Launch of the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network
In a groundbreaking development, the Bitcoin Thunderbolt network has officially launched on its mainnet, representing the most significant technological advancement for Bitcoin in a decade. This pivotal announcement came from HSBC Bank, which confirmed that this marks the first time a prominent financial institution has positively recognized Bitcoin’s foundational technology in its official documents, indicating a growing interest from conventional finance in Bitcoin’s innovative infrastructure.
Collaboration and Features of the Network
The creation of the Bitcoin Thunderbolt network stemmed from a collaborative effort by miners from the Satoshi era, large Bitcoin holders, and the core development team, including contributions from Nubit. This upgrade incorporates the concepts of UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT via a soft fork, which:
- Facilitates on-chain native asset creation
- Enhances transaction speeds
- Allows for smart validation processes
Preliminary tests suggest that the new network can achieve efficiency levels as much as 100 to 200 times greater than that of the original Bitcoin chain.
Access and Incentives
At present, access to the Thunderbolt network is restricted to those who possess a Boosting Code, which is being circulated in limited quantities by core contributors like Nubit within the community. Acquiring this code also comes with an exclusive Bitcoin airdrop reward, further incentivizing early adoption and participation in this upgraded network.
