EMCD Fractal Bitcoin wallet
— One tap. All of crypto

Fractal Bitcoin (FB) is a scalable sidechain (Layer 2) of the Bitcoin network, officially launched on September 9, 2024. Built on the Bitcoin core, Fractal uses a unique recursive mechanism to enhance network speed, functionality, and scalability while remaining fully compatible with the broader Bitcoin ecosystem. FB offers an innovative solution for integrating modern technologies, including support for smart contracts and token standards such as Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20.OP_CAT smart contracts support as of 2025 is in testing stage.

Unlike traditional Bitcoin, where average block confirmation time is around 10 minutes, Fractal Bitcoin achieves an average block confirmation time below 30 seconds. This significantly improves the performance of applications, microtransactions, and DeFi services running on FB.

Fractal Bitcoin may appeal to:

• investors looking for fast, scalable Bitcoin-based solutions
• miners interested in earning rewards from two networks simultaneously using Cadence Mining
• DeFi projects that require high transaction speed and modern token support
• users actively engaged with BRC-20 and Ordinals

To store, receive, send, and swap FB, you'll need a compatible cryptocurrency wallet. In this guide, we’ll explain how to create a Fractal Bitcoin wallet and why the EMCD platform is a solid choice.

What Is an FB Wallet?

A Fractal Bitcoin wallet (FB wallet) is an application or online service that allows users to securely store, send, and receive FB coins, as well as manage tokens built on the Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 standards. To function properly, an FB wallet must support:

• interaction with the Fractal Bitcoin extension
• working with tokens and smart contracts using new opcodes

It’s important to note that not every Bitcoin wallet is compatible with Fractal Bitcoin. To use FB, Ordinals, and Runes tokens within the Fractal network, you need a wallet or service that officially supports the project.

Hot and Cold Wallets

FB wallets can be categorized as:

• Hot wallets – always connected to the internet, suitable for frequent transactions
• Cold wallets – store private keys offline, offering higher security for long-term coin storage

Based on key management, wallets can also be:

• Non-custodial – the user controls their own private keys
• Custodial – keys are stored on the service’s servers, simplifying access recovery but requiring trust in the platform
