MetaCene will log in to the Bitcoin Raiden Network, MAK price surges over 50%
On July 17, affected by the news that a certain trading platform will launch MetaCene (MAK), MAK rose by more than 50% within 24 hours.
On July 16, according to official news, the Bitcoin Lightning Network task system Bitcoin Alpha will launch MetaCene (MAK) on July 18. Eligible contributors can go to the Bitcoin Lightning Network after it opens to receive airdrops according to the Alpha points ranking. Specific details will be announced separately.
As the only native acceleration solution and the only stablecoin circulation channel on the Bitcoin mainnet, the Bitcoin Lightning Network has processed over 5 million on-chain transactions within two months of its launch, with station deposit pre-sales exceeding 900 million dollars. Its task system, Bitcoin Alpha, encourages users to accumulate Alpha points by participating in Bitcoin network activities.
Previously, the Trump family crypto project WLFI has integrated its stablecoin USD1 with the Lightning Network, becoming one of the first native settlement assets. Additionally, according to HSBC, the Bitcoin Lightning Network has introduced UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT commands through a soft fork on the mainnet, supporting the issuance of native assets and high-frequency trading verification, with on-chain processing efficiency improved by 1000–2000 times compared to the Bitcoin main chain.
