Segments S23 / An ownership alternative
Own your hashrate. Hold S23.
Hold S23 to own Bitcoin hashrate. Stake to activate mining and retain your token while you hold it. Your ownership is represented by a token, with deployment managed in the staking app.
A token you keep while you mine
A fixed-term mining contract gives access to a service for an agreed period. As that period passes, the remaining term reduces. S23 takes a different approach: you retain the token representing hashrate ownership while mining is active.
Holding, staking and selling are separate steps. Holding means retaining the token. Staking activates deployment through the current program. To sell a staked position's tokens, first follow the app's unstaking and withdrawal conditions, then use an available market or purchase venue as applicable.
The retained token is not a guarantee of resale value, immediate liquidity or uninterrupted service. It also should not be treated as title to a specific mining machine. The whitepaper discusses a proposed broader service model; use current app conditions for the live beta.

The published S23 pool is 1 PH/s, or 1,000 TH/s. The deployment page reads the active staking program and calculates each token's proportional share. Capacity participation compares active S23 with the pool's 1,000 capacity units at a 1 TH/s baseline. It is different from the percentage of minted tokens that are staked.
With 500 active S23 sharing a published 1,000 TH/s pool, the calculated allocation is 2 TH/s per token. At a $27 acquisition reference, the effective cost is $13.50 per allocated TH/s: $27 × 50%. This is an illustration, not a live stake count or a token resale quote.
Lower participation increases the calculated share per active token. Additional stakes increase the denominator; pool capacity can also change. The live deployment calculator includes the effect of a new stake and distinguishes calculated allocation from measured work and actual payouts.
Compare what the arrangement gives you
| Question | Fixed-term contract | S23 |
|---|---|---|
| What do I hold? | The contractual service rights described in the agreement. | A token representing hashrate ownership while held. |
| How does mining start? | Under the provider's activation and delivery rules. | Stake and configure a supported pool in the app. |
| What changes over time? | The remaining term and any variable charges or output. | Active participation, allocation, costs, output and token value can change. |
| How do I exit? | Expiry, cancellation or transfer under the contract. | Follow unstaking and withdrawal conditions, then retain or sell the token. |

From ownership to deployment
- Hold S23: acquire the correct token and confirm it is in your Solana wallet.
- Review deployment: use current participation and your acquisition cost to model the position.
- Activate: open the staking app, configure your supported pool and review the position conditions.
- Verify: follow allocation status in the app and accepted work and payouts at your pool.
Token transfer fees, network fees, purchase charges, pool fees and operating costs are distinct. Check the current token fee on the deployment page and the actual quote before confirming. A zero token transfer fee does not establish zero total mining costs.
