On the evening of September 6th, Fractal Bitcoin announced an airdrop of FB tokens to eligible UniSat and OKX Wallet users. Participants could check their allocations via the UniSat Rewards Portal or OKX Rewards Dashboard. Qualified addresses could claim from both platforms, with tokens automatically distributed post-mainnet launch.
Key Airdrop Details:
- Total allocation: 1 million FB (0.47% of total supply)
- 500,000 FB each for UniSat and OKX Wallet users
As one of Bitcoin ecosystem's most anticipated projects, Fractal sparked intense community reactions. However, criticisms emerged:
- "Community allocation is barely 0.5% of total supply - too stingy!"
- "Loyal OG/Prime cardholders receive similar rewards as testnet participants"
- "New testnet addresses without mainnet balance excluded entirely"
- "Raised balance requirements disadvantage testnet farmers"
This article examines Fractal's tokenomics, airdrop mechanics, and secondary market activity.

Initial circulation remains low with daily mining output (~72,000 FB/10 days). Ecosystem demand could drive early price appreciation.
Airdrop Rules Explained
OKX Wallet Requirements:
- Base Reward (6.6 FB): Hold >$100 BTC on 9/1 + 3+ Ordinals/Runes trades in 6 months
- Bonus (30 FB): Top 5,000 OKX Web3 wallet activity ranks
UniSat Requirements (90-day snapshot):
- 5 FB: 0.001+ BTC trades OR 10+ UniSat points
- 10 FB: OG/Prime cards OR early BRC-20 swaps + 0.001 BTC mainnet/0.002 tFB testnet balance

Rule Change Alert: Mainnet/testnet balance requirements increased overnight, disqualifying many previously eligible addresses.
Secondary Market Activity
Current OTC prices range $5-$8/FB, implying $1B+ fully diluted valuation. Most users hold 10-40 FB across 1-2 addresses ($60-$240 potential value).

This airdrop functions more as a universal faucet than lavish handout, ensuring real users can participate in mainnet testing. It signals:
- Testnet farming may become less effective
- Major opportunities likely emerge post-mainnet
- Sustainable participation outweighs speculative interactions
