- stated capacity settles nothing
