Bitcoin Raiden Network opens Thunderbolt Station for reservation, institutions and qualified users can lock in the first round of profit quotas.

On July 2, the Bitcoin Raiden Network, led by early Bitcoin core developers and the Nubit team, officially opened the Thunderbolt Station reservation channel today. The first phase of the $tsUSD voucher has officially launched, allowing institutions and qualified users to reserve network construction quotas and participate in Mainnet profit distribution. The station will gradually open in three phases. Currently, users can lock in future construction quotas through the $tsUSD voucher, reserving support for BTC, USD1, and BRC-20, Runes, and other Taproot inscription assets as payment methods. This marks the first time Bitcoin native assets are used for Mainnet infrastructure participation scenarios. According to insiders, multiple institutions, family offices, and investment firms have confirmed participation, with the initial round of accumulated interest exceeding $1 billion. The developer community is also exploring innovations around the Thunderbolt Station, including asset combination design, on-chain liquidity pools, and Bitcoin native structured products. This mechanism is seen as a landmark event signaling the Bitcoin Raiden Network ecosystem's official move towards an open infrastructure collaboration phase. As the only protocol currently supporting native acceleration and stablecoin settlement on the Bitcoin Mainnet, the Raiden Network has processed over 4 million on-chain transactions within two months since its launch, with the number of unique users surpassing 267,000. Previously, the Trump family's crypto project WLFI had integrated its stablecoin USD1 into the Raiden Network, making it one of the first native settlement assets. Additionally, according to news from April 15, HSBC revealed that the Bitcoin Raiden Network has introduced UTXO Bundling and OP_CAT instructions through a Mainnet Soft Fork, supporting native asset issuance and high-frequency trading verification, with on-chain processing efficiency improved by 1000–2000 times compared to the Bitcoin mainchain. The Raiden Network task system Bitcoin Alpha Phase One has received project applications from over 50 teams. With the faster payment and programming capabilities provided by the Bitcoin Raiden Network, the Bitcoin ecosystem is about to welcome the largest boom in 12 years.
