Title: BTCD Foundation Announces Launch of Layer 1 Blockchain and Public Testnet Minting Program

Panama, 10th Feb 2026 — The BTCD Foundation has announced the upcoming launch of its proprietary Layer 1 blockchain network, alongside a public Testnet minting program scheduled to begin on February 15, 2026. The initiative is designed to introduce a long-term blockchain infrastructure focused on scalability, decentralization, and ecosystem development.Unlike many blockchain projects that operate as tokens on existing networks, BTCD has been developed as an independent Layer 1 blockchain. The network is built using a hybrid Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) architecture, enabling faster transaction processing and network efficiency while maintaining decentralized validation.According to the Foundation, the BTCD network is designed to support sub-second transaction finality and high throughput capacity, making it suitable for a broad range of decentralized applications and financial services. By controlling its underlying infrastructure, the project aims to provide developers and users with a stable base layer for long-term innovation.Long-Term Network Design and Supply ModelThe BTCD blockchain follows a structured issuance model intended to support long-term sustainability. The network incorporates scheduled supply reductions approximately every 2.5 years, similar in concept to halving mechanisms used in other blockchain networks. This approach is designed to manage token issuance over an extended period while supporting network participation and growth.The Foundation has outlined a 25-year development and minting roadmap, emphasizing gradual ecosystem expansion rather than short-term market activity.Public Testnet Minting PhaseBeginning February 15, 2026, participants will be able to engage with the BTCD Testnet through a public minting program.
