B² Network Mainnet Launch BTC Layer2 Ecosystem Participation Guide
B² Network Mainnet Launch: Detailed Interaction List
B² Network, as a leading Layer 2 solution for Bitcoin, officially opened its Mainnet to the general public on April 17. As a highly anticipated project, the launch of B² Network's Mainnet brings users a wealth of interactive opportunities. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the background of B² Network and the main interactive activities currently available for user participation.
B² Network Project Overview
B² Network is a modular BTC Layer2 solution, with its core product B² Rollup having gone live on the Mainnet on April 17. The project employs a unique commitment verification scheme, achieving Rollup verification on the Bitcoin Mainnet, which is a key issue that many BTC Layer2 projects have yet to solve. B² Network not only standardizes this scheme but also launches a DA solution, providing Rollup commitment verification services on the Bitcoin network for other Layer2 projects.
The B² Network plans to enhance the security of the B² Hub by integrating Babylon's BTC staking and to support BTC LSD and BTC re-staking features in the B² Rollup. Currently, many BTC Rollup projects have drawn on the technical solutions of the B² Network. In the future, there may be more application-layer focused BTC Layer2 projects adopting this efficient data availability solution.
In terms of actual user experience, B² Network performs excellently and is one of the most stable and smooth-running projects in the BTC Layer2 space. The project team places great importance on chain performance and has released three versions of the testnet in the early stages, which is relatively long for BTC Layer2 projects.
B² Network has a strong investment background, including well-known institutions such as HashKey, OKX, Kucoin, and IDG. The project's TVL peaked at over $600 million, and the official commitment is to airdrop 5% of the tokens to staking users. Unlike other staking projects, B² Network closed the deposit channel on March 12 to protect the earnings of early participants.
In terms of ecological construction, B² Network stands out. The project announced a million-dollar Grant program in January and has completed three rounds of funding. There are already several high-quality projects within its ecosystem, with a rich reserve of applications in the infrastructure and DeFi fields, fully preparing for the Mainnet launch.
Overall, B² Network has characteristics such as strong technical strength, broad development prospects, a solid background, and strong continuous construction capabilities. As one of the most关注 projects in the current BTC Layer2 field, it is worth users actively participating.
Main Interactive Activities
According to the rules published by the official, the interactive activities that users can currently participate in are mainly divided into two categories: B² Discovery and B² Buzz. Among them, B² Discovery does not involve asset operations, while B² Buzz is related to assets. The official stated that 30% of the tokens will be distributed to users through B² Buzz, including a 5% share for previous deposit users. B² Discovery will also have airdrops, but the specific ratio has not yet been announced.
1. B² Buzz Event
B² Buzz includes activities related to assets and on-chain operations, such as cross-chain bridging, Runes activities, staking alliances, and Bitcoin expansion network activities. The official confirmation states that 30% of the tokens will be distributed to users through Buzz activities, with bridging activities accounting for 0.5%.
Currently, users can use multiple cross-chain bridges for asset transfer, including:
Taking the official bridge as an example, users only need to fill in the amount of BTC for transfer and connect the corresponding wallet to complete the bridging. From EVM chains to B², instant arrival can be enjoyed.
It is worth noting that Meson has launched a cross-bridge incentive program, where users can earn 100 points by bridging $1000 through Meson from most chains, achieving dual rewards from Meson and B². The bridging gas fee from BNB Chain to B² is less than 0.1U.
Other bridging platforms will gradually launch incentive programs, allowing users to receive multiple rewards. Although the official details on the correlation between the bridging activities and token airdrops have not yet been announced, it is recommended that users regularly bridge a portion of their assets to balance the number of transactions and the amount of funds.
2. B² Discovery event
B² Discovery currently has 7 activities, 4 of which have started. The main activities include:
(1) Okapi Ecosystem Exploration
Users can explore the B² ecosystem through the Okapi platform, and after completing tasks, they will be eligible to mint NFTs on the B² Mainnet. The specific steps are as follows:
Note: Minting NFTs requires BTC to pay gas fees, and a small amount of BTC can be transferred in advance through the official bridge or other bridges.
(2) BTC GPT Co-creation Event
B² has partnered with Flock to launch the BTC GPT co-creation event, aiming to popularize knowledge in the BTC field. Users who complete the event can obtain whitelist eligibility for minting the B² x Flock Badge. Participation in this event will also earn Flock points, co-branded NFTs, and rewards from the B² Bridge event.
Participation Steps:
(3) Runes Eco Activities
Nat Jaguar, as the first rune project on B², jointly launched a rune event with B², featuring a prize pool of $666,666. Participants can mint medals later, and winners can also mint special medals. These medals will serve as proof for future airdrops.
Participation method:
The top 10% of participants can receive additional rewards from B².
(4) UXlink Web3 conversion event
Users can share a bonus of 2049U by completing simple tasks on the UXLink platform, while also obtaining UXUT and whitelist qualifications. On May 2nd, whitelist users can mint NFTs.
3. Other On-Chain Interactions
The B² ecosystem projects are being deployed one after another, and users can participate in the following activities:
In summary, the launch of the B² Network Mainnet provides users with rich interactive opportunities. Whether participating in Discovery activities, Buzz activities, or other on-chain interactions, users have the chance to receive potential airdrop rewards. It is recommended that users choose suitable interaction methods based on their own circumstances and actively participate in the construction of the B² Network ecosystem.
