Fractal bitcoin, a bitcoin-native scaling solution, officially launched its mainnet today, marking a significant advancement in bitcoin scalability. By utilizing bitcoin Core code, Fractal enables unlimited layer scaling, potentially supporting internet-scale applications while maintaining bitcoin network consensus.
Since its testnet debut in July 2024, the platform has registered 11.5 million unique addresses and facilitated 13.6 million transactions.
Lorenzo, Director of UniSat and Fractal Core Contributor, said: “The launch of Fractal on mainnet is a pivotal moment for the bitcoin ecosystem. It provides a platform for developers to build native solutions on bitcoin without relying on external builds.”
Fractal’s technology enables block confirmation times of 30 seconds or less and increases capacity by 20x per layer. It supports multiple protocols including BRC-20 and Ordinals and remains compatible with existing bitcoin addresses. The network operates on a proof-of-work basis with a hybrid mining structure known as “Cadence Mining.”
