9 Things We're Grateful For: A Letter from the Fractal Core Contributor Team
Dear Fractal Community,
As we reflect on the incredible journey since our mainnet launch, we – Lorenzo, Spencer, and the entire core contributor team at UniSat and BlockSpaceForce – wanted to take a moment to share what we're most grateful for. The past three months have been nothing short of extraordinary, and it's all thanks to you.
1. Our Humble, Action-Oriented Community
We're deeply grateful for a community that embodies the values we hold dear. You've shown that great things happen when people come together with humility, focus on taking action, and support each other. From helping newcomers to providing thoughtful feedback, you've built a culture that makes us proud every day.
2. The Developers Building on Fractal
To all the builders who chose to experiment and create on Fractal: your innovation inspires us. From applications to new protocols to NFTs, you've shown that Fractal’s potential is limitless. Your dedication to building practical solutions while maintaining Bitcoin's core principles is exactly what we hoped to enable.
3. The Bitcoin Miners Who Believed in Our Vision
When we introduced Cadence Mining, we knew we were asking miners to try something new. The fact that ~60% of Bitcoin's hash rate now merged-mines Fractal is beyond what we imagined. Thank you for believing in our approach to scaling Bitcoin and for securing our network.
4. The Teams Building Infrastructure
To the teams working on bridges, wallets, explorers, and other critical infrastructure: your work is the foundation that makes everything else possible. Thank you for your rigorous attention to detail and commitment to security.
5. Our Partnership with UniSat & OKX
The seamless integration with UniSat has been crucial in making Fractal accessible to everyday users. We're grateful for this collaboration that allows people to interact with Fractal using familiar tools and interfaces.
6. Our Ground-Up Growth with Friends
We're thankful that our growth has been entirely organic and word-of-mouth. We haven't paid for promotions or partnerships because we believe in letting our technology and community speak for themselves. Your genuine enthusiasm and support mean everything to us.
7. The Bitcoin Community's Support
As a Bitcoin-focused project, we're grateful for the engagement from the broader Bitcoin community. Your feedback and encouragement have helped us stay true to Bitcoin's principles while pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
8. Potato 🥔
Sometimes the best things happen unexpectedly. Our community-grown mascot, Potato, represents everything we love about Fractal – creativity, fun, and organic growth. What started as a playful idea is steadily becoming a beloved symbol of our ecosystem. Thank you for bringing this charming character to life. Let Fractal Grow!
9. The Small Moments
Finally, we're grateful for all the small moments that make this journey special — the late-night Space sessions, the excitement when someone makes their first transfer on Fractal, the hustle of solving issues that arise, the memes in our Discord, and the passionate technical discussions that drive us forward. We are loving every moment of it!
Looking ahead to 2025, we remain committed to our values: staying humble, focusing on action rather than hype, and always putting our community first. We're just getting started, and we couldn't ask for better companions on this journey.
With deep gratitude,
Lorenzo, Spencer, and the Fractal Core Contributors
P.S. Fractal Potato says thank you too! 🥔✨
