Buy through the HETH pool
An ETH → HETH Buy pays the current adaptive swap fee. The fee is recorded as Work for the Miner in the current block.
Hooked Ethereum · How it works
Mine by buying.
Proof of Swap makes mining part of every ETH → HETH Buy through the HETH pool. There is no separate mining action and no HETH lock.
Share one block
Work accumulates for 414 seconds. When the block closes, the earned portion of its scheduled reward is divided in proportion to each Miner’s Work. Below the Work target, the unearned portion is never minted.
Claim without expiry
The Miner can claim later, or anyone can claim on the Miner’s behalf. Finalized HETH always goes to the Miner and never expires.
Six protocol rules
What must remain true
Every Buy mines
Every ETH → HETH Buy through the HETH pool records Work automatically for the Miner’s share of the block reward.
Immediate liquidity
Purchased HETH is liquid as soon as the Buy settles. There is no purchase custody or maturity delay.
Sells never mine
HETH → ETH sells remain immediate and pay the same adaptive swap fee, but do not earn mining rewards.
Fixed block clock
Work is grouped into fixed 414-second blocks. A reward finalizes only after its block closes.
Non-expiring claims
Anyone may claim finalized rewards for a Miner, but the HETH always goes to the Miner and never to the caller.
No privileged path
No owner, admin, founder allocation, treasury, rescue, arbitrary mint, upgrade, or starting-liquidity withdrawal path exists.
