On April 17th, B² Network announced the official launch of the mainnet for ordinary users and gradually released a series of mainnet activities. As a leading BTC Layer2 project, B² Network's mainnet launch is a must, with a clear token airdrop. This article compiles the current interaction checklist for B² Network.
I. Introduction to B² Network
B² Network is a modular BTC Layer2 solution, which first launched its own B² Rollup and went live on the mainnet on April 17th. Based on a unique commitment verification scheme, B² Network can achieve Rollup verification on the Bitcoin mainnet, a key issue that most BTC Layer2 solutions have yet to solve— the inability to inherit the security of the Bitcoin mainnet. Therefore, B² Network has standardized this solution and introduced the DA solution to provide Rollup commitment verification on Bitcoin for other Layer2 solutions.
The core component of B² Network, B² Hub, will enhance its security by integrating Babylon's BTC staking. Additionally, B² Network plans to integrate BTC staking functionality into B² Rollup to support BTC LSD and BTC re-staking scenarios. Many of the technical architectures of BTC Rollup solutions on the market are derived from B² Network's technical solutions. In the future, it is believed that many strong BTC Layer2 projects in terms of application layer construction will adopt this solution to efficiently implement their own data availability.
Based on current experience, it is the most stable and smooth among BTC Layer2 solutions. B² previously released three versions of the testnet, making it one of the longer-running testnets in the BTC Layer2 space, demonstrating a strong emphasis on chain performance.
B² Network's investors have a strong background, including HashKey, OKX, Shuidi, ABCDE, Kucoin, IDG, Antalpha, and others.
B² Network's TVL peaked at over 600 million USD, and the official confirmation is that 5% of the tokens will be airdropped to staking users. Unlike other staking projects, B² closed deposits on March 12th, ensuring the participation and earnings of users.
B² is currently the most diverse ecosystem in the BTC Layer2 space. In January, it announced a million-dollar Grant program and has already distributed funding for three rounds. The ecosystem includes many high-quality projects, and there is a rich reserve of applications within the infrastructure and DeFi categories even before the mainnet launch, demonstrating ample preparation for the mainnet.
B²'s development is very stable, and the team has steadily achieved most of its goals and roadmap since its establishment. It is a team with strong capabilities in implementing web3, and it is believed that with further development, it is bound to experience a major breakthrough.
In summary, B² Network is characterized by strong technology, a grand narrative, a strong background, the ability to continue building, and stable development. As one of the currently highly anticipated projects in the BTC Layer2 space, it is worth exploring.
II. Interaction Checklist
According to the official rules, there are currently two main categories of interactions. One is B² Discovery, which does not require assets for interaction, and the other is B² Buzz, which is asset-related. The official announcement states that 30% of the tokens will be released to users through B² Buzz, including the 5% from the early deposits. B² Discovery only mentioned an airdrop, without specifying the amount.
1. B² Buzz
B² Buzz is an activity plan related to assets and the chain, including but not limited to bridging, Runes activities, staking alliances, and Bitcoin network expansion activities. The official announcement confirms that 30% of the tokens will be released to users through Buzz, with 0.5% specifically allocated to bridging activities.
Bridging Guide:
① Currently, the officially announced and endorsed bridges include:
Official bridge Particle Network: https://bsquared.network/bridge/ for BTC transfers
Other bridges such as Meson.Fi: https://meson.fi/ for Wbtc, ETH, USDT, USDC transfers
Owlto Finance: https://owlto.finance/?to=Bsquared supports multiple chains, including ETH, BNB, ARB, and more
OmniBTC: https://app.omnibtc.finance/swap?fromChain=merlin&fromToken=BTC&toChain=bsquared&toToken=BTC supports conversion for 22+ chains, seamlessly linking EVM's WBTC to Layer2
Mini Bridge: https://minibridge.chaineye.tools/
Bool Network: https://bsquared.boolbridge.com/
② Using the official bridge as an example: Enter the amount of BTC you want to transfer, and bridge using the corresponding wallet mentioned above. Transfers from EVM chains to B² can enjoy instant confirmation.
Meson has already synchronized incentives for cross-bridging. For most chain bridges on Meson, transferring $1000 can earn 100 points, meaning that by using Meson to bridge to B², users can receive dual rewards from Meson and B². The gas fee for bridging from BNBChain to B² is less than 0.1U.
Other bridges will also synchronize incentive plans, with at least double rewards.
③ The official details of how bridging activities correspond to token airdrops have not been announced. Users can bridge a portion of their assets on a regular basis to balance hash rates and maintain a certain level of funds.
2. B² Discovery
B² Discovery currently has a total of 7 activities, with 4 already underway. The specific guidelines are as follows:
① Explore the B² ecosystem with Okapi (Okapi)
Open https://app.okapi.xyz/chain/b2_network and click on any project (e.g., B² Network).
You will be redirected to the page for writing a review. Select wallet login in the top right corner, and you will be redirected to your personal page.
- Choose Campaign: B² Ecosystem Discovery. Follow the requirements to connect Discord and Twitter, complete the tasks, and click "Check completion" to qualify for minting NFT on the B² mainnet, which has already started minting.
Mint link: https://app.okapi.xyz/user/my-badges
- On the My badge page of Okapi, click "Update My Okapi Reputation Vault" to connect with B² Network for minting.
It is important to note that this minting process requires BTC payment for gas fees. You can deposit a small amount of BTC into your account using the official bridge or another bridge in advance, allowing you to participate in Okapi and receive rewards from future bridge activities.
Additionally, on your personal page in Okapi Drops, you can see that many B² ecosystem projects have set up lotteries with relatively easy-to-meet requirements. You can upgrade by completing tasks in the bottom right corner of Okapi (if you are at level 0, simply connecting your social media account will allow you to level up) and engage in more interactions to increase your Degon Score, meeting the conditions for receiving drops. (Please note that for first-time users, due to Okapi's anti-bot system, you need to complete tasks to reach level 1 before starting interactions.)
- Co-create BTC GPT (Flock.io)
To promote knowledge about BTC, B² and FLock jointly launched the BTC GPT co-creation activity. Users who complete the activity will have their addresses whitelisted within 24 hours, allowing them to go to LayerCraft to mint the B² x FLock Badge. This activity is worth participating in because FLock is a high-quality project in the AI field that has not yet issued tokens. It has received $6 million in funding from OKX, Faction, DCG, and other projects. The founding team has backgrounds from Oxford, IDG, and many other well-known institutions, and they are airdropping tokens to interactive users. Therefore, completing this co-creation activity allows you to benefit in three ways: Flock points, Flock and B² NFTs, and rewards from the B² Bridge activity.
Open https://beta.flock.io/model/cls3bm1yf00017drv1rv2p137 and select wallet login in the top right corner.
Choose "points," and engage in a conversation with the BTC model to earn 100 points.
Contributing to tasks can also earn you 100 points: The project provides three examples, and you can upload BTC-related knowledge documents, links, or simply write text. It's a simple process, with each piece of information earning 10 points, and a maximum of 100 points per day.
Additionally, completing other social media tasks can also earn points.
Finally, the link for minting NFTs: https://www.layercraft.co/launchpad/
- Runes Ecosystem Activity (Nat Jaguar)
Nat Jaguar is the first runic project on B², and it has linked many runic projects with B² to launch the runic activity, which has a total of $666,666. Participants can also mint a special badge if they win. These will serve as future airdrop vouchers.
Post any form of content related to runes or B² (to have a chance to win, it's probably best to create a video or image content) and include #RuneSparkle, @BSquaredNetwork, and @Nat_Jaguar. The official statement says that as long as you participate, you can receive a badge and future Rune airdrops. The top 10% of participants can also receive additional badges and B² tokens from B². I've summarized the scoring system for everyone: 1 point for likes, 2 points for comments, and 3 points for retweets. If you want to improve your ranking, you can ask your friends to retweet more, or you can create impressive content to get noticed by the official account. This project is also a zero-cost opportunity, so everyone can participate!
Transitioning Users from Web2 to Web3 (UXlink)
Similar to the Okapi activity, users can enter UXLink and complete simple tasks to share 2049 U and receive UXUT and whitelist status. On May 2nd, whitelisted users can mint NFTs.
Visit the activity page: https://dapp.uxlink.io/discover/detail?id=1779158074653667348
Complete the tasks.
Wait until May 2nd to mint NFTs.
- Other On-Chain Interactions
Recently, various B² ecosystem projects have been deployed. Here are some reliable ones, but this list may not be exhaustive, and more will be added in the future:
- GlowSwap: Normal swapping and providing liquidity
② Particle transfer, click on the Particle circle on the page: https://bsquared.network/bridge/
③ Minting and trading NFTs: https://www.layercraft.co/launchpad
④ Secondlive tasks: https://secondlive.world/bounty/general
