hCASH is the native token of Club HashCash. It is earned entirely through gameplay — there is no pre-mine, no team allocation, and no investor distribution. Every hCASH in existence was minted as a block reward and claimed by an active miner. Understanding how supply, burns, and rate dynamics interact determines whether your mining operation runs at a profit or gets eroded by fees.Documentation Index

Supply snapshot
As of the latest protocol transparency report:| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total hCASH minted | 4,142,824.10 hCASH |
| Total hCASH burned | 4,722,187.50 hCASH |
| Net circulating supply | Negative (burned exceeds minted) |
Total hCASH burned (4,722,187.50) exceeds total hCASH ever minted (4,142,824.10). This is not a rounding error — it reflects hCASH that entered circulation via gameplay and was subsequently destroyed through in-game spending and fee mechanics. The protocol is currently deflationary.
How hCASH is earned
hCASH is distributed as block rewards on Avalanche. Each block emits a fixed amount, split proportionally across all active miners by hashrate share:How hCASH is spent
Buying miners
Buying miners
All miners in the in-game shop are priced in hCASH (or AVAX for select listings). Entry-tier rigs start at 100–750 hCASH, mid-tier rigs at 1,000–2,500 hCASH, and Pro/Elite hardware ranges from 3,500 to 25,000 hCASH. Purchasing burns or transfers hCASH out of your wallet.
Claiming rewards
Claiming rewards
Claiming your accumulated mining rewards requires an on-chain transaction. The fee scales with the current electricity rate state. During Normal rates, fees are minimized. During Surge, fees are at their maximum and can consume a significant portion of a small claim.
Secondary market trading
Secondary market trading
Miner NFTs can be listed and purchased on the secondary marketplace in hCASH or AVAX. Selling miners you no longer need returns hCASH (or AVAX) to your wallet; buying from other players routes hCASH through the marketplace.
Facility upgrades
Facility upgrades
Upgrading your facility tier to unlock higher power capacity requires hCASH. This is a capital allocation decision: spending hCASH now to enable more miners, which earn more hCASH over time.
Electricity rate system
Claim fees are dynamic, not fixed. Three rate states govern what you pay when you move rewards on-chain:Normal
Minimum fees. The optimal window to claim. Accumulate rewards and claim in this state whenever possible.
Elevated
Moderate fees. Acceptable for large accumulated balances where the fee is a small percentage of the claim.
Surge
Maximum fees. Claiming during Surge significantly reduces net rewards. Hold unless you have a specific reason to claim immediately.
Claim strategy in practice
The right claim behavior depends on your balance size and the current rate:- Small balance + Surge: Always hold. The fee percentage is highest on small claims.
- Large balance + Normal: Claim. Your accumulated rewards are substantial and fees are minimal.
- Large balance + Surge: Judgment call. If a halving is imminent, it may be worth claiming now to lock in pre-halving earnings before the emission rate drops.

Strategic implications of deflationary supply
The fact that burned hCASH already exceeds total minted supply has compounding effects on the game economy:- Scarcity pressure: A contracting supply, paired with consistent new player demand for hCASH (to buy miners and upgrades), applies upward price pressure over time.
- Miner payback accelerates in bull markets: If hCASH price rises while your miner’s hCASH output is fixed, your USD-denominated earnings increase without any gameplay change.
- Halvings amplify scarcity: Each halving cuts new emission by 50%, further slowing the rate at which new hCASH enters supply.
