SatoshiFi

Decentralized PoW Mining Pool Management System
Technical Whitepaper v2.0 • August 2025

Table of Contents

Abstract
SatoshiFi is a decentralized solution for managing mining pools across all major PoW networks, built on Ethereum blockchain. The system addresses problems of traditional pools: lack of transparency in reward distribution, insecure distribution mechanisms, and miners' lack of access to financial markets. Key innovations include federated coinbase addresses controlled through FROST threshold signatures, two-level token architecture (mp-tokens → S-tokens), and independent custodian federation with economic incentives for innovation.

1. Introduction

1.1 Problem Statement

Traditional mining pools operate with centralized reward distribution systems that require miners to trust pool operators. Key problems include:

  • Lack of transparency: Pool operators control reward distribution without cryptographic guarantees
  • High withdrawal fees: Moving assets between pools or to external addresses is expensive
  • Limited DeFi access: Mining rewards are locked in specific networks without cross-chain functionality
  • Centralization risks: Single points of failure in pool management

1.2 Solution Overview

SatoshiFi solves these problems through federated coinbase addresses controlled by independent custodians using FROST threshold signatures. The system provides:

2. System Architecture

2.1 Multi-Layer Architecture

SatoshiFi System Architecture
Ethereum Smart Contracts mp-Token Contracts S-Token Contracts Staking Protocol Lending Protocol DEX Integration Independent Custodian Federation Custodian 1 Stake: 6.25 BTC Rate: 0.8% Custodian 2 Stake: 12.5 BTC Rate: 0.9% Custodian 3 Stake: 3.125 BTC Rate: 0.7% ... Custodian 7 Stake: 6.25 BTC Rate: 0.85% 5-of-7 FROST Threshold Signatures PoW Network Layer Bitcoin Fed Address (Coinbase) Dogecoin Fed Address (Coinbase) Bitcoin Cash Fed Address (Coinbase) Litecoin Fed Address (Coinbase)

2.2 Key Components

Federated Coinbase Addresses: Mining pool rewards go directly to TSS-controlled addresses, providing automatic collateralization for issued tokens.

Independent Custodians: Professional operators who stake collateral and run client software to participate in the federation. They compete on rates and service quality.

Two-Level Tokens: mp-tokens are pool-specific vouchers, while S-tokens are fungible wrapped tokens accepted by all DeFi protocols.

3. FROST Protocol Implementation

3.1 Cryptographic Foundation

SatoshiFi uses FROST (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold) protocol with direct Ethereum integration through the frost-secp256k1-evm library.

FROST Advantages
Gas Efficiency: ~4200 gas per verification vs traditional multisig
Scalability: O(1) verification regardless of participant count
Privacy: Individual participants remain anonymous
Compatibility: Works with all supported PoW networks

3.2 Trust Assumptions

  • Honest Majority: More than 50% of TSS operators act honestly
  • Network Synchrony: Synchronous network model for critical operations
  • Cryptographic Security: Discrete logarithm in secp256k1 is hard
  • Liveness: Threshold number of operators available for signing

3.3 On-Chain Verification Process

// Ethereum smart contract verification function verifyPoolOperation( uint256 newNonce, bytes32 operationHash, uint256 signatureCommitmentX, uint256 signatureCommitmentY, uint256 signatureZ ) public { // Create message for signing bytes32 messageHash = keccak256(abi.encodePacked( block.chainid, address(this), nonce, newNonce, operationHash )); // Increment nonce nonce++; // Verify FROST signature require( FROST.verifySignature( poolPublicKeyX, poolPublicKeyY, signatureCommitmentX, signatureCommitmentY, signatureZ, messageHash ), "Invalid FROST signature" ); // Execute operation executePoolOperation(operationHash); }

3.4 Heartbeat Mechanism

Every configurable block interval, TSS groups must provide proof-of-liveness signatures to demonstrate continued operation and prevent fund lockup.

4. Two-Level Token Architecture

4.1 Level 1: mp-tokens (Pool-Specific Vouchers)

Mining pool tokens represent withdrawal vouchers from specific pools:

  • Pool-specific: mpBTC from Pool A ≠ mpBTC from Pool B
  • Limited functionality: Only redeemable through originating pool
  • No DeFi access: Not accepted by financial services without custody
  • Automatic issuance: Minted when pool finds blocks

4.2 Level 2: S-tokens (Custodial Wrapped Tokens)

Standardized wrapped tokens with full DeFi functionality:

  • Fungible: SBTC from any source is identical
  • DeFi compatible: Works with all Ethereum protocols
  • Cross-chain utility: Bridge between all supported networks
  • Flexible redemption: Through any qualified custodian

mp-Token Flow: Pool Finds Block Reward Collection mp-Token Mint Pool Queue mp-Token Burn + Queue Miner Withdrawal S-Token Flow: mp-Token Deposit Custodian Verification S-Token Mint DeFi Integration Full Access S-Token Usage

4.3 Custody Transformation Process

  1. Deposit: User sends mp-tokens to custodial contract
  2. Verification: SPV proof validates backing in source network
  3. Mint: S-tokens issued 1:1 with mp-tokens
  4. Access: Full DeFi functionality becomes available

5. Federated Address System

5.1 Coinbase Address Control

The core innovation is using mining pool coinbase addresses as federated multi-signature addresses controlled through FROST threshold signatures.

Security Properties
Threshold Security: Requires 5 of 7 operators to sign any transaction
Fault Tolerance: System continues operating with up to 2 operator failures
No Single Point of Failure: No individual can compromise the system

5.2 Automatic Collateralization

Block rewards automatically flow to federated addresses, providing instant collateralization for mp-token issuance.

Automatic Collateralization Flow
Block Found → Reward Collection → Collateral Update → mp-Token Mint Mining Pool Finds Block 3.125 BTC Reward Fed Address Receives 3.125 BTC Automatically Ethereum Smart Contract Update State Fee Distribution Pool Fee (2%): 0.0625 BTC Protocol (0.5%): 0.015625 BTC TSS (0.75%): 0.0234375 BTC Available for Mint: 3.03125 BTC Available for Mint 3.03125 mpBTC

5.3 Multi-Network Support

Each supported PoW network has its own federated address configuration:

  • Bitcoin: Taproot-compatible addresses with FROST signatures
  • Dogecoin: ECDSA adaptation with secp256k1 conversion
  • Bitcoin Cash: Schnorr support with ECDSA fallback
  • Litecoin: MWEB compatibility plus legacy support

6. Independent Custodian System

9.3.2 Job Distribution and Work Assignment

The job distribution system ensures optimal work assignment across all connected workers:

// Intelligent job distribution system function distributeWork() internal { // Get current block template from Bitcoin Core BlockTemplate memory template = getBlockTemplate(); // Generate work packages for different difficulty levels for (uint256 tier = 0; tier < workerTiers.length; tier++) { WorkPackage memory package = generateWorkPackage( template, workerTiers[tier].difficulty, workerTiers[tier].extraNonce ); // Distribute to workers in this tier address[] memory tierWorkers = getWorkersByTier(tier); for (uint256 i = 0; i < tierWorkers.length; i++) { sendJobToWorker(tierWorkers[i], package); } } emit WorkDistributed(template.height, block.timestamp); }

9.4 Share Collection and Validation

9.4.1 Real-Time Share Processing

SatoshiFi implements high-performance share validation with cryptographic verification:

// High-performance share validation function validateShare( bytes32 workerId, bytes32 jobId, uint256 nonce, uint256 timestamp, bytes32 extraNonce2, bytes32 nTime, bytes32 nVersionBits ) external returns (bool valid) { // Retrieve job template JobTemplate memory job = activeJobs[jobId]; require(job.active, "Invalid job ID"); // Reconstruct block header bytes memory header = constructBlockHeader( job, nonce, extraNonce2, nTime, nVersionBits ); // Validate proof of work bytes32 hash = sha256(sha256(header)); uint256 target = job.difficulty; valid = uint256(hash) <= target; if (valid) { // Record valid share recordValidShare(workerId, jobId, hash, target); // Check if block solution if (uint256(hash) <= networkTarget) { handleBlockSolution(workerId, jobId, header); } } else { // Record invalid share for analysis recordInvalidShare(workerId, jobId, hash, target); } return valid; }

9.4.2 Share Accounting and Statistics
