What is $TIM?
A digital asset that measures value in minutes of verifiable mining time — explained without the maths jargon.
Time is the only true scarcity
Central banks can print currency and miners can add machines, but nobody can manufacture another minute. $TIM takes that hard limit and turns it into a unit of account: the asset is denominated in duration, not in dollars.
One $TIM = one minute
Ask a simple question: how long would a fast proof-of-work network have to emit coins before it accumulated one Bitcoin of value? That answer is a number of minutes. Slice it into single minutes and each slice is one $TIM.
Priced from public data
You only need three public inputs: the Bitcoin price, the speed reference coin price, and the published emission rate. Anyone can reproduce the price exactly — no committee, no reserve, no trust assumption.
A hedge against price swings
If Bitcoin doubles, the time needed to reach one BTC of value moves too — so the minute price does not simply double with it. $TIM behaves like an anchor between two volatile assets instead of leveraged exposure to either one.

How it works, step by step
- 1
Look up the live Bitcoin price. Call it P_BTC.
- 2
Look up the live speed reference coin (Kaspa) price. Call it P_SRC.
- 3
Divide: how many KAS would you need to buy one BTC? That is N_SRC.
- 4
Divide again by the emission rate — 2,774.96 KAS produced every minute — to get a duration in minutes, T_total.
- 5
One minute out of that duration, expressed in dollars, is the price of one $TIM.
$TIM vs BTC vs KAS
The index resolves to the emission clock (P_TIM = R_SRC · P_SRC), so the solid gold $TIM line rides the dotted cyan SRC line and is structurally decoupled from the orange Bitcoin line: a BTC shock re-prices T_total, not the minute itself. That is how $TIM absorbs Bitcoin volatility.
