BBank debuts on ThunderCore, claiming a 54,545% surge in three days
According to figures released by its promoter, a token that started at 0.00022 TT is trading at 0.12 TT three days later. This is the claim made by Burbuja Finance, a decentralized exchange built on the ThunderCore network, which states it connects more than twenty chains—including Bitcoin—via a single bridge. The announced total supply is one million units. The project presents itself, initially, as a preview: a bridge, an exchange, a credit card, and Bitcoin futures under one roof.
What is Burbuja Finance and which network does it run on?
The infrastructure relies on ThunderCore, a network with identifier ChainID 108 and an RPC node at mainnet-rpc.thundercore.com. Its native token is Thunder Token (TT), and the project documentation distinguishes between the mainnet and testnet. The listing of the network token refers to CoinMarketCap, and the initiative also appears cataloged on DappRadar.
The proposal includes an exchange, a bridge named Burbuja Finance Bridge, a credit card, and Bitcoin futures hosted at beta.burbujafinance.tk. The interface of the parent site is located at burbujafinance.tk. None of this is a bank, although the token's name plays on appearing to be one.
A bridge connecting over twenty networks, including Bitcoin
The central piece is the multi-chain bridge. The list of supported networks starts with Ethereum and Bitcoin, trinc by Binance Smart Chain, the legacy Binance Chain, Heco, Arbitrum, Polygon, Polkadot, OEC, ThunderCore itself, Tron, Fantom, Klaytn, Avalanche C-Chain, Solana, Terra, XDC, XRP, CRU, EOS, BNB, Kusama, and IOST. The promise: send an asset on one network and receive it on another.
The project lead summarizes it without hesitation: "you can swap any tokens you want between networks... there is even BITCOIN." The business logic is easy to sell but complicated to audit: the more chains connected, the larger the surface area for something to break along the way. That is likely the true technical risk of the matter.
From 'calopez' to BBank: how the token was named
Before existing, the token needed a name. There were three formal proposals on the table: Burbuja Bank (BBank), Burbuja Finance Bank (BFB), and Burbuja Finance (BBF). Around them, a string of whimsical ideas: calopez, latunes, lonchafina, or chorticoins. One of these even came with its own exchange rate: one calopez equaled 1,000,000 chortinas. It was also suggested to rename the satoshi.
In the end, the most sober option won, BBank, although the process made clear the tone with which the invention was born: an inside joke that ended up in a block explorer.
The launch and the surge that cannot withstand a sale
The promised deadline was January 6. The token finally launched on January 27, 2022, at 17:57. The recorded opening price: 0.00022 TT. Three days later, the chart showed 0.12 TT, an increase of 54,545% announced alongside 48 active wallets and a completed x10, according to figures shared in the thread.
The problem, pointed out bluntly by a user, is liquidity. Such a percentage only holds as long as no one sells: a ten-euro order is enough to crash the quote, because the market lacks the depth to absorb it. The increase reflects the last closed trade, not what someone would get if they actually tried to exit the token.
0% for marketing and a deflationary policy
The economic design refuses to reserve funds for promotion: zero. The promoter justifies this with "we know each other," and those who want fish will have to get wet. On the table remained the other decisions: whether the token will be deflationary, with decreasing issuance; how many units to issue; and with what rule to distribute them among holders.
The final supply was set at one million BBank. The declared inspiration for the model is another token with 200,000 users, and the bet was that the mix would work. No one explained, however, what happens if the fish don't get wet.
Can contracts be changed without losing credibility?
One of the most technical questions points to the heart of the matter: an immutable smart contract ages poorly, but an upgradable one concentrates power in whoever signs it. The technique exists—proxy contracts allow modifying logic without changing the address—and the risk is fruta: whoever can rewrite the rules can twist them.
The doubt remained without a conclusive answer, and it is not a minor issue. There is no standard recipe for evolving a contract without the market reading it as a backdoor, nor are there many projects that announce beforehand that they will touch their own code. In this case, the contracts are presented as pre-audited.
The background weighing on the project
There is accumulated memory. Those skeptical of the launch cite a previous token, EMD, which, according to one message, never got listed, and the trail of a prior attempt, latuncoin, as a reason for caution. In the thread, the project was accused of repeating the pattern of a scam, and the concerns pointed to the same sequence: promise, fundraising, and then silence.
Against this, the promoter's argument is that the network is cheap, the bridge works, and there is no rush. The transfer, he says, doesn't reach two cents. That is what he maintains. The rest, not yet.
With one million units and 48 active wallets, a token has plenty of room to rise in the rankings and very little to support an orderly exit. If the bridge between twenty chains works as promised, there will be product and not just a percentage. If not, there will be another pretty number hanging in a block explorer. Liquidity will ultimately decide which of the two things it is.
