The BOT Chain mainnet officially launched on February 25, 2026. In today’s crowded public chain space, with Layer 2 solutions constantly emerging, this new player, which focuses on a “modular algorithm network,” has quickly become a market focus thanks to its initial $15 million funding round and the simultaneous deployment of five core infrastructure components. What is its strategic intent? What are its technical strengths? Alexander Ververis, co-founder and CTO of BOT Chain, recently gave an exclusive interview to the media, elaborating on the underlying logic of the modular public chain and the future vision of hashrate assetization.
Q: The mainnet launch is the first milestone for BOT Chain. In your view, what is currently most lacking in the public chain space?
Alexander: I believe the biggest lack is “adaptability.” Current public chains, whether Ethereum or Solana, are like fixed-size shipping containers—developers must cram their applications into this container, regardless of whether the application is a heavy-duty truck or a bicycle. This “one-size-fits-all” model might have sufficed during DeFi Summer, but in the era of AI, when applications have wildly different demands for computing power, latency, and storage, it completely fails.
The modular architecture of BOT Chain is essentially doing one thing: turning the shipping container into Lego bricks. You can freely combine consensus, execution, and storage modules, and even upgrade a single module without affecting the others. This means a high-frequency trading DEX can choose the fastest execution module, an AI training protocol can choose a dedicated computing module, and a storage-type application can choose the cheapest storage module. Developers are no longer bound by the chain; instead, the chain must serve the developers.
Q: The concept of modularity isn’t new; Polkadot and Cosmos are doing similar things. What is BOT Chain’s differentiator?
Alexander: The key lies in achieving “protocol-layer modularity.” BOT Chain is a modular algorithm public chain whose underlying protocol is composed of pluggable algorithm modules. When building applications on BOT Chain, developers can flexibly select and combine algorithm modules for data availability, execution environment, and more, based on their business scenario, without needing to launch a separate chain or rely on an external coordination chain, as is required in other modular solutions. This design retains the high efficiency and interoperability of a single chain while giving applications the algorithmic flexibility of customization.
Q: The simultaneous launch of the five major infrastructures (Main Chain, Explorer, BDEX, Cross-chain Bridge, BO Wallet) is very rare in the industry. Why take such a “heavy” approach?
Alexander: Because we are not just building a chain; we are building an “ecosystem.” Anyone can create a standalone explorer or wallet, but seamlessly integrating them to form a complete, closed-loop user experience is the hardest part.
The Main Chain is responsible for transaction settlement and consensus security, BDEX enables the discovery and pricing of protocol assets, the Cross-chain Bridge opens up liquidity access to mainstream ecosystems, the on-chain Explorer provides full-process auditable transparency, and the BO Wallet serves as the user’s unified interaction interface. The five modules each perform their duties, forming a complete closed loop: from protocol development/access, computing power scheduling, task execution, to final settlement, all steps are seamlessly connected.
Our goal is to lower the barrier to entry for Web3. Developers don’t need to worry about which node is running the underlying layer; they only need to see two things: lower costs than centralized cloud services and a simpler experience than traditional chains. Only when the infrastructure is sufficiently adaptable and easy to use can decentralized computing power truly serve the needs of the AI era.
Q: What major moves will BOT Chain have at the Hong Kong Conference in March and TOKEN2049 in Dubai in April?
Alexander: These two events represent a critical leap for BOT Chain, transitioning from infrastructure construction to a full-scale ecosystem launch. We are moving fast because the window of opportunity waits for no one.
The Hong Kong Global Consensus Conference at the end of March is the dedication ceremony for our “Core Nodes” and BOT Chain’s first global appearance after the mainnet launch. Hong Kong, as a super hub connecting traditional finance and the Asian crypto market, is where we will complete the first batch of core node deployments. These nodes are composed of top global verification institutions, mining pools, and communities, and they will be deeply involved in ecosystem governance and regional market expansion. The message we want to convey at the thousand-person consensus conference is clear: BOT Chain’s node network is a global layout that is already live. On-site, we will publicly showcase real transaction data from the BDEX and real-time interaction between the Cross-chain Bridge and the Ethereum and Solana ecosystems, making the operating status of the modular public chain perceptible and verifiable, showing everyone that this chain is already running.
TOKEN2049 in Dubai at the end of April will be our “Ecosystem Launch Ceremony” for global developers. Dubai is a hub for Web3 innovation in the Middle East and globally, and a frontier for the integration of AI and blockchain. There, we will officially announce the launch of a $50 million Ecosystem Support Program and publish the specific application channels and review standards for the fund. The funding will focus on three major tracks—AI, DePIN, and protocols to support the technical development, node docking, and market launch of early-stage projects. The significance of Dubai is the commencement kicking off a sustained effort and opening a channel for deep connection with global developers. Our goal is clear: through the continuous operation of the fund, we aim to attract tens of thousands of projects to join the ecosystem, select hundreds of high-quality projects for focused support from the massive innovation, and ultimately help a batch of these projects grow into influential leading applications.
From Hong Kong to Dubai, from solidifying the foundation to initiating construction—BOT Chain is using its own pace to tell the market: We are ready, and we will run fast.
Q: Regarding BOT Chain’s economic model, how does the dual mechanism of burning and staking support long-term value?
Alexander: We have designed a dual engine of “deflation + equity.” First, the transaction fees generated by every transaction on the network (including trades, cross-chain transfers, etc.) will be allocated according to clear ratios: 50% will be directly burned, creating continuous deflationary pressure; 30% will be injected into the Ecosystem Fund to support developer incentives and ecosystem construction; and 20% will be rewarded to nodes to ensure network stability. Second, nodes, projects, and developers are required to stake BOT to participate in the network, which locks up a large amount of circulating supply. More importantly, future trading fees on the BDEX will be distributed proportionally to stakers, which is equivalent to letting all token holders share in the growth dividends of the BOT Chain economy.
Our goal is clear: to make the BOT token the value anchor for the AI computing power economy. By the end of 2026, if BOT Chain can support 10,000 protocol instances, the valuation model for BOT will no longer be merely that of a public chain token, but the “digital oil” of the global computing power market.
Q: Finally, what would you like to say to the market?
Alexander: I want to say that the next decade of Web3 does not belong to a single chain, but to an underlying network that can truly serve the real economy and lower the barrier to innovation. BOT Chain has just started, but we believe the combination of modularity and computing power is the right path to that future. We welcome all developers, miners, and users to join this computing power revolution.
About BOT Chain
BOT Chain is a modular base layer public chain born for large-scale Web3 applications. Its unique three-layer architecture the Structural Core ensures consensus security, the Verifiable Execution Layer features a self-developed VPC parallel engine to achieve ten thousand-level TPS, and the Modular Protocol Layer encapsulates core functionalities like DeFi, NFT, and AI Agent as standard components allows developers to quickly deploy applications without having to write contracts from scratch. The five major infrastructures launched simultaneously with the mainnet (Main Chain, BDEX Exchange, Cross-chain Bridge, Explorer, and BO Wallet) form a complete public chain network closed loop. The project has completed a $15 million funding round led by the NIX Foundation, Alpha Capital, and others, passed the CertiK security audit, and the mainnet launched in the first quarter of 2026, aiming to become the “manufacturing factory” for Web3 protocols and the underlying computing power scheduling system for the AI era.
