🍃Background

The cryptocurrency landscape has witnessed tremendous growth and innovation since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009. As the pioneer of digital assets, Bitcoin has solidified its place as the most valuable and widely recognized cryptocurrency. However, despite its dominance, Bitcoin's original design poses limitations in terms of scalability, transaction speed, and adaptability to the growing demands of decentralized applications (dApps) and protocols.

The Fractal Bitcoin Network was developed to address these challenges by enhancing Bitcoin’s functionality without altering its core principles. The Fractal Network introduces a layered architecture that allows for the expansion and optimization of Bitcoin’s capabilities. By implementing recursive fractal layers on top of the Bitcoin main chain, the network can handle significantly more transactions, support various decentralized protocols, and maintain the security and integrity that Bitcoin is known for.

FractalVM is a virtual machine built on this innovative Fractal Bitcoin Network. It is designed to leverage the network’s fractal layers, providing a robust and scalable environment for developers to build and deploy decentralized applications directly on the Bitcoin ecosystem. Unlike traditional Bitcoin, which primarily functions as a store of value and medium of exchange, FractalVM expands Bitcoin’s utility by integrating support for multiple protocols, including BRC20, ARC20, and Fractal NFT, among others.

This evolution of the Bitcoin network through the Fractal framework marks a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency world. It enables Bitcoin to transcend its original limitations and become a versatile platform capable of supporting a wide array of decentralized financial products, NFTs, and more. As the demand for blockchain technology grows, FractalVM and the Fractal Bitcoin Network stand at the forefront, offering a future where Bitcoin can scale, innovate, and meet the diverse needs of the global blockchain community.
