Fractal Bitcoin Mainnet Launch: Sparking a New Era for the Bitcoin Network
An Introduction to Fractal Bitcoin's Tokenomics and Participation Methods
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsFractal Bitcoin can enhance the transaction speed of the Bitcoin network and reduce fees, making it highly significant for the entire ecosystem. It is also likely to attract substantial capital interest. Therefore, early engagement with related projects is worth monitoring and participating in gradually.
If you find this concept a bit abstract or are unsure how to get involved, this post can serve as an introductory guide!
01 Project Overview and Progress
Fractal Bitcoin is a scaling solution for the Bitcoin network developed by the Unisat team.
For more details, refer to Biteye’s previous article: "The Next Big Thing in the Bitcoin Ecosystem Is Here!"
Yesterday, Fractal's mainnet officially launched and distributed the first round of Bootstrap airdrop rewards—500,000 $FB tokens were airdropped to UniSat users and another 500,000 $FB to OKX Wallet users. These rewards primarily target active participants in the Bitcoin ecosystem, including those engaged in runes and inscriptions trading. Qualifying for this basic-tier airdrop isn't difficult, making it relatively retail-friendly.
The total airdropped amount was 1 million $FB tokens, which is just a tiny fraction compared to the total supply of 210 million $FB. This small distribution aims to facilitate a smoother project launch, ensuring users have tokens to engage with the mainnet. You could say it's less of an airdrop and more of a subsidy for mainnet interaction gas fees.
02 Tokenomics
Before diving into participation methods, let’s review Fractal Bitcoin’s token model.
The total supply is 210 million tokens, with 50% allocated to PoW (Proof of Work), while the rest is distributed among core contributors, the ecosystem treasury, community, advisors, and private sale. This means the primary way for ordinary users to participate in Fractal Bitcoin is through PoW.
03 Ways to Participate
Method One: Mining Hardware
Fractal supports two types of PoW: merged mining and permissionless mining.
Specifically, its consensus mechanism is Proof of Work—identical to Bitcoin’s. Participants can use existing ASICs, GPUs, and other hardware devices to join. Merged mining allows simultaneous participation in both the Bitcoin mainnet and the Fractal network.
Fairpool, f2pool, and Solo Fractal all support this method. However, due to high costs, it's not ideal for most retail investors. We won’t elaborate further here; interested individuals can search for tutorials on YouTube.
Mining Method Two: Hashrate Rental
The key feature of hashrate rental is providing rentable computing power. Users only need to pay a leasing fee to access required computational resources, significantly reducing upfront hardware investment and maintenance costs. Compared to purchasing equipment, this option involves lower expenses.
The minimum monthly rental cost is 3 USDT per T, while annual plans go as low as 2 USDT + 10% per T per month. Participants currently earn 72,000 coins daily. Renting hashrate now carries non-trivial risks. Once inscriptions launch in 7 days, transaction fee earnings might increase substantially. Runes will go live after 28 days.
Note: When choosing a rental provider, prioritize large, reputable platforms.
Mining Method Three: Buying NFTs
Since most users lack professional mining hardware and hashrate is often monopolized by large companies, individual participation can be challenging. BitTera @BitTera_RWA, backed by Bitmain, has partnered with top-tier institutions to launch hashrate NFTs. By purchasing these NFTs, users gain entitlement to $FB token rewards—the most accessible method for retail investors today.
As the first PoW project on Fractal, BitTera presents relatively low risk and potentially higher returns. Divided by duration, BitTera offers four hashrate NFT products: 3-day, 7-day, 14-day, and 30-day options, each containing 10T of hashrate.
04 Other Related Projects
From DeFi to NFTs and gaming, numerous projects are preparing to launch on Fractal. Early involvement in these ecosystem projects may offer future airdrop opportunities. However, the biggest potential gains still lie in PoW. Users should carefully evaluate cost versus return based on their own circumstances.
