Overview
- Everlight operates alongside Bitcoin without changing its protocol, positioning Bitcoin as the settlement layer while it handles fast transaction routing.
- Transactions are processed by staked BTCL node operators who earn routing micro-fees based on uptime and performance metrics inside localized clusters.
- Confirmations use quorum-based validation for near-second finality, with optional batching that can be anchored back to Bitcoin for verifiable references.
- BTCL has a fixed 21 billion supply with 45% for a 20-stage presale, 20% for node rewards, 15% for liquidity, 10% for the team under cliff and vesting, and 10% for ecosystem and treasury.
- The presale is in Stage 2 at $0.0010 with 20% unlocking at token generation and the rest vesting over six to nine months, backed by SpyWolf and SolidProof audits and KYC checks by SpyWolf and Vital Block.
