THE LAST RELIC on BTX
A personal statement

37,777 relics claimed.
This was the first and the last artifact drop BTX L1 ever carried.
I want to be straight about where things stand, what we learned, and what happens to your relic.

WHERE YOUR RELIC IS
13,236 relics are on chain. 24,541 are still in the forge, sending as you read this.

The mint was built to stop at block 165,000, where BTX PR #88 turns the chain money-only, and artifacts become impossible by consensus. We are past block 165,300 and that update still has not landed. It should have arrived 8 to 9 hours ago. So we keep sending, slower and on purpose, out of respect for the chain.

IF YOURS DOES NOT MAKE IT IN TIME
You are not losing anything. We hold all 37,777 addresses.
The BTX airdrop is still yours. When the softfork lands, the BTX from that Airdrop will still go to your address. That promise does not depend on the relic arriving first.
Your relic is recorded either way. Once artifacts are cut from L1, nobody can mint them there, including me. Artifacts continue on the EVX, the BTX Layer 2, and every address that claimed will be recognised there. I will not put a date on that, because the L2 timeline is not mine to schedule and I would rather give you the truth than a date. What I control is the list, and it is safe.
Nobody who showed up gets left behind. That is the commitment.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY LEARNED
The artifact data is tiny. 52 bytes in an OP_RETURN. Literally nothing! But a BTX transaction is not. Around 3,769 bytes of every mint is the ML-DSA post-quantum signature. That is 95% of the transaction. The artifact is a rounding error. The signature is the weight.

That lesson is specific to BTX. On a post-quantum chain every transaction is heavy by design. That is the price of one of the strongest security standards in crypto and on our planet, and it is worth paying. But it means mass minting behaves nothing like ordinals on Bitcoin. The data always fit. The point is that quantum-safe signatures make every transaction expensive, so block space is precious, and it belongs to money.
BTX is a liquidity chain. MatMul-powered, quantum-secure, built to move value. It is not made for artifacts at scale. After running this at full force, I can say that with data, not opinion.
The core developers get a full report: block capacity, fee behaviour, where the real ceilings sit, what broke and why. That report is worth more to BTX than the drop was.

TO THE MINERS AND THE CORE COMMUNITY
I know many of you did not like this. The mempool was full, and your transactions were slow. That is real, and I am sorry for the hours of delay it cost you.
Some context, then I stop. This was my own money and my own fees. We paid four times the going rate, capped ourselves to leave room in every block, and never touched consensus. No harm was intended. I love BTX for its tech, and I pioneered it inside bonuz over other chains that paid to be there, because I did not rate theirs.
Raising fees fixed the congestion immediately. Today's bonuz update raised our fees from 1 to 4 sat too, so every transaction now lands in the first row and confirms fast. We learn, we fix, we improve. Always!

To everyone who backed me through this, publicly and privately: thank you. I felt it.

WHAT IS NEXT
Enjoy PQ Wallet and @bonuzmarket , both are heavily audited. Safety before usability, always. Want to mine? @EasyBTX keeps it simple via a pool.

One heads-up: the MatMul v4 upgrade could land any day, so expect a few slow days while miners readjust.

The best BTX links: btx.best

ONE MORE THING
BTX is decentralized. It does not belong to me or to any group. Start your own community, build your own tools, run your own node. That is how this should work. Fall in love with it, like I did :)

This is a long-term project, not a few-month trade hype.
I believe that BTX becomes the liquidity standard of the world and a serious alternative to Bitcoin.
If you were part of this drop, you are early. Congratulations. Go deeper, keep learning, stay safe, and always do your own research.

Thank you.
Mende

the last AirDROP Artifact that BTX will ever mint.
Every drop has free BTX sealed inside.

100 BTX is going out. Free! One drop per wallet.

The Last Relic is the final artifact that can exist on BTX Layer 1. When miners adopt the next core release, the chain stops accepting new artifacts. Permanently. Not by policy, by consensus. This will happen in 30hours, and then it's OVER!

Every relic carries real BTX inside it, 0.0011 to 0.0066 BTX dealt at random, bonded to the artifact itself.

After the update, these become the only assets on BTX L1 that are soulbound by consensus law.
Minting dies. Transfers die. What you hold is what you hold forever, and the set can never grow again. You can FORGE your NAME into it too! Free!

BTX is post-quantum. These relics are signed with ML-DSA-44, so the proof of who issued them survives a quantum computer.

The clock is real

It seals at block 165,000. Around 1,790 blocks left, roughly 44 hours, and it ends sooner the moment miners upgrade. There is no extension. The chain decides.

Free. One per wallet. Then never again.
