Fractal Bitco2026-09-08 08:46:51Fractal Bitcoin hits first halving at block 2,100,000 as FIP-102 goes liveFractal Bitcoin said in its latest post that the network completed its first halving at block height 2,100,000, with proposal FIP-102 activated at the same time. The team said network nodes and indexing services remained stable after the halving. Under FIP-102, FB distribution will expand beyond the Fractal network to the Bitcoin mainnet, opening a direct path for a broader group of Bitcoin users to obtain FB. After activation, the effective block reward on the Fractal side has been reduced to 6.25 FB, while another 6.25 FB issuance budget will be redirected to the Bitcoin mainnet. The project said the change does not increase FB’s total supply. On the Fractal side, merged mining, permissionless mining, and index mining will continue to split block rewards on a 1:1:1 basis. Fractal Bitcoin added that the detailed distribution mechanism for the Bitcoin mainnet will be defined in a later proposal, FIP-103, with a target launch in the first quarter of 2027.970
Fractal2026-08-08 11:46:02Fractal to Burn 4.1M FB at First Halving; UniSat Plans $1M PurchaseLorenzo, in a post on X, said Fractal will permanently burn a total of 4,101,541 FB when its first halving takes effect around September 9. That figure, which is over 4.1 million tokens, covers the remaining FIP-101 rewards, public testnet rewards that were not distributed, and the second-year ecosystem allocation. Fractal is scheduled to publish a draft FIP-102 proposal tomorrow. Under that proposal, 50% of the token issuance after halving would be reallocated to support native FB issuance on the Bitcoin mainnet. The block reward would then be cut to 6.25 FB, while total supply stays unchanged. FIP-103, a follow-up proposal, will define the exact distribution mechanism. Separately, UniSat said it plans to buy $200,000 of FB from the open market each month for five straight months after the halving. That would amount to $1 million in FB total, earmarked as a long-term strategic reserve and locked on-chain for at least five years.2190
