Squeekchain

Squeekchain is a hamster-powered proof-of-work toychain on Ethereum.

Squeektoshi operates the WHEELY9000 on livestream. A hamster-powered mining device, the WHEELY9000 records wheel activity, verifies it, and sends it to Ethereum, where it settles and produces Squeek blocks.

Each completed block issues SQK, which is divided across the active power of Squeeks.

Squeekchain is permissionless. Anyone can build on top of Squeektoshi's work, including prediction markets, games, dynamic NFTs, SqueekFi and more.

Explore the project

• Newcomers Follow the wheel, see how Squeek blocks form, and explore the public data with no wallet or NFT.

• Squeeks See how power, merging, and rewards fit together, and what owning a Squeek lets you do.

• SQK holders See how every completed block issues the same 5,600 SQK until a fixed 2.1 billion cap.

• Developers The contracts are live on the Sepolia testnet: read them, simulate owner transactions and index events, or read the API.

• SqueekFi builders Build onchain finance on the public work record, from prediction markets to games and dynamic NFTs.

• Security reviewers See what the records prove, who has control, and how failures are handled.

How the wheel connects to rewards

Settled work completes Squeek blocks, and a later checkpoint turns each block's SQK into rewards that Squeek owners claim to a wallet. How it works follows the steps from a sensor reading to a claim.

Following the work

Work moves through stages: recorded on the device, verified, settled on Ethereum, and then processed for rewards. Each public view shows one stage, so a live wheel reading leads the settled total by the work still in transit. How work reaches Ethereum describes each stage.

The sensor records accepted magnet passages, and video is a separate way to watch the device. What the system proves explains what a work record establishes.

  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 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 power changes.

  The Squeek 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 Squeeks you own into one higher-level Squeek. One NFT is burned; the survivor keeps both Squeeks' unclaimed rewards.

  The completed Squeek blocks a Squeek waits through before it can merge again. It follows the Squeek through transfers.

  What a Squeek earns with. Its level sets its maximum power; each Squeek block's SQK is divided across all active 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 each completed Squeek block issues, shared by active power. It has a lifetime supply cap.

  An NFT that owns a share of the Squeekchain network. It receives SQK from the hamster's work according to its active power, set by its level and the SQK staked to it.

  One billion block units earned from settled work at each round's difficulty. Completed blocks supply SQK under the mining reward rules.

  Squeekchain's ecosystem for hamster-powered onchain finance, built on the public work record.

  The Squeek you keep in a merge. It gains a level, keeps its ID and image, and receives both Squeeks' unclaimed rewards.

  A Squeek's recorded reward balance that hasn't been paid to a wallet. It stays with the Squeek 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.
