ChainCatcher news, according to official sources, Fractal Bitcoin has officially opened two native staking pools, Triple Gem and Whale, with a total staking limit of 2.5 million FB.The newly launched "Triple Gem Pool" and "Whale Pool" are designed with differentiation based on the existing tiered yield model to meet the needs of users of different scales. The Triple Gem Pool technically achieves concurrent use of multiple yield accelerations, allowing users to simultaneously activate three gain gem yield acceleration modes, increasing the usage limit compared to conventional solutions. This pool has a time-limited mechanism and will close on November 5. The Whale Pool is primarily aimed at large staking demands, raising the single address staking limit to 200,000 FB.Fractal Bitcoin's iteration of this event continues its technical route based on the Taproot protocol, further enhancing the diversity of yield structures while maintaining user asset self-custody. It is reported that the opening of the staking pools coincides with new opportunities to acquire its yield acceleration tools. Users can access the event page to obtain additional gain tools, strategically using these tools in staking to gain extra yield boosts, allowing the overall annualized yield rate to reach up to 49.8%. This staking plan does not set a lock-up period, supporting full or partial unstaking at any time.

ChainCatcher news, Udi Wertheimer, the advocate of OP_CAT and co-founder of Taproot Wizards, announced the upcoming launch of a new Bitcoin-native token protocol called CATNIP, based on OP_CAT recursive contracts.CATNIP allows the market to execute partial fill orders, enabling users to purchase the desired amount of tokens without needing to pre-split UTXOs. It allows for bidding, where users can specify that they want to buy a certain amount of CATNIP at a specific BTC price, and then let one or more sellers complete the transaction. As a result, the protocol will even allow for on-chain L1 AMM and liquidity pools. Due to Bitcoin's slow blocks and other issues related to transaction relay strategies, Udi believes that L1 AMM will not provide a good experience, but CATNIP will also allow for fast and secure off-chain AMM (for example, using CatVM).It is reported that CATNIP is under development and testing, and the team will launch the protocol when OP_CAT goes live on the Bitcoin mainnet.

Taproot Wizards launched the Quantum Cat Ordinals series in February to promote OP_CAT. In April, Taproot Wizards released a white paper outlining a framework for building applications using OP_CAT.
