F2Pool launches NAT same-block double rewards, BTC mining enters the "block co-mined coin" era
BlockBeats News, April 25 — The world’s second-largest mining pool, F2Pool, announced it will launch the NAT block distribution mechanism on April 27. Miners can earn NAT rewards simultaneously while mining BTC, and the dual-layer block reward model is officially expanding to leading mining pools.
NAT (DMT-NAT) is positioned as a native asset accompanying Bitcoin, sharing the same hash rate, blockchain, blocks, and addresses as BTC. It is produced every ten minutes per block, with approximately 386 million NAT generated per block, currently valued at about $100 per block, with a total market cap of around $100 million. NAT has become the token with the largest market value in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Previously, SpiderPool was the first to support this mechanism. With F2Pool’s integration, NAT is beginning to expand from a single mining pool to mainstream hash rate entry points, promoting a new revenue model of “mining BTC + earning companion tokens.”
Analyses suggest that if NAT’s value continues to rise, it could partially hedge against the decline in miner income after the halving and explore new solutions to the Bitcoin network’s “security budget” issue.
