What is SOAP?

Understanding the Subsidized Open-market Acquisition Protocol

SOAP Overview

SOAP (Subsidized Open-market Acquisition Protocol) transforms traditional merge-mining into a protocol subsidy mechanism. Instead of miners receiving rewards from multiple chains directly (creating selling pressure), SOAP routes parent chain rewards to protocol-controlled addresses that automatically buy QUAI tokens.

The purchased QUAI is then either burned to reduce supply or distributed to time-locked stakers, creating continuous buy pressure while rewarding long-term network participants.

How SOAP Works

1

Multi-Chain Mining

Miners with SHA256d (BCH), Scrypt (LTC/DOGE), or KAWPOW hardware can mine QUAI while their parent chain rewards are automatically routed to protocol-controlled addresses.

2

Automatic QUAI Buybacks

Parent chain rewards (BCH, LTC, DOGE) are automatically converted to QUAI at market rates, creating continuous buy pressure instead of selling pressure.

3

Burn & Reward Distribution

Purchased QUAI is either burned to reduce supply or distributed to time-locked stakers, creating sustainable yield without token inflation.

4

Enhanced Security

Workshares from different algorithms contribute to block weight and economic finality, making reorg attacks more expensive while diversifying the security model.

Key Benefits

🔥 Deflationary Mechanism

Parent chain subsidies fund QUAI burns, reducing total supply while external miners provide security without requiring QUAI emission increases.

💰 Sustainable Rewards

Staking rewards come from external protocol subsidies rather than inflation, creating sustainable yield backed by real economic activity.

🛡️ Enhanced Security

Multi-algorithm workshares increase block weight and reorg costs while diversifying security across different hardware supply chains.

📊 Inverted Economics

Unlike traditional merge-mining that creates selling pressure, SOAP converts external mining into permanent buy pressure and protocol support.
