ChainCatcher report: The native companion asset of Bitcoin, DMT-NAT (abbreviated as NAT), has now launched on Spider Pool. Miners can now earn NAT rewards simultaneously within the same Bitcoin block they mine, achieving dual earnings and ushering in a new era of two-tier mining rewards. NAT shares the same hashing power, blocks, and addresses as BTC, requiring no additional setup to generate rewards in sync. This asset is minted every 10 minutes alongside Bitcoin blocks, with approximately 386 million NAT produced per block (currently valued at around $38 USD), corresponding to a total market cap of approximately $380 million. The issuance volume will gradually decrease over time as block height and mining difficulty increase, with all code fully open-source. When the per-block reward reaches $50,000 (implying a market cap of $50 billion), it will offset a portion of miners’ operational costs, thereby boosting overall network hashing power. Against the backdrop of Bitcoin’s halving, this innovation injects fresh momentum for Bitcoin miners.
NAT launches on SpiderPool, enabling dual mining of BTC and NAT in the same block.

Summary
NAT (DMT-NAT) is now live on SpiderPool, enabling simultaneous BTC updates and NAT dual mining within the same block. Miners can earn both BTC and NAT rewards at the same time. NAT shares Bitcoin’s hash power, block, and address, with approximately 386 million NAT generated per block (worth ~$38) every 10 minutes. The total market cap is around $38 million, and output will decrease as block height and hash difficulty increase. The project aims to offset miner costs and boost hash power when the block reward reaches $50,000—potentially before Bitcoin’s next halving. This on-chain development marks a significant step in NAT’s adoption.
