165 מיליאָן צו שטיצן ביטקאָין פּראַדזשעקס - די קריפּטאָנאָמיסט

The well-known crypto exchange Okcoin has launched an initiative to support the development of ביטקאָין-based projects. 

Stacks partners with Bitcoin Odyssey

The initiative is called ביטקאָין אָדיססיי, and is being implemented in collaboration with Stacks Accelerator, Stacks Foundation and other partners

The goal is to support the next chapter of ביטקאָין‘s evolution, with e.g. DeFi and DAO

די ביטקאָין protocol has undergone few structural innovations in recent years. However, thanks to the Lightning Network and Taproot it is ready to be used as a basic infrastructure for further developments that do not require changes to the underlying protocol. 

Okcoin and Stacks have together committed as much as $ קסנומקס מיליאָן to support projects to develop decentralized apps based on the Bitcoin protocol. 

איצט, דעפי און דאַאָס are very underdeveloped on ביטקאָין, and concentrated mostly within the עטהערעום ecosystem, and partly on Terra, BSC (בינאַנסע סמאַרט קייט), Avalanche, Solana, Fantom, Tron, Polygon and other blockchains

No stablecoin based on Bitcoin

אין דעם רעספּעקט, ביטקאָין is far behind, although it must be said that this is certainly not its core business. Bitcoin remains the world’s leading cryptocurrency as a risk-on hedge against inflation and, thanks to the Lightning Network, as a medium of exchange. 

Currently, there is for instance no widely used stablecoin based on Bitcoin, although USDT for instance originated as a token exchangeable on Omni, a layer built on Bitcoin’s blockchain.

Thanks to second layers on Bitcoin, such as LN, it is not only possible to create complex smart contracts, but it is also possible to issue tokens, as on RGB. 

Bitcoin ready for new developments

After the upgrade to Taproot, the Bitcoin ecosystem is also ready to welcome new decentralized dApps to create and manage DeFi and DAO פּראָטאָקאָלס. 

Okcoin is not the only קריפּטאָ וועקסל working on this kind of Bitcoin evolution, but since Stacks‘ slogan is “unleash Bitcoin’s‍ full potential” we can expect great things from this initiative. 

אין דעם קאָנטעקסט, ביטקאָין אָדיססיי is committed to distributing $ קסנומקס מיליאָן over a year to projects that are developing concrete products that will accelerate the mass adoption of Bitcoin. 

The selected projects will be those working on וועבקסנומקס solutions, such as metaverse, play-to-earn games, decentralized finance, NFT and DAO, as well as CityCoins and GovTech
