Audience
Blockchain developers and Bitcoin holders needing a tool to leverage Bitcoin's security for building and interacting with scalable, interoperable smart contracts and decentralized applications
About BitcoinOS
BitcoinOS (BOS) is a modular, open source smart contract platform designed to bring scalable, interoperable, and programmable functionality to Bitcoin without altering its base layer. Utilizing zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs through its BitSNARK protocol, BOS enables the execution of smart contracts directly on Bitcoin's mainnet, facilitating decentralized applications (dApps), decentralized finance (DeFi), and trustless cross-chain interactions. BitcoinOS' architecture comprises three layers: the Bitcoin Core base layer, an execution layer that aggregates and compresses transactions, and a compute layer consisting of interoperable rollups called Execution Environment Modules (EEMs). These EEMs support various virtual machines, including Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Rust-based environments, allowing developers to build applications in multiple programming languages.

Across Protocol
Across offers high speed, low fee interoperability solutions powered by intents. Intents is proving to be a winning solution, as Across dominates the routes its supports, frequently able to provide the cheapest and fastest bridge option.
Across' unique value is that it guarantees genuine, not synthetic, assets are transferred cross-chain. With an Across integration, dapps and blockchains are able to provide their users with best-execution cross-chain settlement, without security tradeoffs.
Across Protocol offers three products built on a modular, intents-based framework. Across Bridge, which offers high speed, low fee token bridging. Across+, a free chain abstraction tool that allows dapps to onboard users, from any chain, in seconds, for cents. Lastly, Across Settlement, which is a settlement layer that dapps can plug into, to execute intents-based order flow.
The future of interoperability are intents, and Across is leading its execution.

Emmet Finance
Emmet Finance is a cross-chain DeFi hub that enables seamless asset transfers and liquidity bridging across Ethereum, Bitcoin, TON, Solana, and other major blockchains. Built on the Emmet Interchain Network (EIN), a Proof-of-Stake-powered interoperability layer, Emmet Finance ensures fast, secure, and low-cost transactions between both EVM and non-EVM ecosystems.
Our solution simplifies cross-chain swaps, stablecoin bridging, and decentralized finance (DeFi) interactions by integrating liquidity sources from multiple networks. Emmet Finance also offers yield opportunities, tokenized assets, and staking mechanisms to enhance user participation and capital efficiency.
With grants secured from StonFi, Swisstronik, and 5ire, and successful integrations of TON, BSC, Polygon, and Avalanche mainnets, Emmet Finance is rapidly expanding its infrastructure to support the next wave of DeFi innovation.
By providing trustless interoperability, Emmet Finance eliminates barriers.

Portal
With Portal, Decentralized finance becomes uncensorable, peer to peer, and trust minimized. Just like the underlying properties of Bitcoin. Portal swaps move provable execution of cross-chain contracts to layers 2 and 3, which allows the speed and liquidity of centralized alternatives, with the trust minimization guarantees of Bitcoin. Moreover, transactions are much faster and cheaper than Layer 1 transactions. Using Fabric, we enable web-scale, serverless infrastructure with strong privacy and security guarantees. Portal’s layer 2 and layer 3 atomic swap technology can be used for a general purpose market for data and computation. Our goal is to replace the web server model which is prone to centralization by design and architecture with a free market for data and computation. Fabric, the underlying protocol Portal uses extends Bitcoin’s functionality today without needing any BIPs.

Acala
Scale your DApp to Polkadot with Acala, an Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform optimized for DeFi. Acala is the decentralized finance network and liquidity hub of Polkadot. It’s a layer-1 smart contract platform that’s scalable, Ethereum-compatible, and optimized for DeFi with built-in liquidity and ready-made financial applications. With its trustless exchange, decentralized stablecoin (aUSD), DOT Liquid Staking (LDOT), and EVM+, Acala lets developers access the best of Ethereum and the full power of substrate. Access DOT-based assets and derivatives, Polkadot-native decentralized stablecoin, Polkadot ecosystem assets, and cross-chain assets from Bitcoin, Ethereum and beyond. Acala’s chain is customized for DeFi and can continue to upgrade without forks to integrate new features requested from developers. For example, on-chain ‘keepers’ automate protocol execution to better manage risks and improve user experience, or transaction fees payable with virtually any token.
