FAQs

Fractal Bitcoin scales the Bitcoin network without changing its core code. It works directly within the Bitcoin Core codebase, ensuring compatibility and faster transactions. Its recursive structure provides infinite scalability.

Fractal Bitcoin uses scaling in the Bitcoin Core code for security. All layers are direct extensions of the Bitcoin main chain, so every transaction can be traced back to the original blockchain. This avoids forks or shards, ensuring consistent and secure scaling.

Fractal Bitcoin features fast transaction times, dynamic scaling, and consistency across all layers. It efficiently handles increased transaction loads without compromising security or decentralization.

Fractal Bitcoin is beneficial for developers, miners, and community members. Developers can build decentralized applications and experiment with new protocols on Fractal’s scalable framework.

Miners can use the unique Cadence Mining mechanism to mine both Bitcoin and Fractal blocks simultaneously, potentially increasing their earnings.

Community members can enjoy faster transactions and reduced congestion while participating in governance through FB tokens. They can join the testnet and engage with the Fractal community on platforms like GitHub.
