🪄How BitBolt Layer 2 works

BitBolt Architecture

BitBolt is a Bitcoin Layer 2 network based on the Proof of Stake (POS) consensus algorithm. By integrating a Bitcoin adaptor bridge within the network layer, BitBolt achieves real-time interaction with the BTC network and ensures compatibility with the Ordinals ecosystem. This approach opens more opportunities for the BTC network.

BitBolt Network Blockchain Data

• A single block on the BitBolt network has a size of 4MB, and each block can carry a maximum of 1000 transactions (Tx).

• The BitBolt network uses a Proof of Stake (POS) consensus algorithm and generates blocks at a rate of one every 2 seconds. The final confirmation rate is 2 blocks, which means that transactions on the BitBolt network can achieve faster transaction speeds and confirmation times when transferring Bitcoin.

Three Types of Nodes in the BitBolt Network

• Edge Node Cluster: This cluster handles off-chain requests, passes messages to the consensus node cluster, and retrieves data from the consensus nodes.

• Consensus Node Cluster: This cluster validates, orders, and reaches consensus on requests passed to it from the edge nodes in the BitBolt network.

• Adaptor Node Cluster: This cluster facilitates message transmission between the BitBolt network and the Bitcoin network. It sends Bitcoin withdrawal requests from the BitBolt network to Bitcoin full nodes and retrieves current Bitcoin blockchain data from Bitcoin full nodes.

The Adaptor Node Cluster reaches consensus on the Bitcoin data it retrieves and passes the consensus data to the BitBolt consensus nodes to assist in reaching consensus.
