Leveraging the Strengths of Both Networks

Ethereum, with its mature ecosystem, powers a wide range of decentralized applications (DApps), especially in decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFT marketplaces. However, its scalability limitations, including high gas fees and network congestion, hinder its full potential, especially during periods of heavy activity. While Ethereum has made progress through Layer 2 solutions, it still struggles to provide low-cost, high-speed transactions on its base layer.

Fractal Bitcoin, on the other hand, is designed to tackle scalability with its 30-second block times, recursive layering structure, and lower transaction fees. By connecting Ethereum’s advanced smart contract capabilities with Fractal Bitcoin’s speed and efficiency, Fractalink allows users to transfer liquidity between the chains, ensuring that both can be leveraged to their full potential. For instance, users can move Ethereum's ERC-20 tokens onto Fractal Bitcoin to take advantage of faster transaction speeds and lower fees, while still benefiting from Ethereum’s established DeFi infrastructure​.
