Problem Analysis

KALE Mining Protocol Constraints

The KALE mining protocol enforces strict per-account limitations:

One plant() operation per block per account
One work() operation per block per account
One harvest() operation per block per account

Efficiency Analysis

With Keccak256 hash solving requiring ~20 seconds on high-performance hardware and 5-minute block intervals:

Hardware utilization: 20s / 300s = 6.7% efficiency
Resource accessibility: Excludes users without dedicated mining hardware
Network effect: Suboptimal resource allocation across the mining network

The Supply-Demand Imbalance

Traditional KALE Mining:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Block Time: 5 minutes (300 seconds)               │
│  ┌─────┐                              ┌─────────┐  │
│  │Work │ 280s IDLE TIME               │ Next    │  │
│  │ 20s │ (93.3% wasted)               │ Block   │  │
│  └─────┘                              └─────────┘  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
❌ Heavy machines: 93% idle time
❌ No-machine users: 100% excluded

Technical Solution

Parallel Processing Mining Architecture

The system implements a parallel processing architecture that decouples mining operations across multiple accounts while maintaining coordination through a centralized pool operator.

Core Design Principles

1. Account Multiplexing

Parallel plant() operations across multiple farmer accounts
Single mining infrastructure serving multiple participants
Eliminates per-account operation constraints
Horizontal scaling through account distribution

2. Resource Optimization

Mining hardware utilization approaches 100% of block time
Computational resources shared across multiple farmer stakes
Dynamic work allocation based on stake proportions
Reduces barrier to entry for smaller participants

3. Automated Coordination

Autonomous block monitoring and response
Optimal harvest timing algorithms
Minimal operator intervention required
Consistent uptime and reliability
