what's Trac Network?
Trac Network is a layer 1 blockchain designed to enhance Bitcoin's ecosystem by enabling advanced functionalities for ordinals, inscriptions, and digital assets without relying on traditional smart contracts. It integrates with protocols like TAP Protocol, which facilitates secure minting, transfers, and staking of Bitcoin-based tokens and collectibles directly on layer 1. This approach prevents issues like frontrunning and supports efficient asset distribution, bridging Bitcoin's security with scalable DeFi and NFT capabilities. The network unifies token utilities, with $TNK serving as the native gas token for transactions, validation, and ecosystem incentives. Features include bitmap staking for bringing TVL into BRC-20 and ordinal ecosystems, along with tools for deploying tokens and managing minter privileges. Trac Network emphasizes decentralization through validator pools and community-driven upgrades, fostering innovations in play-to-earn metaverses and digital matter theory projects.
