what's bitcoinos?
BitcoinOS is a smart contract operating system designed to unlock programmable functionality on the Bitcoin blockchain. It enables features like DeFi, prediction markets, DAOs, and tokenization natively on Bitcoin without requiring changes to its core protocol. By leveraging zero-knowledge proofs and technologies such as BitSNARK, BitcoinOS allows for trustless bridging of assets to other chains while maintaining Bitcoin's security and decentralization. The project positions itself as a "rollup stack" for Bitcoin, facilitating scalable layer-2 solutions that bring altcoin-like capabilities back to Bitcoin's ecosystem. This includes support for UTXO-based chains like Litecoin through interoperable rollups, enabling smart contract execution and asset movement across ecosystems without custodians or multisig bridges. BitcoinOS aims to reunite the crypto world by making Bitcoin the settlement layer for a unified internet of value, powering innovations like native BTC usage in DeFi on other networks such as Cardano.
