Fractal Bitcoin launched in September 2024 as a Bitcoin scaling layer that runs the Bitcoin protocol as a separate SHA-256 chain with ~30-second blocks. Some FB blocks can be merge-mined with Bitcoin and the rest must be mined directly.
Two ways to mine FB here: mine BTC on our Bitcoin ports and add an FB payout address to your wallet profile (free merge mining), or connect directly to the FB ports below for direct FB mining. See the Fractal Bitcoin direct dashboard.
x = pool (PPLNS), m=solo = solo (you keep the whole block). Or use the dedicated solo port.Minimum payout: 0.0001 FB.
