In early September 2024, the mainnet of the fractal bitcoin project, led by the Unisat team, was officially launched. The project’s token is abbreviated as FB. For BTC miners, you can adjust your ASICs to simultaneously harvest FB, which can be understood as mining BTC with a bonus of FB. This will bring additional income to miners at no cost, just like using the ANTMINER L9 which can also mine LTC and Dogecoin simultaneously. You can also choose to have your miner solely mine FB.
Fractal is an innovative technology based on the Bitcoin core code, and its token FB is expected to have a total issuance of 210 million coins, with 50% of the coins already mined in advance for project operations. The remaining coins also use the SHA256 algorithm, theoretically mining 3 blocks every 30 seconds, one of which is merged mining, supporting miners to harvest FB while mining BTC. The other two blocks require solo mining, where solo refers to the machine’s hashpower being used only for mining FB, not BTC. The daily output of FB mined through merged mining is no less than 24,000 coins, and no less than 48,000 coins are mined through solo mining.
Currently, the market price of FB is around 25 USD per coin. Below, we calculate the FB revenue per EH of hashpower every 10 minutes, assuming the BTC network hashpower is 660 EH and the FB merged mining hashpower is 220 EH:
Assuming a block reward of 5 FB coins, a coin price of 25 USD, a merged mining hashpower of 220 EH, and a solo mining hashpower of 30 EH, then (25+5)*25*(600/30)/(220*1/3+30*2/3) ≈ 160 USD/EH/10 minutes.
The above data is relatively conservative in estimation and will fluctuate in actual application. For example, the FB network hashpower and difficulty are continuously increasing, as no BTC miner wants to miss out on the opportunity to mine BTC with a bonus of FB. However, perhaps due to the short time since FB’s launch, many mining pools around the world have not yet had the chance to connect to FB. Antpool and f2pool have already connected to FB, and f2pool’s official spokesperson has publicly stated that this approach can bring additional benefits to miners. Additionally, the block time does not currently need to be 30 seconds; sometimes blocks are mined in just 10 seconds, so the actual mining quantity may be much higher than the theoretical amount. The coin price is also quite volatile, with the market price once approaching 40 USD per coin.
