Merged mining offers bitcoin miners an additional revenue stream at no additional cost by using the same mining infrastructure and work to secure the Rootstock sidechain.
Calculate your profits
Rootstock is the #1 Bitcoin Merged Mined platform in terms of rewards paid to miners.
Rewards are paid in Bitcoin and come from the transaction fees of the network. Miners earn ~80% of the fees for every competing block submitted to the network (yes, even uncles are rewarded!).
