Squeekchain 101
How Squeekchain records hamster proof of work and settles its measurement records on Ethereum.
TL;DR
- The WHEELY9000 records accepted wheel-magnet passages as work.
- Saved work is verified and settled on Ethereum, where it completes Squeek blocks.
- Live activity, pending work, and settled work are successive stages, and each public view reports one of them.
Following the work
The WHEELY9000 has a wheel-mounted magnet and a sensor that detects its passages. Accepted passages are saved as work, grouped into rounds, and sent for verification before settlement records them on Ethereum. Cameras show the device through a separate video path.
The Pi saves measurements, the Oracle verifies them, and Core (SqueekCore) records authorized work and completed Squeek blocks on Ethereum. Mining issues $SQK for those blocks and funds Staking, which streams it to stakers by power.
Why views show different totals
A wheel reading appears while its round is open. Chain views include that round after verification, settlement, and confirmations. How work reaches Ethereum walks through each stage.
Measurement and settlement don't depend on the indexer, the service that prepares chain data for display. When it falls behind, public views show their last confirmed data until it catches up.

| Question | Source |
|---|---|
| What did the device count? | Saved Pi records for the named installation and counter history |
| What did the Oracle verify? | Accepted measurement records and completed rounds |
| What can settle next? | Approved rounds in the settlement queue |
| What did Core execute? | Chain events and confirmed data from the intended deployment |
| What was activity over a week? | Round totals, with gaps in coverage shown |
| How much $SQK reached Staking? | Checkpoint funding recorded by Mining and received by Staking |
| What can a staker claim? | Their claimable rewards in Staking |
