$NB Tokenomics
Introduction
$NB is the native utility token that powers all interactions within the Nubit ecosystem and Bitcoin Thunderbolt protocol. It underpins instant, low‑fee Bitcoin transfers, programmable asset rails (like USD1), and on‑chain governance, creating the economic framework for a truly Bitcoin‑native Web3 economy.
Rooted in our mission of “Make Bitcoin the fastest, safest network for everyday crypto, while remaining 100% Bitcoin-native.” Bitcoin Thunderbolt was built to transform Bitcoin into a real‑time payment and programmability rail. What began as UTXO Bundling has evolved into a full-stack ecosystem, featuring instant micropayments, stablecoin rails, developer SDKs, and a vibrant global community. And $NB connects it all, from daily Boosting Code access to governance decisions.
$NB enables seamless value flow across users, integrators, validators, and governance participants, rewarding genuine contribution and long‑term stewardship of the protocol.
Core Token Utilities
Boosting Code Access Each $NB balance allocates daily Boosting Codes, one‑time passes that unlock instant, sub‑satoshi Bitcoin & stablecoins transfers for any compatible wallet. This ensures high‑impact users always have access to the fastest payment rails.
Service‑Fee Settlement Ecosystem partners (wallets, bridges, dApps) pay integration and usage fees in $NB. This creates continuous organic buy‑side pressure and aligns partner incentives with network growth.
Governance & Protocol Decisions $NB holders propose and vote on protocol upgrades, including fee parameter tweaks and new feature rollouts. On‑chain governance ensures Nubit evolves in step with community priorities.
Ecosystem Incentivization We allocate $NB to bootstrapping grants, hackathons, ambassador programs, and liquidity incentives. This rewards developers, researchers, and community builders who drive real‑world adoption and technical innovation.
