The next potential $ARB & $OP (L2 and sidechains) on bitcoin that I would keep an eye on 👇 Protocol with tokens 🪙✅: 🔸 @Stacks : $STX , $2.26B Mcap > A L2 on Bitcoin (as a settlement layer) that uses Proof of Transfer for its consensus and Clarity for its smart contract language. 🔸 @SatoshiVM : $SAVM, $147M Mcap > A zk-rollup on bitcoin that is EVM-compatible and uses BTC as the native gas token. 🔸@RolluxL2 : $SYS, $89M Mcap > An EVM-compatible rollup built on Syscoin that leverage Bitcoin POW security via merged mining. 🔸 @MapProtocol : $MAP, $72M Mcap > A Bitcoin L2 focused on cross-chain interoperability, secured by a POS relay chain where validators must stake $MAPO tokens and P2P light clients. First usecase was bridging BRC20/ORC20 assets from Bitcoin to the Map network for omnichain liquidity. 🔸 @Dovi_L2 : $DOVI, $9M Mcap > A community driven Bitcoin L2 that is EVM-compatible (Meme?) ------------------------------------ Protocols without token (Or releasing soon) 🪙❌ 🔸 @rootstock_io > An L2 that uses Bitcoin for settlement and operates with the RSK VM that enable R-type asset (E.g., Reth, Rlink) while making the network EVM-compatible. 🔸 @bitfinitynet ($BITFINITY coming soon) > An EVM-compatible Bitcoin L2 built on the ICP using "chain key" technology to secure its neurobridge. 🔸 @chainway_xyz > A zk-Sovereign Rollup that uses Bitcoin as a DA layer and uses inscriptions for ZKP verification. 🔸 @Liquid_BTC > An L2 that allow users to bridge native BTC for LBTC and trade for other asset on it's network, smart contract enabled but not evm-compatible. 🔸 @BsquaredNetwork > A Bitcoin zk-Rollup that uses Bitcoin network for settlement and serves as the place for the final confirmation of ZKP. 🔸 @build_on_bob > A Bitcoin L2 on that is evm-compatible and supports Nostr, ordinals and Lighting etc. Design is inspired by OP stacks and RISC Zero zkVM. 🔸 @BTClayer2 > A Bitcoin L2 that uses BTC as native gas token in BEVM system and EVM-compatible. 🔸 @LayerTwoLabs : > Aka Drivechain, A sidechain that is 2-way pegged to the Bitcoin network and asset can be locked / unlocked by SPV proofs. And more, such as: - @Omni_Layer - @BVMnetwork - @HacashCom .... ----------------------------------------------------- Quick thought 🧠 : The birth of Inscription/Ordinals thanks to SegWit and Taproot upgrades have already sparked the interest of many VCs looking to invest in bitcoin. Heading into the bull market post-halving, investing in some Bitcoin L2 / sidechain would be a decent addition to your portfolio. $STX is probably the safest pick among all.
