Fractal Bitcoin has proposed a standardized index service to be included in the block reward system

Fractal Bitcoin has released the FIP-101 proposal for a standardized data indexing service, aimed at introducing a set of standardized data indexing services maintained by core contributors, open-source, and operable without permission for Fractal, with plans to incorporate it into the Fractal block reward system.

This proposal was drafted by the Fractal core contributor UniSat team and has now entered the community discussion phase. According to the proposal, the standardized indexing service will feature fully open-source and permissionless operation. This service will unify the parsing methods and output structures of different protocols, covering various protocol types such as inscriptions, tokens, and custom metadata.

On the incentive side, the proposal suggests adjusting the block reward distribution structure, changing the current joint mining: free mining (1:2) output ratio to a joint mining: free mining: data indexing (1:1:1) equal division model. It also introduces a non-custodial staking mechanism based on Taproot scripts, allowing users to stake FB tokens to a specific indexing service instance and receive corresponding rewards.
