Bitcoin Lightning Network Opens Thunderbolt Station Reservation, Institutions and Eligible Users Can Lock in First Round Earnings Limit
BlockBeats News, July 7th. According to official sources, the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network, led by early Bitcoin Core developers and the Nubit team, officially opened its Thunderbolt Station today to reserve channels. In the first phase, the tsUSD token is officially launched, supporting institutions and eligible users to reserve network construction capacity and participate in mainnet rewards distribution.
The station will be opened in three phases. Currently, users can lock in future construction capacity through the tsUSD token, reserve support for BTC, USD1, and BRC-20, Runes, and other Taproot script assets as payment methods. This marks the first time Bitcoin native assets have been used in a mainnet infrastructure participation scenario.
According to insiders, several institutions, family offices, and investment institutions have confirmed their participation, with the first round of total interest expected to exceed $1 billion. The developer community is also exploring around Thunderbolt Station, including innovative directions such as composite asset design, on-chain liquidity pools, and Bitcoin-native structured products. This mechanism is seen as a milestone event for the formal transition of the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network ecosystem to an open infrastructure collaboration stage.
As the only protocol currently on the Bitcoin mainnet that supports native acceleration and stablecoin settlement, the Thunderbolt Network has processed over 4 million on-chain transactions in its first two months online, with a user base exceeding 267,000. Previously, the Trump family's crypto project WLFI had its stablecoin USD1 integrated into the Thunderbolt Network, becoming one of the first native settlement assets.
Furthermore, according to news from April 15th, HSBC Bank revealed that the Bitcoin Thunderbolt Network has introduced UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT instructions through a mainnet soft fork, supporting native asset issuance and high-frequency transaction validation, with on-chain processing efficiency improved by 1000–2000 times compared to the Bitcoin main chain. The Thunderbolt Network's Bitcoin Alpha task system has received project applications from over 50 teams in the first phase, leveraging the Lightning Network to provide faster payments and programmability, ushering in the largest period of prosperity in the Bitcoin ecosystem in 12 years.
