The GamerHash platform consists of its application, the web platform and the mobile app. Its main purpose is to reward users for sharing excess computing power since playing resource-intensive games requires 100% of the computing power, but on average, only 15% is used. Users can share their excess computing power by downloading the application and running it in the background. They receive between 93% and 100% of the mining rewards, with more funds being paid out the more the app is used.

GamerHash also released a new feature called Play&Earn, which is targeted towards low-end computers. Users can earn additional funds for completing specific tasks like downloading the mobile app, playing an MMO game, or other tasks provided by affiliate partners.

GamerHash uses a technology similar to a multi-currency mining pool implementation. It has created a distributed mining platform with a simple and user-friendly graphical user interface that can predict which cryptocurrency is most profitable to mine based on the pool’s hardware capabilities. The system is able to calculate which coin will maximize profits for each user and chooses accordingly. GamerHash also checks the pool status and the mining process by using a custom automated control and reporting system

The total supply of GHX is 880 million. 322 million GHX was released at the token sale. The token distribution is as follows:

36.6% - token sale

15% - team

14% - foundation

12% - ecosystem fund

9% - marketing and strategic partnerships

5% - community and game mining

4.4% - liquidity reserve

4% - advisors.

Users can receive GHX tokens either on secondary markets or from the network in two ways: either through sharing their idle computing power and mining cryptocurrencies, which is rewarded with an additional 20% bonus in GHX tokens for each daily withdrawal. The other option is to receive rewards by performing tasks from GamerHash’s affiliate partners. However, both options have a minimum time frame of 30 months. The monthly limit to earning GHX through mining is the equivalent of $10,000 USD, while the limit through Play&Earn rewards is $50,000.

For isolation and resource control, GamerHash uses the same technology that powers Docker engine, Linux namespaces and cgroups. Each component of the web application is contained in separate, isolated containers. The platform is secured by GreyWizard technology, giving it security from bots, brute force, and DDOS attacks. Databases are only accessed through a VPN, and Prometheus technology instantly measures critical points of infrastructure in real-time.

GHX is a ERC-20 token on Ethereum and a BEP-20 token on Binance Smart Chain.

ERC-20 is a token standard most new tokens follow when publishing on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is one of the most popular blockchains and the go-to solution for many decentralized applications. Its proof-of-work consensus mechanism requires miners to mine new Ether and ensures that Ethereum is one of the safest blockchains in the crypto industry. A set of decentralized nodes validates transactions and secures the Ethereum blockchain.
