A community-owned, mineable, deflationary blockchain with native NFTs, staking, a two-way Arbitrum bridge, and a bonding-curve memecoin platform.
No premine. No VC. No gatekeepers. Everyone starts at block zero.
LBTC is a Proof-of-Work blockchain built for the people who arrived late to Bitcoin and never stopped thinking about it.
Bitcoin launched in 2009. Most of us heard about it years later, watched the price climb, and quietly accepted that we'd missed the ground floor. LBTC is a fresh start — same founding principles, a modern feature set, and a fair launch where everyone begins at block zero.
Since genesis, the network has grown to include:
CPU-mineable PoW. No ASICs required. Every block reward goes to whoever finds the next hash.
Early stake unlocks, NFT transactions, and memecoin launches permanently burn LBTC. Supply only ever goes down from here.
Mint, trade, and redeem NFTs directly on the base chain. No smart contracts, no gas wars, no layer-2 tax.
Yield comes from real app revenue — not inflation, not promises. If usage is zero, yield is zero.
Lock LBTC on the base chain, mint wLBTC on Arbitrum. Or burn wLBTC to get native LBTC back. Live since September 2026.
Launch a coin in 60 seconds. Instant liquidity, creator royalties, NFT minting on top of any coin. Built on the chain's own economy.
Latecomers are priced out, patronized, and left out. Existing crypto projects solve this by launching another token that the founders already own.
Five rules that don't bend, no matter what the price does.
Every LBTC in existence was mined by someone running the software. No founder allocation, no treasury reserve, no venture round.
The mainnet genesis block rewards the first miner with the same 50 LBTC as block one million. No VIP round. No presale discount.
Everything documented here is already live on testnet. The bridge runs 24/7. The memecoin platform has real coins. The wallet encrypts real keys.
21M hard cap, and multiple mechanisms remove LBTC from circulation permanently. Deflation isn't a feature — it's structural.
No KYC to mine, no permission to mint, no approval to bridge, no whitelist to launch a coin. The chain is open.
A Proof-of-Work blockchain designed to be mined by ordinary hardware, not just industrial farms.
Every ~3 minutes, a miner somewhere on the network finds a SHA-256 hash that meets the current difficulty target. That block is broadcast to peers, verified by every node, and added to the chain. The miner earns 50 LBTC plus all fees paid by transactions in that block.
Difficulty re-targets every 5 blocks to keep block production near the 3-minute target. The adjustment window is short by design — the network reacts quickly to hashrate changes so block times stay predictable.
| Parameter | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Block time target | 180 sec | Roughly 3 minutes |
| Difficulty window | 5 blocks | Fast retarget |
| Adjustment cap | 0.05× – 2.0× | Never more than 2× up per window |
| Hash algorithm | SHA-256 | Same family as Bitcoin |
| Mempool cap | 500 txs | Oldest evicted when full |
| Max txs per block | 50 | Prevents bloat |
21 million LBTC. Fixed supply, halving every 210,000 blocks, no exceptions.
Like Bitcoin, LBTC has a hard cap of 21 million coins. Block rewards start at 50 LBTC and halve every 210,000 blocks. The final LBTC will be mined sometime in the next century.
| Era | Blocks | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Era 1 | 0 – 210,000 | 50 LBTC | Launch era |
| Era 2 | 210,000 – 420,000 | 25 LBTC | First halving |
| Era 3 | 420,000 – 630,000 | 12.5 LBTC | |
| Era 4 | 630,000 – 840,000 | 6.25 LBTC | |
| Era 5+ | 840,000+ | 3.125 → 0 | Continues halving |
Every transaction on LBTC costs 0.0001 LBTC in network fees. Fees go straight to miners, alongside the block reward.
Unlike most modern chains, LBTC does not inflate to fund anything. Miners receive the full block reward plus all transaction fees. Application-layer fees flow through the treasury system described in Section 9.
| Action | Chain Fee | App Fee | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Send LBTC | 0.0001 LBTC | — | 0.0001 LBTC |
| Mint NFT (Common) | 0.0001 LBTC | 10.00 LBTC | 10.0001 LBTC |
| Mint NFT (Legendary) | 0.0001 LBTC | 200.00 LBTC | 200.0001 LBTC |
| Transfer NFT | 0.0001 LBTC | 1.00 LBTC | 1.0001 LBTC |
| Launch memecoin | 0.0001 LBTC | 5,000 LBTC | 5,000.0001 LBTC |
| Memecoin buy / sell | 0.0001 LBTC | 1.00% | 1.0001% |
| Bridge OUT to Arbitrum | 0.0001 LBTC | 1.00% | 1.0001% |
LBTC's supply doesn't just stop growing — it shrinks. Every major app-layer action removes LBTC from circulation, permanently.
There are five paths that burn LBTC, and three that feed a permanent reserve that never gets distributed:
10% of every app-layer fee, plus 500 LBTC from every memecoin launch, flows into the permanent reserve — an address that is never distributed to anyone. It exists as a permanent backing layer for the chain.
NFTs on LBTC are not smart contracts. They are first-class objects on the base chain — minted, owned, transferred, and redeemed without leaving the ledger.
Every NFT has a name, description, image URL, rarity tier, and an escrow balance that sits in a dedicated on-chain address. When you redeem an NFT, the escrow balance returns to you automatically and the NFT is marked BURNED — but stays visible forever on the explorer.
| Rarity | Mint Cost | Escrow (refundable) | Treasury | Reserve |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 10 LBTC | 7.20 LBTC | 1.80 LBTC | 1.00 LBTC |
| Rare | 25 LBTC | 18.00 LBTC | 4.50 LBTC | 2.50 LBTC |
| Epic | 100 LBTC | 72.00 LBTC | 18.00 LBTC | 10.00 LBTC |
| Legendary | 200 LBTC | 144.00 LBTC | 36.00 LBTC | 20.00 LBTC |
Stakers don't earn from inflation. They earn from real application-layer revenue — and the payment is verifiable on-chain.
All app-layer fees flow into a treasury address that distributes to stakers every 20 blocks. Longer locks receive a bigger share.
| Pool | Lock | Weight | Min Stake | Early Unlock Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LBTC-30D | 30 days | 1.0× | 10 LBTC | 5 LBTC |
| LBTC-60D | 60 days | 1.5× | 10 LBTC | 5 LBTC |
| LBTC-90D | 90 days | 2.5× | 10 LBTC | 5 LBTC |
Any wallet can propose. Any wallet can vote. Vote weight equals LBTC balance at the time of voting.
Governance on LBTC is intentionally simple. There are no delegated councils, no multi-sig override, no founder veto. Proposals are created directly on-chain, voting lasts 7 days, and the results are public.
Any address with a positive LBTC balance can submit a proposal with a title, description, and voting options.
Your vote weight equals your LBTC balance at the moment you cast it. No lockups, no delegation, no vote buying.
Every proposal runs for exactly 7 days. No early closure, no extension, no manipulation of the timeline.
Every proposal and vote is recorded on-chain with a transaction hash. Anyone can audit the outcome.

Launch a memecoin in 60 seconds. Instant liquidity, creator royalties, NFT minting on top of any coin. Built on a bonding curve.
Launching a memecoin costs 5,000 LBTC, split as:
Coin creators earn 0.20% of every trade, forever. Launch once, earn on every buy and sell for the lifetime of the coin. There is no cliff, no vesting, no clawback.
Every memecoin can have its own NFT collection. Minting costs 1,000 tokens of the coin itself — permanently burned. This gives each memecoin a second, scarcer asset class on top of the fungible token, and reduces the coin's supply with every mint.
The LBTC wallet runs entirely in your browser. Private keys are encrypted client-side, and the encryption never leaves your device.

No. LBTC is an independent Proof-of-Work chain that shares Bitcoin's design philosophy (21M cap, halving, SHA-256) but is written from scratch with a modern feature set — native NFTs, on-chain staking, and a memecoin platform built into the base layer.
Download the LBTC Wallet & Miner from the website, create or import a wallet, and click Start Mining. The miner runs on any modern laptop using CPU only. No ASIC, no mining pool, no permission required.
100% from real application-layer revenue — NFT mint fees, NFT transfer fees, marketplace commission, memecoin launch fees, and early-unlock fees. There is no inflation, no premine unlock, no fixed APR. If app usage is zero, stakers earn zero.
The bridge is a trusted relayer — a single operator verifies deposits and holds vault keys. This is the same model WBTC and Multichain use. Before mainnet, the bridge ownership migrates to a 3-of-5 multisig controlled by independent signers, with a full audit pending.
Every coin launches with 30 LBTC of virtual reserves and 1 billion tokens. The price is determined by the formula price = reserves / supply. Buying increases reserves and pushes the price up. Selling decreases reserves and pushes the price down. Every trade executes instantly at the current curve price — no order books, no waiting, no liquidity issues.
When a coin's real reserves reach 85 LBTC, it graduates. Graduated coins are eligible for DEX listings on Arbitrum via the bridge, and can be wrapped as w[SYMBOL] tokens. Graduation is a milestone, not a guarantee — most coins never get there.
October 1st, 2026. On launch day, the testnet chain is discarded and a fresh genesis block is mined. Everyone who participated in testnet will be able to claim a genesis allocation proportional to their testnet activity.
Run a full node on a VPS (see the Run a Node guide), mine LBTC with the desktop miner, launch a memecoin, mint NFTs, or join the Discord to help with development, design, or community growth. There is no formal team — the project belongs to whoever shows up.
