Website: Fractal Bitcoin
Fractal Bitcoin is the only Bitcoin scaling solution that uses the Bitcoin Core code itself to recursively scale unlimited layers on top of the world’s most-secure and -held blockchain.
It is the first instance of a virtualization methodology applied to Bitcoin in the world. Fractal gradually extends the Bitcoin blockchain into a scalable computing system without breaking consistency with the Bitcoin main chain.
With strong tooling and support, building on Fractal is straightforward.
The following are developer notes on how to build Bitcoin Core on your native platform. They are not complete guides, but include notes on the necessary libraries, compile flags, etc.
