Bitcoin Everlight has confirmed that its public presale has entered Phase 2 with BTCL now priced at $0.0010 per token — up from the Phase 1 price of $0.0008 — as participant activations continue across all three shard tiers ahead of the network's mainnet launch.

Why it matters

Bitcoin Everlight is a blockchain validation network designed to allow participants to earn Bitcoin rewards through its shard activation system without operating technical infrastructure directly. The platform's structured presale rollout and transition to mainnet BTC reward distribution represents a novel approach to decentralized finance.

The details

Phase 2 is now active with BTCL available at $0.0010 per token, with a minimum entry of $50 accepted across more than nine cryptocurrencies. As a participant's cumulative USD commitment crosses a tier threshold, their shard activates automatically based on the value at the time of purchase, with BTCL rewards beginning to distribute immediately from that moment. The Azure Shard activates at a $500 commitment, the Violet Shard at $1,500, and the Radiant Shard at $3,000, with up to 12%, 20%, and 28% APY respectively during the presale period.

  • Bitcoin Everlight's Phase 2 presale launched on March 22, 2026.

What they’re saying

“Phase 2 represents the next pricing stage in Bitcoin Everlight's structured presale rollout. Participants activating shards during this phase begin earning BTCL immediately and carry that position directly into the mainnet BTC reward phase at current pricing — before the next phase adjustment moves the token price higher.”

— Michael G. Dennehy, Spokesperson

What’s next

Bitcoin Everlight is building toward a mainnet launch that transitions shard holders from fixed presale BTCL rewards to performance-based BTC distribution from live network activity.

The takeaway

Bitcoin Everlight's structured presale and transition to mainnet BTC reward distribution represents a novel approach to decentralized finance, allowing participants to earn Bitcoin rewards without directly operating technical infrastructure.
