# Follow our progress

{% hint style="info" %}
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. [View update ↗](https://twitter.com/punk3700/status/1650524119136628736)

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. [View update ↗](https://twitter.com/punk3700/status/1664211213432291335)

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. [View update ↗](https://twitter.com/punk3700/status/1699821767781658669)

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. [View update ↗](https://x.com/punk3700/status/1796119677577605380)

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. [View update ↗](https://x.com/BVMnetwork/status/1813536719515590948)

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

**✅ Launched Bitcoin Heartbeats.** August 2024. [View update ↗](https://x.com/BVMnetwork/status/1821851744193933681)

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