What is Fractal BTC?
Fractal Bitcoin is an innovative solution designed to expand Bitcoin's functionality, supported by the Unisat team. It does this by building a sidechain on the Bitcoin mainnet to increase transaction speed and expand functionality. Here are some key points about Fractal Bitcoin:
Technical features: Fractal BTC uses a recursive method to expand the Bitcoin core code itself to an infinite level. This method is different from the traditional Layer 2 solution. It does not simply add a layer, but gradually expands the Bitcoin network through virtualization technology and recursion.
Compatibility: Fractal BTC is fully compatible with Bitcoin and its infrastructure, supporting unprecedented Internet-scale applications. This means it can process 20 times more transactions than the Bitcoin main chain, while flexibly adjusting the number of channels according to the congestion level of the main chain.
Token: The token of Fractal Bitcoin is called FB (Fractal Bitcoin) and is used for transaction fees, node and service access, project launchpad, Fractal top layer, and ecosystem management.
Ecosystem: The ecosystem of Fractal BTC includes but is not limited to stablecoins, DeFi applications, Ordinals (NFT on Bitcoin), large-scale games, etc. Currently, InfinityAI, as a project on Fractal Bitcoin, has been launched on the test network, providing Web3 and AIGC platform services.
Testnet and mainnet: The testnet of Fractal BTC is already online, and users can receive test coins through the official website. The mainnet is expected to be launched in September 2024, when Brc-20 and other functions will be officially launched.
Investment opportunities: Since Fractal BTC is an emerging Bitcoin ecological project, participating in its early construction and testing may bring significant benefits. The community and investors are optimistic about its future development and believe that it may be the next outbreak point of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
