Test (Beta) Live Now
We are thrilled to announce that the Fractal beta is officially live, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of Bitcoin scalability and blockchain technology. This launch represents the culmination of years of innovative development, extensive testing, and the collaborative efforts of our dedicated community and development team.
Fractal is not just another Layer 2 solution; it is a pioneering framework that introduces virtualization to the Bitcoin network, enabling infinite scalability while maintaining high consistency with Bitcoin’s core principles. Our unique approach allows for dynamic expansion, ensuring that the network can support internet-scale applications without compromising on security or efficiency.
The Fractal mainnet — coming September 2024 — will leverage the classic SHA256 PoW algorithm, fully compatible with Bitcoin’s merged mining, ensuring seamless integration for miners and maintaining the robust security standards of the Bitcoin network. Thanks to our innovative cadence mining approach, we put together the best of both worlds with merged-mining and permissionless mining.
One of Fractal’s standout features is its ability to support various applications, from large-scale creative economy ecosystems to high-demand gaming environments. This dynamic scalability means that Fractal can handle real-time adjustments, providing a reliable and efficient platform for diverse use cases.
In addition to its technical prowess, Fractal maintains a strong alignment with Bitcoin’s design philosophy. By operating within Bitcoin’s logical boundaries and ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure, Fractal not only addresses current network congestion issues but also sets the stage for future growth and innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
As we move forward, our focus will be on expanding the Fractal ecosystem through strategic partnerships, developer engagement, and continuous enhancements. We are excited about the potential applications and the transformative impact that Fractal can have on the blockchain landscape.
For now, we invite developers, miners, and blockchain enthusiasts to join us on our beta. Together, we can unlock new possibilities for Bitcoin and drive the next wave of blockchain innovation. Welcome to the future of scalable and efficient blockchain technology. Welcome to Fractal.
