According to BlockBeats, the Bitcoin Lightning Network, co-initiated by Nubit, has launched the 'Bitcoin Alpha' task system, which is now open to all Bitcoin network users. Early participants have the opportunity to earn a tenfold increase in task points.
Earlier this month, the Trump family's crypto project, WLFI, integrated its stablecoin USD1 into the Bitcoin Lightning Network. This integration has facilitated 4 million Bitcoin transactions on the network, with over 250,000 unique users.
The Lightning Network, currently the only native acceleration solution and stablecoin circulation channel for the Bitcoin network, aims to promote the development of Bitcoin ecosystem projects through the Bitcoin Alpha initiative. It encourages users to accumulate Alpha points by participating in Bitcoin network activities.
The first phase of Bitcoin Alpha has already received project applications from over 50 teams. By leveraging the faster payment and programming capabilities provided by the Bitcoin Lightning Network, the Bitcoin ecosystem is poised for its most significant growth in 12 years.
Previously, on April 15, HSBC's official news disclosed that the Bitcoin Lightning Network introduced UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT instructions through a mainnet soft fork. This supports the issuance of native assets on-chain, accelerates transactions, and enables smart verification, with network efficiency reportedly increasing by 1000–2000 times compared to the original chain. This network was proposed by early Bitcoin miners, core developers, and the Nubit team.
