Gm fam😌 What’s Hot on bitcoin right now you ask?
Despite BTC All time highs, there are people who still believe Bitcoin can’t do smart contracts, DeFi, or stablecoins?
Let me show you 6 projects proving them wrong 👇
6 Big Bitcoin Defi projects, metaprotocols on L1 and one L2 you should definitely know in 2025.
Since the inception of Ordinals many builders and devs realised they could do so much more on Bitcoin.
This new wave of meta-protocols is giving Bitcoin more programmability and functionality.
Arch Network, Alkanes, Spark, BRC-2.0, OPNET and Ducat
@ArchNtwrk focuses on Bitcoin DeFi and Native Smart Contracts, enabling Bitcoin-native dApps like lending markets, AMM exchanges, stablecoins and maybe game running directly on Bitcoin. Testnet live
@oylwallet Alkanes brings Smart Contracts for DeFi, NFTs, Tokens.
TLDR it's a Bitcoin L1 metaprotocol that uses WebAssembly (WASM) smart contracts This allows developers to deploy Rust-compiled programs (as "Alkane" contracts) on Bitcoin like we've seen with Clock-in by @jin_maa and more. Currently Live on Mainnet
@spark is a Bitcoin L2 for Payments and Tokens with focus on fast, scalable payments and asset transfers. USDB stablecoin coming soon.
@bestinslotxyz BRC-2.0 an upcoming upgrade to the popular BRC-20 token protocol. It extends Bitcoin's ordinal inscriptions to support programmable tokens and DeFi functionalities onchain through EVM live on August 14th
@opnetbtc brings programmability fully to Bitcoin to support DeFi, NFTs, swaps, amms. tokens all on L1. Testnet live.
@Ducatstable bringing stablecoin to Bitcoin mint and borrow UNIT with BTC collateral directly on Bitcoin using runes.
I hope this hits @FattyIndex btw which are you rooting for?
