Fractal, the native second-layer Bitcoin fork led by Unisat & BSF, officially landed on the mainnet and produced blocks at 8 am yesterday. However, it seems that everyone has no idea where to start and there is nothing to interact with, because Fractal is just "on"the mainnet . This article will analyze what happened in the 24 hours since the Fractal mainnet was launched from a data perspective.
Data Overview
- Current block number: 4630
- Average block time: 30 seconds
- Total number of transactions: 131,698
- Total fees burned: 3.243 FB
Block capacity
There was also a significant increase in blocks 3500-3800. The reason was that at 2 a.m. Beijing time, The project team has launched an inscription project, where users can pay 0.05 FB to cast inscriptions. However, since Fractal has clearly stated that the casting of inscriptions will only be open in a few days, it is uncertain whether this casting will be effective.
- In summary, it is not recommended to rent computing power off-site for mining, as the odds are extremely low and the computing power is more unstable . , the income under the same computing power is much lower than that of other mining pools.
Merged Mining
As can be seen from the figure, most of the blocks are still non-interactive and very quiet. However, there were nearly 50,000 interactions between blocks 3500-3800. The reason is the same as above. This was caused by the project party launching the Inscription project.
Ecosystem Construction
Many ways to play Fractal have not yet appeared, including the official Pizzaswap . The on-chain Brc20 (launched at block 21,000) and Runes (launched at block 84,000) have not yet been deployed. I would like to introduce you to some projects that I think are pretty good.
Bitcoin's Pumpfun can also be implemented on BTC due to Fractal's efficient block production speed.
Abstract style NFT, claimed to be the first Ordinals NFT on Fractal.
One of the core team members of Fractal, working on the Bitcoin DA layer, with strong financing and background.
In summary, Fractal has only just “launched” the mainnet, and we suggest that everyone wait for good news.
