Bitway is a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built to unlock the full economic potential of Bitcoin. By enabling self-custodial financing, gas-free payments, and access to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), Bitway transforms Bitcoin from a passive store of value into a dynamic, programmable, and liquid economic force. With support for EVM and WASM smart contracts, Bitway delivers a scalable and developer-friendly infrastructure while remaining fully Bitcoin wallet compatible—no new addresses or chains to learn. Bitway is on a mission to power the next era of Bitcoin-based applications, commerce, and finance.

Hemi is a programmable Bitcoin Layer 2 network that bridges Bitcoin and Ethereum to unlock true BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance). Powered by its proprietary Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus and the Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM), Hemi enables developers to build scalable, secure, and Bitcoin-aware decentralized applications. Through seamless asset tunneling, EVM compatibility, and deep Bitcoin integration, Hemi creates a new frontier for Bitcoin-backed DeFi, AI, DAOs, and cross-chain innovation.

Midl brings smart contracts and dApps directly to Bitcoin, without needing bridges or wrapped tokens. It lets developers build and users interact with apps, tokens, and DeFi tools—right on the Bitcoin network. With Midl, you can trade, stake, farm, and launch Bitcoin-native tokens, just like on Ethereum or Solana. It also introduces Bitcoin-native yield by redistributing transaction fees to stakers. Whether you're building or using apps, Midl unlocks real utility for Bitcoin and makes it easier to do more with your BTC.

Asigna is a powerful multisig smart wallet platform purpose-built for managing Bitcoin assets across L1 metaprotocols and emerging Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystems. Trusted by DAOs, protocols, and treasuries with over $1B+ in total value secured, Asigna enables seamless asset management, secure smart contract deployment, and multisig operations on Bitcoin-native infrastructure.

Ducat Protocol is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that introduces UNIT, the first Bitcoin Layer 1-native decentralized stablecoin. By allowing users to collateralize their Bitcoin (BTC) holdings, Ducat enables the minting of UNIT tokens, providing a stable medium of exchange within the Bitcoin ecosystem. This protocol leverages recent advancements in Bitcoin programmability to offer BTC-native, permissionless smart contracts, thereby enhancing Bitcoin's utility in the DeFi space.

Arch Network is a bridgeless execution platform designed to enhance Bitcoin's capabilities by enabling fast, secure, and fully verifiable smart contract-like programs directly on the Bitcoin base layer. Unlike Layer 2 solutions that require asset bridging and can fragment liquidity, Arch allows developers to deploy interoperable applications without compromising Bitcoin's inherent security and liquidity.

Stacks is a layer-2 solution that brings smart contracts, decentralized apps (dApps), and DeFi to Bitcoin. Built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, Stacks leverages Bitcoin’s security while enabling scalable and fast transactions. With Stacks, developers can create and deploy smart contracts using the Clarity programming language, which offers complete transparency and predictability. Stacks is redefining the capabilities of Bitcoin by unlocking its potential for decentralized finance, NFTs, and other advanced applications.

Hiro is a leading developer tooling and infrastructure provider for building applications on Bitcoin layers, especially the Stacks blockchain. By offering APIs, SDKs, explorers, and smart contract tools, Hiro enables developers to create Bitcoin-native DeFi, NFTs, identity systems, and more—while benefiting from Bitcoin’s finality and security. Hiro plays a central role in the growth of the Bitcoin app ecosystem.

Rootstock (RSK) is a Bitcoin sidechain that brings smart contract functionality to the Bitcoin network, enabling decentralized applications (dApps) and DeFi solutions while maintaining Bitcoin’s security and decentralization. Rootstock is fully compatible with Ethereum’s EVM, allowing developers to deploy smart contracts seamlessly using familiar tools. By leveraging Bitcoin’s hash power through merged mining, Rootstock enhances scalability and efficiency while supporting a growing ecosystem of financial services, payments, and decentralized finance.

Templar is a decentralized lending platform that enables users to borrow U.S. dollars (via stablecoins) against their Bitcoin holdings without relying on centralized institutions. By leveraging Multi-Party Computation (MPC) networks and smart contracts, Templar ensures that users retain control over their collateral, aligning with cypherpunk principles of privacy, decentralization, and self-sovereignty.

Nubit is building the Trustless World Computer for Bitcoin, aiming to enhance Bitcoin's scalability and programmability through Bitcoin-native technology. Founded by UCSB professor Yu Feng and backed by Polychain, Nubit seeks to enable developers to build native applications on Bitcoin, thereby broadening the scope and efficiency of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
