BOB: Bitcoin can now play the same game as Ethereum!
Recently, I came across @build_on_bob and realized that the Bitcoin ecosystem is really moving this time. It's not just talk about DeFi; it's genuinely capable of deploying contracts, issuing tokens, and running applications.
What BOB is doing is quite simple:
it's bringing Ethereum's smart contract capabilities to Bitcoin, using the Bitcoin main chain for security.
This means that in the future, you can run EVM applications within the Bitcoin ecosystem without having to navigate various bridges.
The key point is: developers don’t need to learn a new language, and users can jump right in.
📌 A few features:
▪️ EVM compatible: Connect directly with MetaMask, contracts can be reused, basically no changes needed
▪️ Native BTC assets can be used: not those wrapped "bridge tokens" but real assets coming directly from the BTC chain
▪️ Bitcoin as the settlement layer: fund settlement isn’t about "creating a security model" but relies on Bitcoin itself
▪️ Decent transaction experience: Gas costs are cheaper than Ethereum, and the speed is quite good
What can we focus on now?
Currently, BOB has launched its own interaction and task system called SNAPS,
plus a collaboration with @cookiedotfun on the CookieFun tasks, where participation can accumulate progress.
The project team has also hinted at possible incentives in the future.
Don't forget, this is the first Layer2 in the Bitcoin ecosystem that can truly deploy contracts, not one of those "going halfway around the world" solutions.
📌 Summary:
BOB is not some flashy concept; it addresses a very practical problem:
If you want security, choose Bitcoin; if you want playability, choose Ethereum—now you don’t have to choose, you can have both.
Whether Bitcoin DeFi can take off may start with projects like this.
