Bitcoin Everlight, a blockchain project developing a transaction routing and validation network for the Bitcoin blockchain, has announced updates on its Phase 5 presale and ongoing network development. The project has raised over $3.1 million so far in the presale, with the BTCL token priced at $0.0016. Bitcoin Everlight is building a shard-based system to process transaction activity and distribute associated fees to participants, without modifying Bitcoin's underlying protocol.

Why it matters

The update from Bitcoin Everlight comes amid evolving regulatory discussions around stablecoins and yield-based digital asset products, which are expected to influence the operating environment for infrastructure-focused blockchain projects. Bitcoin Everlight's approach aims to coordinate node activity and fee distribution alongside the existing Bitcoin network.

The details

Bitcoin Everlight's Phase 5 presale offers four tiers of participation, starting at $10 and providing up to 25% APY in BTCL tokens during the presale period. The project has completed smart contract audits and team verification processes prior to the public launch. Approximately 45% of the fixed 21 billion BTCL token supply has been allocated to presale participants so far.
