【 One article to understand the recently popular Fractal Bitcoin, how can retail investors participate in mining? 】
1. What is Fractal Bitcoin?
To put it in one sentence, it is the side chain of Bitcoin POW. To be more specific, Bitcoin is a main chain, and the forked Bitcoin is a chain parallel to the main chain, and the two chains are connected by OPCAT technology.
2. Why does the market need Bitcoin bifurcation?
The current problem with Bitcoin is that the increase in transaction volume has led to longer transaction confirmation times and expensive handling fees. There are currently only two solutions in the market:
• Lightning Network
• Create a second layer to solve
Both solutions require additional infrastructure or complex operations to complete. The goal of the Bitcoin fork proposed by Unisats is to create an expansion solution that can be seamlessly integrated into the Bitcoin ecosystem. To put it bluntly, it does not require major changes to the Bitcoin core protocol (retaining the original foundation of Bitcoin) and can greatly improve network performance. This is exactly the most needed innovative product in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
