exSat uses RAM as the BTC metadata storage layer to create a secure, flexible, stable, and decentralized data availability layer (DA). This case study analyzes how this powerful combination can achieve mutual empowerment and release the value of the blockchain ecosystem.
1. exSat is developed on RAM, and the test network will be launched at the end of July
In previous articles, we explored in depth why exSat is the nuclear fusion engine of BTC. Now, we further explore how exSat uses RAM to provide efficient and secure BTC metadata storage, enhance the market value of RAM, promote technological innovation, and reflect its powerful performance and resource scarcity.
(1) exSat consumes 27% of the total RAM, greatly improving its scarcity and market value
RAM provides a complete and mature solution for exSat's decentralized indexing, creating a flexible and efficient BTC data availability layer. The implementation of the exSat project requires at least 108G of RAM, accounting for about 27% of the total, to store a large amount of BTC UTXO metadata. This directly increased the demand for RAM, stimulating market activity and transaction volume. Further operations will continue to consume RAM.
With the cessation of RAM issuance in December 2023, the total amount is locked at 390G, becoming a "non-renewable resource" and growing 85 times in six months. This may just be the beginning, as the large-scale BTC nuclear fusion engine - exSat - is about to start.

(2) exSat realizes "staking RAM, mining BTC" and airdrops to early RAM participants
Since the exSat network will "mirror" BTC mainnet data and use BTC to pay the exSat network gas fee, it rewards users who provide RAM rental resources, thereby realizing the concept of "staking RAM, mining BTC", which is currently only available on exSat.
In order to ensure that the project has 108G RAM and starts smoothly, the exSat network launched a "60,000 USD RAM staking airdrop event". Considering the huge market that exSat brings to BTC applications and the incentive of "staking RAM and mining BTC", this is good news for early RAM holders.
(3) exSat demonstrates the excellent performance of RAM and leads the development of more large-scale projects
The implementation of the exSat project will promote RAM-related technological innovation and resource optimization:
