About
The original Bigcoin project, conceived by its pseudonymous founder “Bigtoshi,” was built as a bold homage to Bitcoin: a fixed-supply, emission-scheduled, onchain-mined token designed for a new generation. It launched on the Abstract chain with a hard cap of 21 million BIG, halving rewards every 4.2 million blocks, and introduced a fully virtualized mining system that required no physical hardware.
Assets
The Bigcoin economy spans several onchain assets beyond the core BIG token. Bigcoin Miners are the NFT miners that power virtualized mining, and Bigpool is the pooled-mining NFT collection. All are part of the single Bigcoin game rather than separate projects.

Market Overview
AI read · 18m agoBIG trades at $0.036530 on Abstract, down 10.8% in 24h with $5,369.67 volume, diverging from Bitcoin’s 0.7% gain. The token is underperforming Abstract’s ecosystem TVL growth (+2.8%) amid Fear sentiment (Greed Index: 26). Bearish social sentiment persists due to 72 days without substantive updates and merge mining delays, with a balanced 52.8% buy ratio suggesting indecision. Volume and liquidity remain thin at $12,038.9, reflecting cautious trading in the Abstract DeFi space.
