Fractal, OP_NET, AVM, BRC100, programmable runes, what other expansion plans does BTC have?
Since the first quarter of 2024, the speculative enthusiasm of the BTC ecosystem has not been as high as in 2023, but as more and more developers join and become familiar with the BTC model, the BTC ecosystem has made rapid progress in terms of technology, especially in terms of programmable expansion solutions. Trustless labs has previously introduced BTC's L2 and UTXO binding and BTC re-staking. This article will continue to fill in the gaps and introduce the highly popular Fractal Bitcoin and the programmable solutions of BTC metadata protocols such as BRC 20, CBRC, and ARC 20.
Fractal
Fractal is a virtualized version of bitcoin core client software. By recursively creating a tree-like extensible framework, each layer of blockchain can improve the performance of the entire Fractal network. Because of the reuse of the main code, Fractal is instantly fully compatible with Bitcoin and its infrastructure, such as mining. The difference is that Fractal activates the op_cat operator, allowing more logic to be implemented.
BRC-20 hard fork successfully activated on Bitcoin mainnet
According to Odaily Planet Daily, the BRC-20 hard fork led by the BRC-100 protocol was successfully activated at Bitcoin mainnet block #859490. BRC-20 asset holders have obtained 1:1 forked assets in the BRC-100 protocol and can query, place orders, and trade forked assets on the BRC-100 Marketplace and index inbrc.org.
The BRC-100 protocol is a scalable DeFi protocol based on Ordinals. Mikael, the founder of the BRC-100 protocol, said that this BRC-20 fork is the first meta-protocol fork, and its goal is to reactivate the inscription ecosystem.
Blockchain Developer to Fork BRC-20 to Bring Defi to Bitcoin
A blockchain developer is set to fork the BRC-20 token standard to introduce decentralized finance capabilities to the Bitcoin network.
A blockchain developer under the alias Mikael.btc, best known as the creator of the BRC-100 token standard, wants to fork BRC-20 in an effort to roll out a new protocol designed to bring decentralized finance to the Bitcoin (BTC) network.
In an Aug. 9 post on X, the developer outlined plans for the fork, emphasizing that the upgrade would address key limitations of the BRC-20 standard, including its “lack of programmability,” scalability challenges, and the absence of defi infrastructure.
BRC-20 Fork: BRC-100, Re-Activate BRC-20#Bitcoin needs DeFi infrastructures, #BRC100 and #RSM are both born to solve this problem, with similar concepts but different technologies: #Inscriptions and OP_RETURN.Now, BRC-20 community and BRC-100 community are going to fork… pic.twitter.com/Qyi2F4wsqx
— Mikael.btc | BRC-100 & RSM (@MikaelBTC) August 9, 2024
According to Mikael.btc, the new protocol will leverage technologies such as Inscriptions — used to add metadata to Bitcoin’s sats — and OP_RETURN — a script that allows data to be stored within transactions — to enhance Bitcoin’s functionality, enabling users to access decentralized finance.
“Every BRC-20 token will be mapped to a BRC-100 token with the same ticker and the same supply. 100% of the new BRC-100 token will be distributed to the holders of the original BRC-20 token, with the exactly same amount as the holdings on BRC-20.”
Mikael.btc
Following the fork, holders of BRC-20 tokens will automatically receive equivalent assets on the BRC-100 protocol, the developer added. However, those with BRC-20 tokens held on centralized exchanges will need to wait for the exchanges to distribute the new forked assets.
The push for defi on the Bitcoin network gained momentum recently after a research report from Pantera Capital, a crypto venture capital firm, projected that the Bitcoin-based defi ecosystem could attract hundreds of billions of dollars in liquidity through web3 protocols, implying that Bitcoin’s defi sector could achieve a market share comparable to that of Ethereum’s.
First of all, BRC100 is also based on the technical system of Ordinals. Its direction is the DeFi layer of the big cake. Dex is launched, and it also includes sub-protocols such as lending and stablecoins. It is a BRC20 that is more scalable in terms of technical routes. Secondly, the weakness of BRC20 is obvious to all. Various zeroed inscription assets show that the consensus foundation is far from enough. Runes and other protocols are all impacting the fragile consensus of BRC20, especially under the mechanism that only Meme is launched. The establishment of consensus lacks an important link of developers. The market is more full of Memes and lacks narratives. The biggest benefit of Meme is that it forms a decentralized community consensus, and this community urgently needs better scenarios and narratives to continue its vitality. There is no doubt that DeFi is a good narrative. And BRC100 has been working on Bitcoin DeFi infrastructure for a year. Which forked asset is more valuable? First of all, all inscription assets will be forked to BRC100, and the most valuable asset of BRC20 is Ordi, which is the leader of BRC20 and the leader of Bitcoin ecology. The current assets are 600 million US dollars. After the fork, ordi will also have a 1:1 mapping on BRC100. If you have 100 ordi, you will also have 100 forked ordi on BRC100. And you can place an order to sell on inbrc, or trade forked ordi on a completely decentralized DEX such as @100Swap_io, and you can also participate in mining. The forked ordi is more like a golden shovel, participating in more DeFi ecosystems, which will also empower BRC20's ordi in disguise for a period of time. In the long run, it is indeed worth waiting to see which is stronger between Meme's ordi and DeFi's ordi. After all, the consensus of ordi is still in the early stage, which is very similar to the stage of BCH and ETH at that time. Rather than saying that BRC100 forked BRC20, it is better to say that Meme's ordi was forked into DeFi's ordi, exploring new scenarios in the early Bitcoin ecosystem and continuing the mission of leading the Bitcoin ecosystem.
From Ryan@runeshooray BTC-BCH, ETC-ETH, BRC20-BRC100, why did the fork succeed? What is the value of the forked ORDI? The most recent event in Inscription is the BRC20 fork! The technical fork led by BRC100 founder @MikaelBTC officially forked on September 2. The forked ORDI also has a dedicated community: Community_100ORDI…You can also check the official index of pre-forked assets in BRC100 inbrc.org @in_BRC.
What exactly is the fork? The fork is a unique technical feature of the blockchain. It roughly means that before a certain block, the data is synchronized. After the hard fork block, the data goes to two different underlying facilities. Many people think that forks are airdrops, which is a completely one-sided view. They are essentially different. Take the BRC100 fork BRC20 as an example. Before the fork on September 2, your inscription assets were all on the BRC20 protocol, but after the fork, your inscription assets will also have a mapping on the BRC100 protocol, which is completely 1:1 decentralized, avoiding the suspicion of airdrops, unfairness, and insider trading. This is because the original BRC20 community holds the forked assets fairly, and there is an extra value-added asset at no cost. At the same time, the community is also very clear that BRC100 cannot change the ownership of these assets.
What are the conditions for a successful fork? In the past, two successful well-known forked coins were BCH and ETH. BCH is a fork of Bitcoin, led by Bitmain. The reason for its success at the time was that Bitcoin was still in the era of computing power competition, not the digital gold of the global consensus now. Therefore, BCH successfully forked BTC. Of course, there are also technical characteristics of the fork, and the reason for the fork around the block size was chosen. ETH is actually a fork of ETC, or ETC is a fork of ETH. They are mainly in the dispute over data rollback, and the community chooses to fork. Of course, the consensus foundation of ETH at that time was far less strong than it is now. So from these two successful fork projects, we can at least see the basic conditions for the success of two forks:
First, the fork needs technical support and technical narrative.
Second, the fork needs to be based on the fact that the consensus of the forked community is not strong enough.
From these two points of view, the forks of BRC20 meet the conditions.Why do I say so?
