DIESEL mining
On buys and normal swaps, the bot can mine DIESEL into your own wallet in the same transaction, 100% yours, for a few extra sats in network fee.
DIESEL is the native fuel token of the Alkanes metaprotocol. New DIESEL is minted block by block, and each block's mint is shared among the transactions that ask for it. Because supply is fixed and emitted on a schedule, that per-block share is a real asset you can hold, trade, or route through pools.
Alkanex can grab a piece of that mint for you while it does work you were already doing. On a buy or a normal swap, the bot appends a DIESEL mint to the same Bitcoin transaction and points it at your own wallet. You get your share of that block's mint, 100% yours, for a few extra sats in network fee.
What you get
When DIESEL mining is on, every qualifying trade does two things in one transaction: it executes your swap, and it mints DIESEL to your wallet. The success card adds a line, "DIESEL mined: {amount}", with the note "100% yours, in your wallet."
The mint lands in an isolated output that belongs to you. The bot does not take a cut of it and it does not route to a treasury. It mines to you.
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Where it goes | Your own wallet, in the same transaction as the trade |
| Who keeps it | You. 100% yours, not skimmed by the bot |
| Cost to you | A small amount added to the network fee. A few extra sats |
| Default | On, once your operator enables the feature account-wide |
| Where you control it | Settings · DIESEL Mining toggle |
When it applies
Mining rides along with trades that buy or swap into a token. It does not run on sells.
| Action | DIESEL mined? |
|---|---|
| Buy a token | Yes |
| Normal swap into a token | Yes |
| Sell a token | No |
If you want the mint, do it on the way in. A sell will not include one.
How to turn it on or off
DIESEL mining has two switches, and both have to allow it for the mint to happen.
- The operator master. Your operator enables DIESEL mining account-wide for the bot. Until they do, no trade mints DIESEL, regardless of your personal setting.
- Your per-user toggle. In Settings · DIESEL Mining, you control it for your own account. It is kept on by default.
So the effective behavior is: the operator master and your toggle, both on. With the master on (which is the case in production) and your toggle left at its default, your buys and normal swaps mine DIESEL. Flip your toggle off in Settings any time and your trades stop minting.
Why two switches
The honest framing
This is the part worth being precise about.
- The DIESEL is minted to your wallet, not to the bot. The bot is not skimming a fee out of the mint. The relevant code path mints to the user and never to a treasury.
- It costs you a few extra sats in network fee, nothing more. There is no separate charge for it.
- It is on by default at the per-user level, so you do not have to opt in, but you can opt out whenever you like.
In short: the bot is doing a swap you wanted anyway, and while the transaction is open it claims a block's DIESEL share into your wallet for a marginal fee bump.
Good to know
- The minted amount shown on the success card is for display and your own tracking. Treat it as analytics, not a settled accounting balance.
- DIESEL arrives in a dust output that can briefly share a UTXO with other alkanes. If you trade again immediately you may see "Your balance sits in a UTXO that holds more than one alkane. Wait for the DIESEL dust to settle, then try again." Give it a moment and retry.
- A standalone, scheduled "auto-claim DIESEL" job is not part of the bot. Coming soon Today, DIESEL is mined only as a passenger on a buy or normal swap you make.
