BOT Chain mainnet launch countdown: Can the modular algorithm network break the ten-year dilemma of public chains?

The BOT Chain team announced today that its mainnet will officially launch in the first quarter of 2026. Unlike the endless stream of "Ethereum killers" or "Solana challengers" over the past decade, BOT Chain has chosen a technology path that has never been validated—modular algorithm networks. Its goal is not to create a "faster and cheaper" chain, but to fundamentally reconstruct the production relationship of public chains: to increase development efficiency by 90%, to eliminate the need for hard forks in iterations, and to return value capture to the real growth of the network.

As this news is released, Web3 stands on the threshold of a massive application explosion, while the tsunami of computing power brought by AI is posing unprecedented challenges to the underlying infrastructure. The narrative of public chains over the past decade—faster TPS, lower Gas, more compatible EVM—seems pale and outdated in the face of this tsunami.

The emergence of BOT Chain may be that variable.

From Fee Market to Protocol Infrastructure: Changes in Layer 1 Competition Logic

Over the past decade, the economic model of mainstream Layer 1 public chains has mainly revolved around transaction fees.

Smart contract platforms represented by Ethereum have formed a fee market through the Gas mechanism. With limited block capacity, users bid for transaction priority through fees, and network revenue is highly correlated with on-chain activity. This model has been repeatedly validated during the DeFi and NFT cycles.

However, as application complexity increases, its structural problems gradually become apparent:

• Network value is more reflected in the execution and settlement layer.

• Protocol development still requires a lot of underlying engineering work.

• There is a lack of deeper structural synergy between public chains and applications.

The focus of industry competition has begun to shift from "performance parameters" to "architectural capabilities."

In this context, BOT Chain proposes a three-layer decoupled architecture:

• Structural Core Layer responsible for consensus and state management.

• Verifiable Execution Layer optimizing computation scheduling mechanisms.

• Modular Protocol Layer abstracting common protocol capabilities into standardized components.

Its core idea is not merely to pursue throughput but to reduce the complexity of protocol construction and improve development efficiency.

If early public chains emphasized transaction processing capabilities, then the competition in the new phase is shifting towards protocol generation and architectural reuse capabilities.

The narrative of Layer 1 is transitioning from the fee market to protocol infrastructure.

Technical Differentiation: AI Agent On-Chain Identity + PoS/DePIN Dual Mining

In terms of technological innovation, BOT Chain has established unique differentiated advantages in two directions:

First, native support for AI Agents. Through its self-developed AIDID identity protocol, AI agents are no longer "tools" off-chain but truly become "residents" on-chain—possessing independent accounts, credit weights, and value settlement capabilities, able to autonomously pay Gas fees, participate in governance voting, and automatically allocate profits. When millions of AI agents interact autonomously on-chain, Web3 will evolve from a "network of people" to a "symbiotic network of people and machines, and machines and machines."

Second, PoS and DePIN dual mining. Verification nodes can simultaneously participate in staking and hardware contributions (GPU/CPU/storage), receiving dual rewards. This design deeply binds network consensus security with real computing power—nodes are both guardians of the network and providers of computing power, allowing security incentives to return to the real economy.

It is worth noting that BOT Chain has reached a deep strategic cooperation with the NIX Foundation in Sweden. As a top technology investment institution in Europe, NIX's global layout in decentralized computing power will achieve underlying integration with BOT Chain. This means that in the future, the rights confirmation, scheduling, and value settlement of distributed computing resources worldwide will be carried by BOT Chain—BOT Chain is becoming the "core settlement layer" connecting global computing supply and demand.

AI needs computing power, computing power needs incentives, and incentives need on-chain identities. BOT Chain builds a true infrastructure for the next era of Web3 with three major differentiations.

Institutional Endorsement: $15 Million Strategic Financing Secured

The early investor lineup of BOT Chain has emerged. The project has confirmed that it has received a total of $15 million in strategic investments from three institutions:

• NIX Foundation: A national technology fund in Sweden, leading with a multi-million dollar investment, bringing deep resource connections from the European academic and industrial sectors, as well as strategic layouts in the next generation of decentralized computing power.

• Alpha Capital: A leading crypto fund in the Middle East, managing over $100 million in assets, with a portfolio that includes KuCoin, Coinbase Global, Bybit, and others.

• Gemhead Capital: A community-driven VC, with over 80% of past invested projects landing on top exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and Gate.io.

In terms of security construction, BOT Chain has passed the CertiK audit and established a long-term vulnerability disclosure and reward mechanism, continuously promoting security testing and risk assessment through the HackenProof platform.

Roadmap: Mainnet Launch in Q1 2026, Clear Ecological Goals

According to the roadmap, BOT Chain's development is divided into three phases:

Short-term (2026-2027): Mainnet launch, deployment of 21 super nodes + 72 light verification nodes, release of the first batch of DeFi/NFT/AI Agent modules, with a target of over 10,000 ecological protocols by the end of 2026, aiming for 500,000 daily active users and listing on mainstream exchanges.

Mid-term (2028-2030): Achieve dynamic TPS expansion to 500,000, full implementation of zero-knowledge proofs, transition from semi-autonomous to fully autonomous DAOs, with a target of 30,000 ecological protocols, over 4 million daily active users, and an annual transaction total exceeding $800 billion.

Long-term (2031 and beyond): Evolve into a global Web3 operating system, supporting over 1 billion users, becoming the underlying protocol layer connecting the real world and the digital world.

Industry Observation: Modular Public Chains Welcome a New Variable, Web3's "Android Moment" is Approaching

Over the past five years, the growth logic of the public chain ecosystem has been singular: waiting for a blockbuster. Everyone has been betting on the next Axie or the next Uniswap, as if innovation could only rely on the overnight success of genius projects.

BOT Chain offers another possibility.

Its core logic is not "waiting," but "empowering." When DeFi, NFT, and AI Agents are packaged into standardized modules, and protocol development is shortened from months to hours, a brand new picture is unfolding: the future of Web3 will no longer be a playground for a few elites, but a co-creation of millions of "protocol workers." Just as the Android system enabled hundreds of millions of developers worldwide to participate in mobile internet innovation.

When the threshold is lowered sufficiently, innovation transforms from a "scarce resource" into a "mass movement." When millions of developers and AI agents interact autonomously on-chain, and global computing power flows freely through the DePIN network, Web3 will usher in a true "big bang" moment.

The modular public chain track welcomes a new variable. But the true significance of this variable is not another technically superior public chain, but that Web3 has finally awaited its "Android moment"—the power of innovation no longer belongs to a few, but to everyone.

About BOT Chain

BOT Chain is a foundational public chain born for large-scale applications in Web3.

It adopts a modular three-layer architecture: the structural core layer is responsible for consensus security, the verifiable execution layer is equipped with a self-developed VPC parallel engine, and the modular protocol layer encapsulates core functions such as DeFi, NFT, and AI Agents into standardized components, allowing developers to innovate without writing smart contracts from scratch.

BOT Chain is committed to becoming a truly usable Web3 infrastructure—enabling low-cost innovation for developers, allowing AI agents to operate autonomously, and returning value capture to the real growth of the network. The project has secured $15 million in strategic investment from the NIX Foundation, Alpha Capital, and Gemhead Capital, completed a security audit by CertiK, and will launch its mainnet in the first quarter of 2026.
