Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is DLT256’s core focus?
DLT256 delivers regulated access to Bitcoin infrastructure through high-capacity mining contracts, ESG-certified BTC supply, and tokenized profit-sharing instruments—all purpose-built for institutional portfolios.
Where is DLT256 based?
DLT256 GmbH is incorporated in Zürich, Switzerland and operates under Swiss commercial and data protection laws. Services are structured for compliance within Swiss, EU, and select international frameworks.
Does DLT256 operate under financial licensing?
No. DLT256 is not a licensed financial advisor, broker-dealer, or asset manager. We deliver infrastructure-based services, with financial instruments (e.g., security tokens) structured and distributed via private placement to eligible investors only.
What are the minimum contract terms?
Typical contracts start with 1 PH/s minimum capacity, scaling up to 46 months for long term allocations.
How is BTC output calculated?
Output is determined by deployed hashpower, uptime, global network difficulty and miner reward economics (including block subsidy + transaction fees). Forecasts are provided pre-engagement and updated on request.
What if difficulty rises during my contract?
Rising difficulty reduces the relative BTC output per TH/s. This is a core variable of mining economics. Contracts remain performance-based and DLT256 publishes monthly difficulty-adjusted output reporting.
Can mining contracts be canceled early?
No. All compute contracts are prepaid and non-cancellable once deployed, as they correspond to fixed physical capacity leased for the term.
What kind of mining does DLT256 offer?
We offer leased SHA-256 mining capacity for Bitcoin (BTC) only. Contracts are structured with fixed term, fixed compute power (TH/s) and/or monthly BTC output based on live performance.
Is this cloud mining or physical ownership?
DLT256 provides infrastructure-backed mining-as-a-service. Clients lease capacity, DLT256 manages operations, performance, uptime, and delivery. There is no direct hardware ownership or physical delivery.
What mining hardware is used?
We deploy ASIC-based SHA-256 mining fleets, including next-generation units (e.g., Antminer series), optimized for power efficiency and uptime.
Can clients choose energy profile or region?
Yes. ESG-minded clients may opt for renewable-based allocations, paired with Guarantees of Origin (GoOs) or carbon mitigation instruments.
Where is the BTC sent?
To the wallet address you provide during onboarding. We support institutional-grade wallets (qualified custodians, multi-sig, hardware wallets) and require a signed wallet declaration.
Are BTC deliveries on-chain and auditable?
Yes. All BTC deliveries are single-transaction transfers per client per payout cycle. Each transfer is paired with on-chain explorer data and a delivery confirmation.
Is mining output subject to fees or hidden costs?
No. All service fees are embedded into the contract. BTC delivered is net output, clearly stated in advance. We do not deduct post-mining custody or operational charges.
Can I procure carbon-neutral Bitcoin?
Yes. Our ESG contract suite allows BTC allocations to be paired with REOCs (Renewable Energy Origin Certificates), GoOs, and verified carbon offsets (including from Frontier carbon removal portfolios).
How often is ESG reporting provided?
Typically monthly or quarterly. Reports include energy source, carbon emissions per BTC, certificate tracking IDs, and registry proof. Custom ESG summaries can be prepared for portfolio integration.
Are ESG services optional?
Yes. ESG procurement is a value-added service tier. Standard mining contracts do not include environmental certifications unless specifically selected.
What is the DLT256 Security Token?
It is a Swiss-issued digital security offering 80% profit participation from DLT256’s mining operations. Distributed via private placement under Swiss Code of Obligations (Art. 973d).
How are yields structured?
Token holders receive proportional profit distributions from mining revenues (BTC + transaction fees), less operational expenses. Profits are distributed via XRP Ledger smart contracts.
Is this token publicly listed?
No. It is offered privately to eligible investors. Liquidity may be provided in future via regulated venues or OTC mechanisms subject to legal approval.
What is the token’s underlying economic value?
It is backed by active, revenue-producing mining infrastructure and structured with contractual rights to its profit flow.
What type of investors may engage DLT256?
Only institutional and professional investors, such as hedge funds, family offices, digital asset funds, corporates, and qualified custodians. We follow jurisdictional classifications (e.g., FinSA, MiFID II).
What is required for onboarding?
KYC/AML documentation, regulatory investor classification, wallet declaration, and contract execution. Security token subscribers must complete additional legal checks.
Does DLT256 onboard U.S. investors?
No. DLT256 does not onboard U.S. persons or entities.
Do I receive an invoice for mining contracts?
Yes. All services are invoiced under EU or Swiss commercial law and include VAT treatment where applicable.
Are mining rewards taxable?
This depends on your jurisdiction and structure. DLT256 does not provide tax advice. We recommend clients consult with qualified tax counsel for treatment of BTC receipts or tokenized yield.
Is performance reporting available?
Yes. Monthly mining reports, yield dashboards (for token holders), ESG summaries and cumulative payout records are available via our investor portal and on request depending the service.
What risks should I consider?
Mining involves risks related to Bitcoin price, network difficulty, hardware degradation, regulatory shifts, and energy pricing. Tokenized instruments carry liquidity and jurisdictional exposure. All products are for sophisticated users only.
Is DLT256 responsible for market losses?
No. All mining contracts and tokens are non-guaranteed and non-insured. DLT256 provides infrastructure, not investment returns. Outcomes vary with market conditions.
Do these FAQs replace legal agreements?
No. This FAQ is informational. Each service engagement is governed by a signed contract, which prevails in case of any inconsistency.
