Prosper is bridging institutional-grade Bitcoin mining power on-chain and aiming to fully unlock the potential of the most decentralized cryptocurrency.
In a momentous development, Prosper has entered into a groundbreaking, long-term agreement with BITMAIN, the world's leading manufacturer of digital currency mining servers.
Under the partnership, BITMAIN and its affiliates will provide hosting services for Prosper's foundation-owned Bitcoin miners, bringing institutional-grade mining execution quality for the benefit of $PROS holders. The first batch of hashrate is expected to come online later today and accessible via Prosper's v1 web app.

5 November 2024 October was huge for Prosper and $PROS holders. We began the launch of Prosper’s new chapter at the start of the month, and within one month, the team has reached a number of meaningful milestones and seen a lot of positive traction as a result. Read on for a recap of all things that happened in October! New App Launch + Reward Campaign We launched the Prosper V1 web app, together with our first reward campaign, allowing $PROS holders to earn wrapped $BTC rewards in a preview of
Our first $PROS reward campaign has concluded—in total, more than $100,000 worth of wrapped $BTC was allocated to the community members who participated!
Don’t fret if you missed your chance to participate in this first campaign. The second reward campaign will start next week—read on for more details.
PIP-3 passed yesterday, and today, we continue to build and look ahead at what’s coming next.
As operations of our first batch of hashrate stabilize and we work to bring more hashrate online, we are planning ahead beyond this current phase of hashrate backfilling and starting to make preparations for Phase 2: Protocol Scaling.
Given that the constantly developing and growing $BTC and Web3 ecosystem is not focused on a single chain, we see an omnichain token as an important enabler of scaling Prosper in the future to allow $PROS and its holders to have as much access and connection to the wider ecosystem as possible.
Transfer your $PROS seamlessly between Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) networks, powered by @LayerZero_Core infrastructure and audited by @SlowMist_Team.
Our first reward campaign for $PROS holders commenced with the launch of our v1 web app on 31 October 2024. Since then, over 1.3M $PROS have been staked thus far.
Over the course of the campaign, we have observed community feedback of users wanting to be able to see estimated rewards, even if they haven’t yet staked (an estimate is currently available for stakers).
As such, we present this simple proposal for community decision on whether or not we dedicate some resources to making a simple calculator available for any user.

p.s. there just might be a bonus again for voters in the next reward campaign…

Our first batch of hashrate is now LIVE on the v1 web app.
250 petahash of Bitcoin mining power has been successfully backfilled and is now up-and-running for the benefit of $PROS holders. A significant milestone for Prosper as we continue building the Bitcoin ecosystem's future.
This is just the beginning—MORE hashrate to be backfilled throughout November as the community rallies behind our vision.
Hashrate will be stablizing in these first few days. We are closely monitoring performance and will make sure operations are smooth and stable before bringing more hashrate online.
With the new bridge, $PROS holders will be able to easily and conveniently transfer tokens between the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and Ethereum blockchains directly using their self-custodial wallets.
Security and robustness of the bridge is a top priority, which is why we have been working with @SlowMist_Team for smart contract auditing and also making use of proven cross-chain infrastructure from @LayerZero_Core.
Prosper is excited to announce that @BITMining_BTCM has made an investment into Prosper’s native token $PROS. This investment from BIT Mining represents another significant validation of Prosper’s thesis by institutional backers which reinforces the credibility and viability of Prosper’s new strategic vision.
