A Global Market for Compute, Storage & Staking Infrastructure
BHKR is a decentralized PoS-based infrastructure connecting requesters and providers through a peer-to-peer mesh network, enabling transparent rewards, efficient node hosting, and trust-minimized staking participation.
Core Value Proposition
Decentralized, transparent, and efficient PoS infrastructure that reduces reliance on centralized cloud / staking providers while improving market competitiveness and user accessibility.
Concept Flow
Requester ⇄ Marketplace ⇄ Provider ⇄ Node / Sidecar ⇄ Blockchain
Overview
BHKR introduces a decentralized infrastructure for PoS node hosting and computational resources, designed to connect resource providers and requesters in a transparent and competitive marketplace.
Abstract Summary
BHKR combines computational power, storage and bandwidth in a peer-to-peer network and enables direct payment in BHKR tokens on Ethereum between requesters and providers. The MVP focuses on Ethereum 2.0 staking-related infrastructure and aims to expand to other blockchain platforms and conventional systems.
Why It Matters
Today, many infrastructure services are offered by centralized cloud or closed networks. BHKR proposes an alternative that improves transparency of reward collection/distribution and lowers barriers for users who want to participate in staking without building or maintaining their own infrastructure.
What BHKR Infrastructure Solves
The whitepaper highlights multiple limitations in existing centralized or partially trusted staking platforms and infrastructure services.
Single Point of Failure
Centralized systems create trust and custody risks, including potential fund loss and service disruption.
Low Transparency
Reward collection and distribution parameters are often opaque and hard to verify publicly.
Cost Inefficiency
Central server costs may increase fees and reduce market competition.
Idle Resources Wasted
Unused CPU/GPU/storage capacity can be monetized instead of remaining idle.
Barrier to Staking
Users with tokens may lack the technical ability or infrastructure to stake effectively.
Micro-Investor Access
Micropool validator concepts can connect smaller investors who hold less than validator minimums.
Architecture & Roles
BHKR defines a set of on-chain/off-chain participants and mechanisms, including providers, requesters, sidecars, governance, and smart-contract-managed pools.
Key Entities
BHKR Node
An OS/docker environment running a BHKR sidecar and a blockchain node (VM/EVM). Providers may operate multiple nodes.
BHKR Sidecar
Software managing node availability/capacity/security, auditing uptime of other nodes, and reporting to smart contracts.
Requesters
Users who request node creation or infrastructure services (e.g., Ethereum staking-related nodes).
Providers
Independent entities supplying compute/storage/network capacity and operating BHKR nodes.
Governance
Policy, provider qualification, statistics, reputation logic, and dispute management through transparent voting mechanisms.
Governance Evolution
- Initialization Phase: invited governors stake BHKR to participate and retain membership.
- Transition Phase: candidate governors apply and are elected according to staking/votes.
- Automated Phase: governance membership is periodically updated by established rules.
- Penalty: non-participation (e.g., repeated missed voting) may lead to slashing.
Dynamic Reputation / Credit
Reputation scoring considers staked amount, bid price, node runtime, and uptime percentage. Sidecars randomly audit other nodes over time to strengthen reliability and credit checking.
BHKR Token Utility
The platform assigns operational, economic, and governance utility to the BHKR token within the infrastructure.
Primary Utilities
- Platform payments are performed in BHKR tokens.
- Requesters use BHKR to initiate processes and pay service fees.
- Providers stake BHKR as collateral to become qualified providers.
- Governors maintain minimum staked BHKR to retain membership.
- Sidecar stakers can earn rewards and participate in voting-related incentives.
Collateral & Reliability Design
The whitepaper also discusses ETH-based collateral logic to handle penalties and loss compensation more robustly, especially under price volatility scenarios, alongside BHKR token staking utility.
Economics, Pools & Profit Distribution
BHKR defines Reward Pool and Insurance Pool mechanisms, provider bidding, project pricing, and distribution rules for requesters, providers, governors, and BHKR stakers.
Reward Pool Allocation (Example Policy)
The whitepaper describes periodic reward distribution from the Reward Pool across multiple participant groups, with portions also reserved for development/marketing.
Note: Governance-adjustable parameters may vary according to policy updates.
Simple Profit Distribution Example
The whitepaper presents a sample two-month project (pricing, provider bids, and resulting profit allocation between provider, Reward Pool, Insurance Pool, and requester).
RPprofit = (X + FP) × 10%
IPprofit = (X + FP) × 10%
Requester Return = X + FP − Pprofit − RPprofit − IPprofit
- Provider receives its winning bid/service fee.
- Reward Pool and Insurance Pool receive policy-defined shares.
- Remaining value returns to requester (subject to the model rules).
- Additional Reward Pool distributions may apply based on BHKR staking.
For Requesters
Access staking infrastructure without building machines, plus potential staking rewards and time savings.
For Providers
Monetize spare capacity and receive payments for services while participating in a decentralized marketplace.
For Governance / Community
Transparent rule enforcement, platform maintenance incentives, and staking-related reward participation.
Main Functionalities (Whitepaper-Aligned)
The platform flow includes provider registration/qualification, requester project submission, pricing, bidding, assignment, node operation, monitoring, and profit settlement.
Operational Flow
- Initialization: governance publishes provider qualification policy.
- Providers and requesters register through the platform interface.
- Providers apply for qualification and stake required collateral.
- Requester submits project proposal and receives pricing / provider info.
- Platform runs auction and governance-based selection logic.
- Provider executes node/service; sidecars monitor status and uptime.
- At completion, profit is deposited and distributed via smart contracts.
Penalty & Risk Controls
- Provider failure triggers compensation logic via collateral and governance policy.
- Failure history is recorded transparently to affect provider score.
- Low reputation may lead to temporary disqualification.
- Insurance Pool helps absorb network-level staking losses under defined conditions.
- Requester withdrawals may be restricted after project start until completion.
