TL;DRLink to this section

SqueekFi is Squeekchain's ecosystem for hamster-powered onchain finance.
Squeek Miner NFTs earn SQK linked to recorded wheel activity. Owners can direct a share of those rewards to fund SqueekFi projects.
Builders can use the public work record in their own contracts and applications.

What is SqueekFi?Link to this section

SqueekFi connects Squeekchain's mining economy with projects that use smart contracts for finance.

The connection to Squeekchain is the Squeek Miner NFT. A Miner earns SQK linked to the Hamster Miner's recorded work, and its owner can choose to fund SqueekFi projects with a share of those rewards.

Funding SqueekFi projectsLink to this section

Mining rewards are the SQK your Miner earns. Its active mining power determines its share of available rewards, and you claim those rewards to your wallet. The amount varies with completed work, the reward rules, and other Miners' active power; SQK and rewards explains that side of ownership.

You can also direct a share of your Miner's rewards to fund SqueekFi projects.

What makes it hamster-powered?Link to this section

The physical Hamster Miner records accepted wheel activity. That work is checked and recorded on Ethereum, then processed under the reward rules. Squeek Miner NFTs earn SQK linked to that work, and owners can choose to use a share of those rewards to fund SqueekFi projects.

“Hamster-powered” describes this connection between physical activity and onchain finance. The wheel doesn't power Ethereum, produce Ethereum blocks, or prove that a financial project is safe. The sensor records accepted magnet passages, not the identity or intent of the animal moving the wheel.

Taking partLink to this section

The Core contract exposes settled rounds, cumulative work, and completed Squeek blocks. Builders can read that record from their own contracts and applications without permission to submit settlements.

Examples you could build include:

Work-milestone funding. An escrow could hold contributed SQK or other tokens, then release a tranche when state().blockHeight reaches an agreed Squeek-block milestone.
Work-paced collectibles and games. A project could unlock a level or evolve its own NFT as completed Squeek blocks accumulate. state() provides current progress, while blockInfo() identifies the round in which a completed block was reached.
Work explorers and analytics. Use roundPage() with the RoundRecorded and BatchSettled events to build work-history dashboards, block-milestone timelines, or settlement-lag views.

These are applications you can build around the work record, not functions that Core performs for you. Your contracts handle any funds and execute their own actions; Core doesn't send payments or call a project when a milestone is reached. Progress follows settled work, not the live wheel.

Start with Read contracts and the Core reference for the interfaces and integration checks.

Records verified work and tracks settled rounds and Squeek blocks on Ethereum. Calculates rewards from settled work, holds funded SQK, and pays eligible NFT owners. The Miner ERC-721 contract. Tracks NFT ownership and coordinates minting and merges with Mining. Applies Core or Mining upgrades authorized by its governing Timelock. Generates Miner NFT artwork from fixed onchain visual data. Queues governance operations and enforces a delay before they can be executed. The SQK ERC-20 contract. Enforces the lifetime supply cap; only Mining can mint SQK. Checks that visual data conforms to the required DotGrid format. When new mining power starts earning. Minting and merging schedule it for a later round, and a checkpoint must process the change. A reward update that processes settled work and scheduled mining-power changes. It can make rewards available but doesn't pay them to an owner's wallet. 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 under the mining reward rules. You can direct a share of your Miner's rewards to fund SqueekFi projects. The physical mining device that records accepted wheel-magnet passages as work. It is separate from the virtual Miner NFTs. Squeekchain's record of accepted wheel-magnet passages. It doesn't prove animal identity and isn't how Ethereum reaches consensus. Combining two eligible same-level Miners you own into one higher-level Miner. One NFT is permanently burned; the survivor keeps both Miners' unclaimed rewards. The completed Squeek blocks a Miner must wait through before merging. It measures completed work, not elapsed time or Ethereum blocks; transfers don't reset it. The power used to calculate a Miner's share of rewards when eligible and active. A larger share of total power can mean a larger share of rewards. A ten-minute period used to group measured work. The device saves a completed round's work total when measurement remained uninterrupted. The transferable token used for mining rewards. It has a lifetime supply cap and is separate from the Miner NFT and the device's work count. A completed amount of settled work. Enough recorded work completes one Squeek block; it is not an Ethereum block. Squeek Miner NFTs earn SQK linked to recorded wheel activity. Owners can direct a share of those rewards to fund SqueekFi projects. Squeekchain's ecosystem for hamster-powered onchain finance. Miner owners can choose to fund projects with a share of their SQK rewards. 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. One wheel-magnet passage that met the device's counting rules and was saved. It records work, not an amount of SQK.
