Bitcoin Raiden Network opens Thunderbolt Station reservation, institutions and qualified users can lock in the first round of profit quotas.

On July 7, according to official news, the Bitcoin Raiden Network, led by early Bitcoin core developers and the Nubit team, officially opened the Thunderbolt Station reservation channel today. In the first phase, the tsUSD certificate is officially launched, supporting institutions and qualified users to reserve network construction quotas and participate in Mainnet revenue distribution. The station will be opened in three phases. Currently, users can lock in future construction quotas through the tsUSD certificate, reserving support for BTC, USD1, and BRC-20, Runes, and other Taproot inscription assets as payment methods. This marks the first time that Bitcoin native assets are used in Mainnet infrastructure participation scenarios. According to sources, several institutions, family offices, and investment firms have confirmed their participation, with the first round of cumulative interest expected to exceed $1 billion. The developer community is also exploring around Thunderbolt Station, including innovative directions such as asset combination design, on-chain liquidity pools, and Bitcoin native structured products. This mechanism is seen as a landmark event marking the Bitcoin Raiden Network ecosystem's official move towards an open infrastructure collaboration stage. As the only protocol currently supporting native acceleration and stablecoin settlement on the Bitcoin Mainnet, the Raiden Network has processed over 4 million on-chain transactions in two months, with the number of independent users exceeding 267,000. Previously, the Trump family's crypto project WLFI has integrated its stablecoin USD1 into the Raiden Network, becoming one of the first native settlement assets. Additionally, according to previous news on April 15, HSBC disclosed that the Bitcoin Raiden Network has introduced UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT instructions through a Mainnet Soft Fork, supporting native asset issuance and high-frequency trading verification, with on-chain processing efficiency improved by 1000-2000 times compared to the Bitcoin mainchain. The Bitcoin Alpha task system's first phase has received project applications from over 50 teams, and with the faster payment and programming capabilities provided by the Bitcoin Raiden Network, the Bitcoin ecosystem is about to welcome the biggest boom in 12 years.
