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.
