what's Charms?
Charms is a programmable, portable token standard and asset protocol designed for Bitcoin and other UTXO-based chains like Cardano. It enchants UTXOs with smart asset capabilities, enabling trustless cross-chain interoperability without bridges, indexers, or compromises. Built using zkVM proofs, client-side validation, EUTXO technology, and native cross-chain support, Charms allows Bitcoin assets to move seamlessly between compatible chains. The protocol unites the history and innovations of Bitcoin and Cardano, granting UTXO chains unprecedented power through programmable dApps and tokens embedded in UTXOs. Its whitepaper outlines the framework, and the codebase is already open-sourced, positioning Charms as a foundational primitive for Bitcoin DeFi, yield-bearing assets, and beyond.
Charms launched Mar 22, 2026, in World App, enabling tokens as AI agents.
