Fractal Bitcoin launches public beta of FIP-101, with index mining and non-custodial staking now officially open

Odaily reported that Fractal Bitcoin today announced the official launch of the public beta phase one of its Fractal standardized data indexing service, built on the FIP-101 proposal. With the beta now launched, users can participate in indexing mining through non-custodial staking and receive corresponding rewards according to their staked share. So far, more than 1.5 million FB have been staked in the public beta.

FIP-101 is a major upgrade by Fractal aimed at the data infrastructure layer. The proposal intends to introduce an open-source, permissionless, standardized data indexing service to the Fractal ecosystem, and to integrate the indexing service into the Fractal block reward system, thus making indexing infrastructure not just an external service but a component of the network incentive structure.

Fractal Bitcoin stated that the goal of FIP-101 is not simply to launch an indexing tool, but to establish a long-term sustainable, verifiable, and incentivizable data infrastructure for the Fractal ecosystem. With the introduction of indexing mining and non-custodial staking mechanisms, Fractal aims to further reduce developer construction costs while providing a clearer incentive path for infrastructure participants.
