Conflux announced its Bitcoin Layer 2 strategic roadmap on its official website. Bitcoin will be used as the "Gas token" of the new BTC L2 space for transaction fees calculated and paid within the network to improve the transaction efficiency of the Conflux network. The short-term goal is to establish a BTC staking mechanism and integrate basic functions of the Bitcoin protocol, such as Ordinals and Inscriptions. The mid-term goal is to enhance the network’s capabilities to support more complex interactions with the Bitcoin blockchain, including advanced smart contract functionality and improved asset bridging. The long-term vision is to build a fully interoperable ecosystem that seamlessly integrates with multiple blockchain networks to cultivate a diverse and efficient decentralized environment.
