Fractal Bitcoin, a native Bitcoin scaling solution, unveiled its tokenomics model yesterday, allocating 80% of its total token supply to the community. The remaining 20% is reserved for the team and contributors with lock-up periods. Additionally, PizzaSwap is set to launch on the testnet this week, enabling users to trade native test assets on the Fractal network.
Fractal Bitcoin Tokenomics Breakdown
The project's explosive growth—boasting 11 million daily active addresses and 13 million daily transactions—stems partly from speculation around potential airdrops. Here's the allocation structure:
- Miners (50%): Mining rewards to secure the network
- Ecosystem Treasury (15%): Funds for Fractal ecosystem development
- Presale (5%): Early investor allocation with 7-month lock-up
- Advisors (5%): Strategic guidance providers
- Community Grants (10%): Partnerships and liquidity initiatives
- Core Contributors (15%): Core software development team
