The hype around Bitcoin Runes has faded, and now it’s time to enter the Fractal Bitcoin moment.
Fractal Bitcoin was born out of the long-standing scalability issues of the Bitcoin network. Although there have been some Bitcoin expansion solutions before, such as the Lightning Network, these solutions have never been widely adopted. Fractal Bitcoin was built by the Bitcoin wallet team Unisat, and there are some core contributors, including Block Space Force. It claims to be the only Bitcoin expansion solution that uses the Bitcoin core code itself to recursively expand infinite layers on the world's most secure and most held blockchain. The goal is to create an expansion solution that can be seamlessly integrated into the Bitcoin ecosystem, without requiring major modifications to the Bitcoin core protocol, and can significantly improve network performance.

Fractal Bitcoin is currently in the testnet stage, and various tutorials have been circulated everywhere. The mainnet is expected to be officially launched on September 9. The economics of its token ($FB) have been announced: 80% of all tokens are allocated to the community, and 20% of the tokens with a lock-up period are allocated to the team and contributors.
Testnet interactive activities are currently very popular. According to browser data, the number of active addresses on the Fractal Bitcoin testnet has reached 109,300, and the number of transactions in 24 hours has exceeded 107,400. Such a large number has caused the testnet to overload frequently. Unisat officials said that due to the surge in robot activities, the Fractal testnet was under tremendous pressure, causing the system to overload frequently. In order to ensure a more fair testing environment, the testnet basic engraving service fee has been adjusted to 0.01 tFB. In addition, the single faucet claim amount will be increased to 0.1 tFB.

In addition, a large number of applications have been built on Fractal Bitcoin. Here are a few projects worth paying attention to.
1. SatsPump.fun
SatsPump.fun is the Bitcoin equivalent of Pump.fun. It is a memecoin launch platform.
SatsPump.Fun is the first platform of its kind on Bitcoin, leveraging Fractal Bitcoin technology to provide secure, simple, fast, reliable, and scalable token issuance through community-driven liquidity pools. SatsPump.Fun aims to be the leading platform in the field of decentralized token issuance on Bitcoin, thanks to fast 30-second block confirmations and recursive scaling technology through Fractal Bitcoin. For the first time in Bitcoin history, users will be able to experience token issuance and trading similar to Solana and other EVM chains.
The project previously confirmed that it would airdrop $FB tokens (Fractal Bitcoin tokens) to its utility token holders.

2. UniWorlds
UniWorlds is a gaming infrastructure platform based on the Bitcoin ecosystem, leveraging fractal Bitcoin technology, providing a comprehensive set of tools to develop and manage mobile games and gamification environments, including:
- UniWorlds Studio/Game Engine
- Module Library
- Fragment/Space
- Uniworlds Market
Our platform aims to bring more real-world interactions and applications to Bitcoin. UniWorlds makes it possible for Web2 developers to reach Web3 audiences without a steep learning curve. Web3 communities can use our game creation tools to engage users and add utility to their tokens in a cost-effective manner.
UniWorlds received seed round financing jointly invested by Unisat and other UGC platforms in early August, the specific amount of which is unknown.

3. BTC Terminal
BTC Terminal provides a simple way to participate in fractal mining, that is, to mine Fractal Bitcoin ($FB) by renting computing power, allowing everyone to participate in $FB. There is no need to be a technical expert or own expensive hardware to participate in the future of Bitcoin expansion.

4. Honzomomo
Honzomomo aims to become the first ordinal collection on Fractal Bitcoin!
Honzomomo is inspired by Neanderthals. They compare the story of Neanderthals to the evolving Bitcoin ecosystem. Bitcoin came first, and with it came a vast blockchain ecosystem. These accompanying blockchain projects and networks grew through various activities, showing their potential. With Honzomomo, they will push the Bitcoin ecosystem forward just like Neanderthals did!
5. nodinoBtc
nodinoBtc is the first Telegram game on Fractal Bitcoin. It is themed on space games and plans to issue core asset NFTs on the fractal network. The project style is very interesting. It has established cooperative relationships with multiple Fractal Bitcoin ecosystems, including SatsPump.fun.
The project features 1,000 adorable Maneki Neko digital ordinals collectibles. Holders of this Maneki Neko ordinals collectible will receive an airdrop of Maneki Neko memecoin on Fractal Bitcoin. 100% of the memecoin supply is dedicated to Maneki Neko growth on Fractal, with the following distribution: 90% will be airdropped to Maneki Neko ordinals holders, and 10% will be used to provide liquidity for Fractal Swap.

6. InfinityAI
InfinityAI is a one-stop Web3&AIGC platform on Fractal Bitcoin that can perform AI mapping. It is currently in testing, and you can complete various tasks on the website and then earn project points. Participating in the test will receive token airdrops.

7. FSIC
Fractal Specific Integrated Circuit (FSIC) is a $FB native token pre-miner for Fractal Bitcoin. It consists of 3,800 FSIC ordinals, and holders of FISC can pre-mine $FB. After the Fractal Bitcoin mainnet is launched, FSIC will immediately start mining $FB and airdrop it to holders.

8. Pizzaswap
The Unisat team has released the DEX product Pizzaswap, which is now officially open for testing on the Fractal test network, allowing users to easily exchange, deposit and manage their assets.
