The relationship between TBC and BTC

TBC is a public chain developed based on the Bitcoin (BTC) ecosystem, with the core positioning of inheriting the advantages of BTC and addressing its limitations. The relationship between the two is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Inheritance of the Core Mechanism
TBC retains the underlying technical architecture of BTC to ensure network stability and security, specifically including:
- UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) model: Adopts a transaction accounting mechanism that is completely consistent with BTC, ensuring the consistency of asset circulation logic.
- PoW (Proof of Work) consensus mechanism: Adopts the consensus algorithm of BTC to maintain the decentralized characteristics and anti-attack capabilities of the network.
2. Direct connection between technology and assets
TBC has established a close connection with BTC in terms of technology and assets, specifically manifested as:
- Adopting the same address format and technical architecture as BTC, lowering the threshold for BTC users to migrate and use TBC.
- Supports 1:1 mapping and exchange of BTC assets: BTC can be mapped as the corresponding asset on the TBC chain, enabling direct circulation of BTC-related assets within the TBC ecosystem.
3. Complementary functionality improvement
TBC makes up for the key functional shortcomings of BTC:
- BTC itself lacks native smart contract capabilities, which limits its application scenarios. In contrast, TBC inherits the advantages of BTC while adding smart contract functionality, enhancing the flexibility of the ecosystem and supporting more complex digital asset applications (such as decentralized finance, asset management, etc.).
In summary, TBC is not a substitute for BTC, but a Layer-1 public chain that is deeply integrated with BTC—it retains the core advantages of BTC while expanding its application boundaries, aiming to create new value and use cases for Bitcoin.
