B² Network Mainnet Launch: Interaction Checklist and Event Overview

As an important project in the Bitcoin Layer 2 space, B² Network officially opened its Mainnet to the general public on April 17th. As a highly anticipated project, the launch of B² Network's Mainnet is worth close attention. This article summarizes the current main interaction opportunities of B² Network for reference.

1. Introduction to B² Network

B² Network is a modular Bitcoin Layer 2 solution. It pioneered B² Rollup and launched its Mainnet on April 17th. B² Network employs a unique commitment verification scheme that achieves Rollup verification on the Bitcoin Mainnet, which is a key issue that most BTC Layer 2 projects have yet to solve. B² Network standardizes this scheme and introduces a data availability solution to provide Rollup commitment verification services for other Layer 2 solutions on Bitcoin.

The core component of B² Network, B² Hub, plans to enhance security by integrating Bitcoin staking. Meanwhile, B² Network also plans to integrate BTC staking functionality in B² Rollup, supporting BTC LSD and re-staking scenarios. Currently, many BTC Rollup technical architectures in the market have drawn from B² Network's solutions. It is expected that more BTC Layer 2 projects focused on the application layer will adopt this solution in the future to efficiently achieve data availability.

The B² Network has undergone three versions of the testnet, with an overall test duration that is relatively long among BTC Layer2 projects, reflecting a high emphasis on chain performance. Currently, based on the experience, the B² Network demonstrates excellent stability and smoothness in BTC Layer2.

In terms of TVL, B² Network reached over 600 million dollars at its peak. The official confirmed that 5% of the tokens will be airdropped to staking users. B² Network closed the deposit entrance on March 12 to protect the earnings of early participating users.

In terms of ecosystem development, B² Network has been active. In January, it announced a million-dollar funding plan and has completed three rounds of funding. Several high-quality projects are already within the ecosystem, with a rich reserve of infrastructure and DeFi applications before the launch of the Mainnet.

Overall, B² Network has strong technical strength, a grand development vision, a solid background, robust construction capabilities, and steady development. As a currently popular BTC Layer2 project, it is worth paying attention to and participating in.

2. Interaction List

According to the rules published by the official, the currently available activities are mainly divided into two categories: B² Discovery and B² Buzz. Among them, B² Discovery does not involve asset interaction, while B² Buzz is related to assets. The official has clarified that 30% of the tokens will be distributed to users through B² Buzz, including a 5% share for previous staking users. Although B² Discovery has not specified the airdrop ratio, it has also confirmed that there will be token rewards.

1. B² Buzz

B² Buzz covers activities related to assets and on-chain, including but not limited to bridging, Runes events, staking alliances, Bitcoin expansion network activities, etc. The official confirmation indicates that 30% of the tokens will be released to users through Buzz, with bridging activities accounting for 0.5%.

Bridging Guide:

The available bridges include:

• Particle Network Official Bridge: Supports BTC Transfers
• Meson.Fi: supports Wbtc, ETH, USDT, USDC transfers
• Owlto Finance: supports multi-chain asset transfers, such as ETH, BNB, ARB, etc.
• OmniBTC: Supports asset conversion across 22+ chains

Taking the official bridge as an example, users only need to fill in the transfer amount of BTC and connect the corresponding wallet to complete the bridging. Instant arrival can be enjoyed from the EVM chain to B².

It is worth noting that Meson has launched a cross-bridge incentive program. By bridging $1000 through Meson from most chains, you can earn 100 points, equivalent to receiving dual rewards from both Meson and B². The gas fee for bridging from BNB Chain to B² is less than 0.1U.

Other bridges are also launching incentive programs, and users can receive at least double rewards.
