Fractal Bitcoin

Bitcoin

<p>The launch of Fractal Bitcoin, a new Bitcoin sidechain, has sparked debate in the mining community. The sidechain, which is merge-mined with Bitcoin, introduces a unique mechanism called Cadence Mining, allowing Bitcoin miners to merge-mine every third block for Fractal Bitcoin rewards. This could potentially boost miner revenues by increasing the number of rewards they receive from both BTC and Fractal Bitcoin tokens.</p>
<p>However, there are concerns that Fractal Bitcoin could lead to a decrease in network fees on the Bitcoin blockchain, which might hurt miner revenues. With 50% of Fractal Bitcoin's 210 million tokens allocated for mining and the other 50% pre-mined, miners are carefully weighing the potential benefits and risks of participating in this new ecosystem.</p>
