On April 17, B² Network announced that the mainnet was officially launched to ordinary users, and announced a series of mainnet activities one after another. As a leading BTC Layer2 project, B² Network will definitely launch the mainnet and airdrop. This article has compiled the current interaction list of B² Network for everyone.
1. Introduction to B² Network
B² Network is a modular BTC Layer2 solution. It first launched its own B² Rollup and launched the mainnet on April 17. Based on a unique commitment verification scheme, B² Network can verify Rollup on the Bitcoin mainnet. Most BTC Layer2s have not yet solved this key problem - they cannot inherit the security of the Bitcoin mainnet. Therefore, B² Network standardized this solution and launched the DA solution to provide other Layer2s with Rollup commitment verification on Bitcoin.
B² Hub, the core component of B² Network, will enhance its security by integrating Babylon's BTC pledge. At the same time, B² Network also plans to integrate the BTC pledge function in B² Rollup to support B² Rollup's BTC LSD and BTC re-pledge scenarios. Currently, many BTC Rollup technical architectures on the market are based on B² Network's technical solutions. In the future, it is believed that many BTC Layer2s that are strong in application layer construction will adopt this solution to simply and efficiently make their own data available.
From the current experience, it is the most stable and smooth in BTC Layer2. B² released three versions of testnet in the early stage. The overall testnet time is relatively long in BTC Layer2, and it also pays the most attention to chain performance.
B² Network's investors also have luxurious backgrounds, including HashKey, OKX, Waterdrop, ABCDE, Kucoin, IDG, Antalpha, etc.
At its peak, B² Network TVL reached over 600 million US dollars. The official confirmed that 5% of the tokens will be airdropped to pledge users. Different from other pledge projects, B² closed deposits on March 12 and welded the doors shut, thus ensuring the participation benefits of participating users.
B² currently has the richest ecosystem in BTC Layer2. It announced a million-dollar Grant plan in January and issued three rounds of funding. There are many high-quality projects in the ecosystem, and the ecosystem applications in the infrastructure and DeFi categories were already well-stocked before the mainnet was released, and the projects are fully prepared for the mainnet.
B² is developing very steadily. The goals and roadmaps since the project was founded have been basically achieved steadily. It is considered a team with strong web3 implementation capabilities. I believe that if it continues to build, it will definitely usher in a big explosion.
In summary, B² Network is characterized by strong technology, grand narrative, good background, strong ability to continuously build, and steady development. As a very popular project in BTC Layer2, it is worth a try.
2. Interaction List
According to the official rules, there are two main types of interactions available. One is B² Discovery, which does not require assets. The second is B² Buzz, which is related to assets. The official said that 30% of the tokens will be put into B² Buzz, including 5% of the initial deposits. B² Discovery only said that there will be airdrops, but the specific amount is unknown.
1. B² Buzz
B² Buzz is an activity plan related to assets and chains, including but not limited to bridges, Runes activities, pledge alliances, and Bitcoin expansion network activities. The official has made it clear that 30% of the tokens will be released to users through Buzz, of which 0.5% will be for bridge activities.
The bridging guidelines are as follows:
① Currently, the official announcement and Official Twitter confirmed that the available bridges are:
Official bridge Particle Network: https://bsquared.network/bridge/ can transfer BTC
Other bridges such as Meson.Fi : https://meson.fi/ can transfer Wbtc, ETH, USDT, USDC
Owlto Finance: https://owlto.finance/?to=Bsquared supports many chains, including ETH, BNB, ARB, etc.
OmniBTC: https://app.omnibtc.finance/swap?fromChain=merlin&fromToken=BTC&toChain=bsquared&toToken=BTC supports conversions of 22+ chains in total, seamlessly linking EVM's WBTC to Layer 2
Mini Bridge: https://minibridge.chaineye.tools/
Bool Network: https://bsquared.boolbridge.com/
② Take the official bridge as an example: fill in the amount of BTC you want to transfer, connect the corresponding wallet mentioned above, and you can enjoy instant transfer from the evm chain to B².
Currently, Meson has synchronized the incentives for cross-bridge. In Meson, you can get 100 points for every $1,000 spent on most chain bridges. In other words, as long as you cross to B² through Meson, you can get double rewards from Meson and B². The gas fee for bridging from BNBChain to B² is less than 0.1U.
Other bridges will also launch incentive plans simultaneously, at least double the benefits.
③ The official has not yet announced how the bridging activity corresponds to the token airdrop. We can bridge a portion of the assets regularly, taking into account both the hash number and a certain amount of funds.
2. B² Discovery
B² Discovery currently has a total of 7 activities, 4 of which have already started. The specific guidelines are as follows:
① Explore B² Ecosystem with Okapi (Okapi)
(1) Open https://app.okapi.xyz/chain/b2_network and click on any project (for example: B² Network)
(2) Go to the review writing page and select the wallet login button in the upper right corner. You will be redirected to your personal page.
(3) Select Campaign: B² Ecosystem Discovery. Connect to Discord and Twitter as required, complete the task, and click Check completion to obtain the qualification to mint NFT on the B² mainnet. Mining has now begun.
Mint link: https://app.okapi.xyz/user/my-badges
(4) On the Okapi My badge page, click Update My Okapi Reputation Vault and connect to B² Network to Mint.
It should be noted that this Mint requires BTC to pay for the Gas fee. We can use the official bridge or other bridges to transfer a little BTC to the account in advance, so that we can not only get Okapi but also get the rewards of the Bridge later.
At the same time, we can see that many B² ecological projects have set up lucky draws in the Okapi Drops on the personal page. Many of the requirements are relatively easy to meet. You can upgrade by completing the tasks in the lower right corner of Okapi (if it is level 0, you can upgrade by connecting your social media account), and complete more interactions to improve your Degon Score to meet the conditions for receiving drops (it should be noted that users who log in for the first time need to complete tasks to level 1 before they can start to complete interactions because of Okapi’s anti-bot system).
② Co-create BTC GPT ( Flock.io )
In order to promote the popularization of knowledge in the BTC field, B² and FLock jointly launched the BTC GPT co-creation activity. The address of the user who completes the activity will be added to the white list within 24 hours, and the white list user can go to LayerCraft to cast the B² x FLock Badge. This activity is very worthwhile, because FLock is a high-quality project in the AI field that has not issued a coin. It has received 6 million US dollars in financing from OKX, Faction, DCG and other projects. The founding team is from Oxford, IDG and many well-known institutions, and the airdrop interaction users are open. Therefore, completing this co-creation activity can get three things: Flock points, flock and b2 nft, and B² Bridge activity rewards.
(2) Select points and chat with the BTC model to get 100 points
(3) Contribute tasks can also earn 100 points: You can see that the project party provides 3 examples. We can upload knowledge files and links about BTC, or directly output text. The operation is simple. One piece of information can add 10 points, and the maximum is 100 points per day.
(4) At the same time, completing other social media tasks can also add points

③ Runes Ecological Activities (Nat Jaguar)
Nat Jaguar is the first rune project on B², and it has many rune project parties linked to it. The rune event launched with B² has a prize of $666,666, and you can also mint medals later. Winners can also mint a special medal. These will become future airdrop vouchers.
(1) Post any kind of Rune-related or B²-related content (you will probably need to create a video or photo content if you want to win a prize) and tag it with #RuneSparkle, @BSquaredNetwork and @Nat_Jaguar, and tag your three friends.
The official said that as long as you participate, you can get medals and subsequent Rune airdrops. The top 10% of the interactive rankings can also get additional medals and subsequent B² tokens from B². I have also summarized the scoring format for everyone: 1 point for likes, 2 points for comments, and 3 points for retweets. If you want to rank higher, you can ask your friends and family to retweet more, or you can create awesome content for the official to see and retweet. This project is also free, so everyone can give it a try!
④ Convert users from Web2 to Web3 (UXlink)
Similar to the Okapi event, users can enter UXLink and complete simple tasks to share 2049 U, as well as UXUT and white orders. On May 2, white order users can mint NFT.
(1) Enter the event page: https://dapp.uxlink.io/discover/detail?id=1779158074653667348
(2) Complete the task
(3) Wait for May 2 to mint NFT
