Bitcoin Everlight launches BTCL presale for a Bitcoin-native routing and confirmation layer
Bitcoin Everlight proposes a parallel transaction-routing and fast-confirmation layer for Bitcoin that does not change Bitcoin’s base protocol. Targeting traders and payment use cases, Everlight routes transactions through a network of nodes that perform signature checks and quorum-based confirmations measured in seconds, while leaving Bitcoin as the final settlement layer. Operators must stake BTCL (14-day lock) to run Light, Core or Prime nodes; rewards (target base range 4–8% cited) come from routing micro-fees and are weighted by uptime, routing volume and quorum participation. BTCL has a fixed supply of 21,000,000,000 with allocations: 45% public presale (20 staged price points from $0.0008 to $0.0110), 20% node rewards, 15% liquidity, 10% team (vested) and 10% ecosystem/treasury. Presale tokens: 20% unlocked at token generation event, then linear vesting over 6–9 months; team tokens have a 12-month cliff and 24-month linear vesting. The project reports third‑party smart-contract and security audits (SpyWolf, SolidProof) and team KYC (SpyWolf, Vital Block). BTCL utility focuses on routing fees, node staking and optional Bitcoin anchoring. This is sponsored content and not investment advice.
Neutral
The news is neutral for BTCL price in the near term. Positive signals include a clear tokenomics framework, staged public presale, node staking model, and reported third‑party audits and KYC — factors that can attract early-speculative buyers and node operators. However, the project is presented as sponsored content, which typically limits credibility. Large presale allocations (45% public, but with staged pricing and initial unlocks) and relatively short linear vesting (6–9 months) plus team tokens with a defined cliff reduce some distribution risk but still create sell-pressure as unlocks occur. Technical claims (seconds‑level confirmations by quorum) improve product-market fit but will be tested in deployment and adoption; lack of on-chain mainnet performance data and dependency on node participation add execution risk. For traders: short-term volatility may rise around presale stages, token generation and unlock milestones; speculative demand could produce brief bullish spikes, but sustained upside requires adoption, demonstrated security, and controlled token unlocks. Thus, treat developments as neutral until live mainnet performance and on-chain liquidity/volume validate the protocol and token utility.
