Grow Bitcoin Mainnet User Guide

Introduction

Grow Bitcoin is an ecosystem acceleration platform that focuses on connecting the Bitcoin users and stakers to the projects. Grow Bitcoin is operated by the Rooch Network team.

As a Bitcoin staker or user, you get to earn BitXP as well as the project XP by voting for the projects you like, with your Bitcoin as the stake but without having to move your Bitcoin at all.

As a Bitcoin project builder, you are free to list your project on the Grow Bitcoin platform and get attentions from potential Bitcoin users; users will endorse your project with their votes and with more votes you get to earn BitXP as well!

Connect wallet

Click the Connect Wallet button to connect to the Bitcoin wallet, taking the UniSat wallet as an example for subsequent interactions.

Click the Connect button to authorize.

Claim RGas

Method 1

Make sure you have UTXOs in your Bitcoin wallet, no matter how many.

Rooch provides the mainnet RGas faucet in the Portal. Each new Bitcoin address can claim RGas once. You can Claim your RGas at this URL:

After Claim, you will receive 1 ~ 3 RGas, which can be viewed through the Account page.

Method 2

If you have no UTXO, that is, no BTC balance, then you can bind the X (original Twitter) account in Rooch Portal (opens in a new tab) and get 3 RGas.

For the specific process, please refer to the Setting page of Portal (opens in a new tab). The working principle is to copy the tweet content to X (original Twitter). After successfully sending, copy the link of the tweet, paste it into the box, click Verify and bind Twitter account button and sign the transaction to bind successfully. Check your Account page at this time and you should be able to see a balance of 3 Rgas.

Method 3

Invite other users to obtain Rgas invitation benefits. For details, please refer to the Invitation page (opens in a new tab) in the Portal.

  • You can click Copy Invite Link to directly send the invitation link to your friend and ask him to bind the X account. While he gets RGas, you will also get RGas share of the income.
    • Your friend will get 1 ~ 3 RGas based on the balance of BTC in the wallet. The more BTC means you will have a greater chance of getting 3 RGas.
    • And you will receive 5 RGas and a lottery ticket, which can be viewed by clicking the Lottery Tickets button.
  • You can also click the Invite With Twitter button to send your invitation post to X. As long as other users bind X through the link in your post, you can also get RGas share revenue (same as above).

Interaction

Vote for projects and get XP

We click Projects to enter the page for voting for Bitcoin ecological projects.

Choose a project you like or that can bring you value, vote for it, and earn BitXP.

Taking the UniSat wallet as an example, enter the project details page. Your GROW balance will be displayed here. I invested 500 GROW for UniSat.

Clicking the Vote button will consume 500 GROW and obtain the same amount of BitXP.

At this point, enter the My Portfolio page and you will be able to see the XP you have earned.
