SqueekFiLink to this section

TL;DRLink to this section

SqueekFi is Squeekchain's ecosystem for hamster-powered onchain finance.
Its building blocks are the hamster's public work record on Ethereum and SQK, the token that work issues.
Builders can read the work record, SQK, and Miner data from their own contracts and applications.
Anyone can build without permission; this page lists the kinds of projects the system can support.

What is SqueekFi?Link to this section

SqueekFi connects Squeekchain's mining economy with projects that use smart contracts for finance. Its projects build on two public building blocks: the settled work record in SqueekCore, and SQK, the token that mining distributes.

What makes it hamster-powered?Link to this section

The WHEELY9000 records accepted wheel activity. That work is checked and settled on Ethereum, where it completes Squeek blocks. A SqueekFi project that reads this record, or uses SQK, moves with the hamster's actual work.

Funding SqueekFi projectsLink to this section

Miner owners can direct a share of their Miner's rewards to fund SqueekFi projects.

Projects the system can supportLink to this section

SqueekCore exposes certified rounds, cumulative physical work, earned block units, and completed Squeek blocks. SqueekMining, SqueekToken, and the Miner NFT expose rewards, SQK, and ownership. Any contract or application can read these records without permission.

The projects below are possibilities, not existing projects or built-in features.

Prediction markets: Markets on the hamster's output, such as whether the wheel reaches a Squeek-block milestone by a deadline, or how much work a given period settles. Resolve only on settled work, not live readings.
Games and dynamic NFTs: A collectible that levels up or changes its appearance as completed Squeek blocks accumulate.
Work-milestone funding: An escrow could hold contributed SQK or other tokens, then release a tranche when the work record reaches an agreed Squeek-block milestone.
Dashboards and analytics: Work-history dashboards, block-milestone timelines, or settlement-lag views built from the public work record.
Alerts and automation: A bot could send notifications or trigger its own contracts whenever a block completes. Because anyone can run a mining checkpoint, a keeper could also process settled rounds into rewards.
AI agents and autonomous strategies: An agent could use settled work as a signal it can verify onchain, then act from its own wallet: take positions in a prediction market, trigger its own contracts at a block milestone, or pay for services in SQK. It should act only on settled work, since a live wheel reading is not yet settled.
Payments, tips, and bounties in SQK: SQK is a standard ERC-20 token, so any contract that accepts ERC-20 tokens can hold, escrow, or pay it.
Trading venues and liquidity for SQK: Any exchange can list SQK, and anyone can open a pool for it against another asset.
Liquidity pools and liquidity mining: A project could run pools for SQK or its own token and pay an incentive token to the people who supply liquidity, using any exchange and any reward token.
Work-linked tokens: A project could issue its own token on a schedule that follows Squeek-block milestones, so its supply moves with the hamster's settled work.
Token distribution to Miners: A project could distribute its own token to Miner owners, for example in proportion to each Miner's mining power, or to everyone who holds a Miner at a chosen time. Miner ownership and power are public, so the project needs no permission from Squeekchain.
Miner portfolio and wallet tools: Show a Miner's level, active power, and unclaimed SQK, and prepare claims for its owner.
Miner marketplaces and valuation tools: A Miner's unclaimed rewards, level, scheduled power change, and merge cooldown transfer with the NFT, so a marketplace can show a buyer exactly what they would receive.
Pooled Miners: A contract could hold Miners and issue shares in them. Claims go to a Miner's owner and unclaimed rewards travel with the NFT, so a design has to account for who owns each Miner and how its rewards are claimed and divided.
Holder experiences: An app or community could unlock features for Miner owners by checking who holds a Miner.

Before you buildLink to this section

Your contracts hold their own funds and act on what they read; SqueekCore supplies the record, and progress follows settled work. A live wheel reading runs ahead of settled work, so How work reaches Ethereum explains which stage to rely on. Start with Read contracts and the SqueekCore reference for the interfaces and integration checks.

Choose whether your rule measures physical work or earned Squeek blocks: adaptive difficulty changes the relationship between them. For a round-based deadline, use that round's certified endpoint rather than the transaction's arrival time. Your application must handle delayed certification, pauses, and several block milestones completing in one transaction; SqueekCore does not call your contract when they happen.

Applies SqueekCore or SqueekMining upgrades authorized by its governing Timelock. Generates Squeek images and metadata from fixed onchain visual data. Records physical work and earned block units on Ethereum, with difficulty adapting after active rounds. Calculates rewards from settled work, holds funded SQK, and pays eligible NFT owners. The Squeeks ERC-721 contract. Tracks NFT ownership and coordinates minting and merges with SqueekMining. The SQK ERC-20 contract. Enforces the lifetime supply cap; only SqueekMining can mint SQK. Queues governance operations and enforces a delay before they can be executed. Checks that visual data conforms to the required DotGrid format. When new mining power starts earning. Minting and merging schedule it for the next round, and a checkpoint applies it. A reward update that processes settled Squeek blocks, issues their SQK, and applies scheduled mining-power changes. The Miner NFT permanently burned in a merge. Its unclaimed rewards move to the survivor, but its image is not combined or kept. SQK issued as settled Squeek blocks are processed: 5,600 SQK for each completed block, up to the lifetime cap. Squeekchain's record of accepted wheel-magnet passages. Combining two eligible same-level Miners you own into one higher-level Miner. One NFT is burned; the survivor keeps both Miners' unclaimed rewards. The completed Squeek blocks a Miner waits through before it can merge again. It follows the Miner through transfers. What a Miner holds in the mining pool. Each Squeek block's SQK is divided across all active mining power in proportion. A ten-minute period used to group measured work. The device saves a completed round's work total when measurement remained uninterrupted. The token that completed Squeek blocks issue to mining power. It has a lifetime supply cap. One billion block units earned from settled work at each round's difficulty. Completed blocks supply SQK under the mining reward rules. An NFT that holds mining power. Its power earns a share of the SQK in each completed Squeek block. Squeekchain's ecosystem for hamster-powered onchain finance, built on the public work record. The Miner NFT you keep in a merge. It gains a level, keeps its ID and image, and receives both Miners' unclaimed rewards. A Miner's recorded reward balance that hasn't been paid to a wallet. It stays with the NFT when ownership changes. The hamster mining device. It records accepted wheel-magnet passages as work. One wheel-magnet passage that met the device's counting rules.
