Fractal Bitcoin Releases Proposal for Standardized Indexing Service, Plans to Include in Block Reward System

ChainCatcher news, Fractal Bitcoin has released the FIP-101 standardized data indexing service proposal, aiming to introduce a set of standardized data indexing services for Fractal that are maintained by core contributors, open-source, and can be operated without permission. It is also planned to be incorporated into the Fractal block reward system.

This proposal was drafted by the Fractal core contributor UniSat team and has now entered the community discussion stage. According to the proposal, the standardized indexing service will feature full open-source and permissionless operation. The service will unify the parsing methods and output structures of different protocols, covering various protocol types such as inscription, token, and custom metadata.

On the incentive level, the proposal suggests adjusting the block reward distribution structure, changing the current merged mining: solo mining (1:2) output ratio to a three-way split of merged mining: solo mining: data indexing (1:1:1). At the same time, a non-custodial staking mechanism based on Taproot scripts will be introduced, allowing users to stake FB tokens to a specific indexing service instance and receive corresponding rewards.
