Fractal Bitcoin

Fractal Bitcoin is the only Bitcoin scaling solution that uses the Bitcoin Core code itself to recursively scale unlimited layers on top of the world’s most-secure and-held blockchain. UniSat, as one of the core contributors to Fractal Bitcoin, participates in the development and maintenance of its core infrastructure — supporting Fractal’s sustainable growth and long-term stability.

Fractal Bitcoin - A truly native scaling solution

Fractal is the first instance of a virtualization methodology applied to Bitcoin in the world. Fractal gradually extends the Bitcoin blockchain into a scalable computing system without breaking consistency with the Bitcoin main chain.

  • Native

    Recursive scaling of Bitcoin Core code itself — without any foreign constructs — ensures consistent and unlimited scaling, and native support of current infrastructure (e.g. wallets).

  • Fast

    Block confirmation times are 30 seconds or less, with 20x increase in capacity per layer.

  • Dynamic Scaling

    On-chain interactions can scale up and down as demand changes; it acts as a dynamic “blockspace load balancer” and reduces congestion on any specific layer. This enables internet-scale applications on the Bitcoin blockchain, as has never been done before.

  • Consistent

    Due to each layer’s self-replicating consistency with the main chain, on-chain consensus is preserved. Any layer’s transactions/hashes can be traced back to the source on the Bitcoin chain, without the risks of forks or shards involved.

  • Easy

    Additionally, due to this consistency across layers, assets can be directly transferred from layer to another without the need for additional relays.
