“They forked the whole forest. So we forked them.”

Layer Two Labs clones the entire crypto forest onto Bitcoin — an Ethereum here, a Zcash there — and they do it all in the open, on GitHub. It's a beautiful thing to watch: a thousand altcoins, regrown as honest Bitcoin branches.

So we did the single most natural thing in all of nature. We forked them.

In a forest, a fork isn't theft. It's how one branch becomes two. Their open source was our seed; we're simply the next growth ring.

Bitcoin MOI mainnet + airdrop

5th november 2026

00:00 UTC · its own L1

Bitcoin MOI — what launches on the 5th

Its own L1 — a mainnet of its own, not a sidechain.
SHA-256 proof of work · 60-second blocks.
Built on a Bitcoin Core v31 base.
Drivechain (BIP300/301) in C++ — no Rust.
Mainnet 2026-11-05 00:00 UTC.
Airdrop to SkyDoge holders and Bitcoin holders, from a snapshot taken on both chains on October 31, 2026 — the 18th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin white paper; the exact heights are announced and hashed on bitcoin.moi before launch.

Two L1s, one sidechain between them PLANNED

Skydoge and Bitcoin MOI are two separate L1 chains. The plan: one sidechain — TWINLEAF — with a BIP300 slot on each of them — one sidechain, two pegs.

One sidechain node, two separate ledgers: SKY coins backed by Skydoge’s escrow and released only by a vote of Skydoge miners; MOI coins backed by Bitcoin MOI’s escrow and released only by a vote of MOI miners. A trade between the two is an atomic hashlock swap between the ledgers — never one mixed pool of both coins, so a reorg on one chain can never drain the other’s escrow.

Skydoge — our first L1: its own proof-of-work mainnet, running today (skydoge.net).
Bitcoin MOI — our second L1: genesis 2026-11-05 00:00 UTC, with the BIP300/301 drivechain on from launch (bitcoin.moi).
TWINLEAF — the link: one sidechain with a slot on each L1, a peg to Skydoge and a peg to Bitcoin MOI. Two pegs, two escrows, two ledgers in one node; holders of either coin can trade into the other by atomic swap. Planned, not scheduled: it follows the sidechain activation on Skydoge, which follows the testnet.

Why three chains THE IDEA

Bitcoin is the root. Skydoge and Bitcoin MOI are two separate L1 chains grown from its code, each with its own miners and its own coin. Three chains, three jobs.

01 · one root, two L1s

Bitcoin stays untouched

Bitcoin is the store of value and the reference everything else is measured against. Nothing we build changes it. Both of our chains start from Bitcoin Core code and run on their own: Skydoge is the older one, its own proof-of-work mainnet, running today. Bitcoin MOI is the new one — a Bitcoin Core v31 base, SHA-256, the BIP300/301 drivechain built in from genesis on 2026-11-05 — and its airdrop snapshot reads the Bitcoin and Skydoge ledgers as they are on October 31. Two L1s means an idea can go live on one without touching the other.

02 · where new things are tried

New rules go to Bitcoin MOI first

New consensus rules and new sidechain ideas are tried on Bitcoin MOI before anywhere else — on its testnet first, and only when they hold there on the MOI mainnet. MOI mainnet is real money from November 5, so nothing skips the testnet step. This is the order we work in, not a promise about any one feature.

03 · ASIC and GPU

Two proofs of work, two kinds of hardware

Bitcoin MOI uses SHA-256, the same function as Bitcoin, so it is mined by ASICs — including small home devices such as a Bitaxe. Skydoge uses a chained multi-hash proof of work (many different hash functions in sequence) that is mined with GPUs.

Different hardware brings different miners. Neither chain depends on one kind of machine, one vendor or one supply chain — no hardware monoculture, and a problem with one class of hardware cannot stop both.

04 · GPUs beyond mining

The GPU side is meant to do more than hash

A GPU is a general processor; an ASIC is not. The plan is to put the GPU side to other work over time: generating zero-knowledge proofs for sidechains that need them, and AI workloads. A direction we are building toward, not something running today.

05 · frontier · two pegs

Ideas that need both chains

Some sidechain ideas need more than one chain: proofs that take GPU time, or a peg that leans on the security of both L1s at once. TWINLEAF is the first of these — one sidechain with a BIP300 peg on Skydoge and a peg on Bitcoin MOI, so an idea can draw on either chain’s miners and coins. More in that direction later. Planned; nothing on a mainnet yet.

Every chain is a treeone leaf per block

Each tree is a chain: the trunk thickens with height, a leaf sprouts for every block, branches are its sidechains. Skydoge is old growth. Bitcoin MOI is a seed until genesis on 2026-11-05 00:00 UTC, then a sapling. the link is a dotted sapling with two roots, one into each tree. Hover or tap a tree.

leaf = a block · branch = a sidechain
dotted = planned · ○ sim · ● live

loading the grove…

This browser cannot draw a canvas; the picture is a forest of three trees: Skydoge (old growth, one leaf per block), Bitcoin MOI (a seed until genesis 2026-11-05 00:00 UTC) and the planned sidechain between them, a dotted sapling with a root into each tree.

Honest by construction. Skydoge shows ● live only while this page's own feed from explorer.skydoge.net is fresh; otherwise it says ○ sim · feed not loaded and its leaves tick on a timer. Bitcoin MOI has no feed here: a seed before genesis, a simulated sapling after. Dotted branches are planned sidechains, not live ones. Lite graphics or reduced motion draws one still frame; the scene pauses when it is scrolled out of view.
