PreviousDevelopment infrastructure for BitcoinNextBuild a Bitcoin L2 with BVM Studio

Last updated 8 months ago

Our mission is to build development tools for the next-generation Bitcoin builders who upgrade Bitcoin beyond money.

We maintain a flexible roadmap. Most of the time, we work on the most important problem that arises, but we always stay on course towards our mission.

✅ Brought Solidity smart contracts to Bitcoin. March 2023.

In this release, we shipped a full-featured EVM on Bitcoin. This is the first building block to make Bitcoin usable far more than just a currency because developers can now write smart contracts and build dapps for Bitcoin.

✅ Deployed the first Optimistic rollup on Bitcoin. June 2023.

In this release, we shipped a low-cost and lightning-fast Bitcoin L2 (based on the Optimism code base). This is an important building block for scaling Bitcoin for mass adoption.

✅ Launched Optimistic rollup as a Service on Bitcoin. Sep 2023.

In this release, we shipped a no-code tool that lets anyone launch a Bitcoin L2 in one click. This building block is important because it hyperscales Bitcoin with infinite L2s and unlimited throughput.

✅ Launched ZK rollup as a Service on Bitcoin. June 2024.

Improve the Rollup protocol’s function in the Bitcoin L2 blockchain by including ZK rollups, which are recognized for their security, speed, and transparency, alongside Optimistic rollups.

✅ Launched BVM Bitcoin Studio. July 2024.

A visual blockchain-building tool. Just drag and drop — no coding expertise is required.

✅ Launched Bitcoin Heartbeats. August 2024.

Real-time data analytics for Bitcoin scaling solutions with transparent, verifiable insights.
