Overview
Reactor is a Proof-of-Work token — a CPU-powered yield engine on Solana.
Minimum ENERGY to mine: 10,000 tokens.
$ENERGY is the access token: you must hold at least that amount to run work in the browser. Yield is paid from the reactor vault (SOL), funded from token fees. Each closed round allocates SOL to operators in proportion to verified hashrate contributed while that round was open.
Our hashing path is tuned for fair CPU reaction search — GPUs and ASICs are not the target. Anyone with a modern browser can fuel the reactor and earn.

The Meteora liquidity pool charges 6% fees on both buys and sells.
1.2% of that is the Meteora protocol fee (we don't receive it). 4.8% remains after protocol fees — that is the slice the Reactor fee logic uses.
Buys: 2.8% is refunded to your wallet right away (SOL usually lands within about a second; under heavier network load it can take a few seconds longer). After the refund, you are effectively taxed about 2%, which goes to the reactor vault.
Sells: how much you get back depends on holding time since you bought. Quick exits pay the full sell-side fee with no refund; longer holds unlock larger instant refunds. The portion that is not refunded stays in the reactor vault and is used for SOL mining rewards.
- Under 30 minutes: full 4.8% applies — no refund.
- 30 minutes to under 1 hour: 1% refunded instantly.
- 1 hour to under 24 hours: 2% refunded instantly.
- 24 hours or more: 3% refunded instantly.
In other words, short-term exits are taxed harder, and patient holders are rewarded with larger refunds, while the fees that remain after refunds keep the reactor vault funded for SOL mining rewards.
FIFO lots: holdings are matched first in, first out. Example: you bought 5M tokens 1.5 hours ago, then 3M tokens 15 minutes ago, and you sell everything. The 5M lot qualifies for the 2% refund tier; the 3M lot is under 30 minutes, so it gets no refund on that portion.
How It Works
The Reactor run process works as follows:
Connection
When you click "Start Reactor", a popup appears where you enter your Solana wallet address. Your browser then establishes a connection to our reactor pool.
Work Distribution
The pool sends you a task containing:
- A reaction header template
- The current difficulty target
- A nonce range to search
Run Loop
Your CPU iterates through nonce values, computing hashes. For each attempt:
- If the hash meets the difficulty target, a valid reaction solution can be submitted for verification
- Regardless of who finds the winning hash first, your contributed hashrate during the open round is recorded for your share
Reward distribution
When a distribution round closes, SOL in the reactor vault is split among contributors by work-weight (proportional to verified hashrate while that round was open). The SOL reward is sent automatically to your wallet.
How to Run (Step-by-Step)
Follow these steps to fuel the reactor and earn yield:
Click "Start Reactor"
On the homepage, click the cyan "Start Reactor" button. This opens the reactor configuration popup.
Enter Your Wallet Address
Paste your Solana wallet address in the input field. This is where SOL rewards from the vault will be sent. No wallet connection required — just paste the address. That wallet must hold at least 10,000 ENERGY.
Select CPU Cores
Use the slider or +/- buttons to choose how many CPU cores to dedicate to the reactor:
- The popup automatically detects your available CPU cores
- Default is set to 25% of your cores (recommended for normal computer use)
- More cores = higher hashrate = a larger share of each round's distribution
- Using all cores will maximize throughput but may slow down other applications
Start Reactor
Click "Start Reactor with X Cores" to bring the core online. You'll see:
- Your hashrate updating in real-time
- The number of active cores displayed in the stats panel
- Estimates and settled earnings updating as rounds progress
Scram Reactor
Click "Scram Reactor" anytime to halt the chain reaction.
CPU Core Recommendations:
- 25% of cores: Balanced running with normal computer use (default, recommended)
- 50% of cores: Higher hashrate while doing light tasks (browsing, documents)
- 75% of cores: Heavy running with minimal other tasks
- 100% of cores: Maximum hashrate (computer may feel slower)
Tips for Best Results:
- Keep the browser tab open – the reactor scrams when you close the tab
- The reactor runs in background tabs, but some browsers may throttle performance
Reaction Algorithm
Reactor uses a modified SHA-256 algorithm optimized for CPU reaction computation. Each hash attempt is a neutron fired at the core; when one produces a digest below the difficulty target, a valid reaction solution can be submitted and the round can close:
function searchReaction(headerTemplate, target, nonceStart, nonceEnd) {
for (let nonce = nonceStart; nonce < nonceEnd; nonce++) {
const header = headerTemplate + String(nonce)
const digest = sha256(sha256(header))
if (digestBelowTarget(digest, target)) {
return { nonce, digest }
}
}
return null
}The difficulty adjusts every reaction to maintain an average reaction cadence of 5 minutes. This keeps the chain reaction critical and ensures consistent rewards regardless of network hashrate fluctuations.
Wallet Setup
To earn yield, enter your Solana wallet address when you start the reactor. No wallet connection needed — paste the address where you want SOL vault payouts sent.
You must hold at least 10,000 ENERGY in that wallet to mine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the $ENERGY token contract address (CA)?
Q: How much can I earn running the reactor?
Yield depends on your hashrate relative to other operators during each open round. Higher sustained hashrate earns a larger share of the vault when that round closes.
Q: Will running the reactor damage my computer?
The reactor uses CPU resources but operates within safe parameters. Your CPU may run warmer and your fans may be louder while the reactor is online.
Q: Can I run the reactor on mobile?
Yes, mobile operators are supported.
Q: How do I receive my rewards?
SOL from the reactor vault is allocated by work-weight after each distribution round. Payouts are sent to the wallet address you configured when starting the reactor. You need at least 10,000 ENERGY in that wallet to meet the minimum balance requirement.
Q: Why is my hashrate fluctuating?
Hashrate naturally varies based on your CPU load, temperature, and available resources. Some variance is normal.
Q: How many CPU cores should I use?
It depends on what else you're doing. The default is 25% which is good for normal computer use. Use more cores for higher hashrate, fewer if you need your computer for other tasks.
Q: What happens if I use all my CPU cores?
Your hashrate will be maximized, but your computer may feel slower for other tasks. The reactor popup shows a warning when selecting 100% cores.
Q: Does the reactor run in background tabs?
Yes, but some browsers throttle background tabs. For best performance, keep the Reactor tab visible or use a separate browser window.
