TechFlow News: On April 17, DMT-NAT—the native companion asset of Bitcoin (abbreviated as NAT)—has officially launched on Spider Pool, the world’s fifth-largest Bitcoin mining pool. Miners can now earn NAT rewards simultaneously within the same block they mine BTC, enabling dual rewards and ushering in a new era of two-tiered mining incentives.
Reportedly, NAT shares computing power, blocks, and addresses with BTC—requiring no additional actions from miners for synchronized production. This asset is minted every 10 minutes alongside Bitcoin blocks, with approximately 386 million NAT tokens produced per block (currently valued at ~$38 USD), corresponding to a total market cap of roughly $38 million. The issuance volume will gradually decrease as block height and network difficulty increase. The source code is fully open-source.
It is reported that NAT is progressively helping miners reduce mining costs. Once the per-block reward reaches $50,000 USD (a market cap of ~$50 billion), it will cover part of miners’ operational costs; at $500,000 USD per block, it would fully resolve Bitcoin’s security budget issue—establishing a virtuous cycle of “NAT appreciation → increased miner revenue → expanded hashrate → rising BTC price.”
Injecting fresh momentum into Bitcoin miners.
