Bitcoin has recently reached new highs. For investors who hold Bitcoin for the long term, their holding strategy usually remains unchanged regardless of market fluctuations. However, a new question arises: besides serving as a store of value, can Bitcoin provide holders with more active income?

As the activity level of the Bitcoin ecosystem increases, there is a growing demand for Bitcoin financial products in the market. Although many projects offer the opportunity to stake Bitcoin for token airdrops, such schemes often come with uncertainties and risks.

Against this backdrop, Nubit’s Lightning Network mainnet has launched Thunderbolt Station, providing Bitcoin holders with a new way to earn BTC using BTC. This method not only generates returns but also creates a positive cycle:

1. Boost Codes: Users can earn boost codes daily; the larger the amount deposited, the more codes generated.
2. Network Fee Sharing: By participating in maintaining the Bitcoin Thunderbolt network, users can earn a portion of the network fees as a reward.

Currently, Thunderbolt Station has achieved significant results:
- The mainnet transaction volume exceeded 4 million transactions
- Daily active users exceed 5,000
- Obtained over 379,000 lottery opportunities from 17,926 verified users through Boostpad.

For users interested in participating, you can follow these steps:

First, mint $tsUSD. For every 1 unit of equivalent asset, you can mint 1000 $tsUSD, and this amount represents the maximum amount that can be deposited in the second phase. The currently supported assets include:
- BTC and USD1 (Bitcoin Lightning Network)
- BTC (Bitcoin Mainnet)
- ORDI (BRC-20 token) and DOG (Rune token)
- USD1 (BNB Chain)

Next, connect your wallet and complete the deposit operation:
1. Click "start here"
2. Select the network and token in the Amount option.
3. Click "reserve" to complete the operation.

It is worth noting that after completing the first phase, users need to wait six days to enter the second phase. In the second phase, users can use the previously minted $tsUSD for deposits, with the maximum deposit amount equal to the quantity of $tsUSD minted in the first phase.

This new type of Bitcoin yield scheme offers holders a choice that allows them to maintain exposure to Bitcoin while also earning additional returns. However, participants should still carefully assess the associated risks and make informed investment decisions based on their individual circumstances.
