Bitcoin, as the 'digital gold' of the cryptocurrency space, has a market value far exceeding that of Ethereum, but its ecological development has long lagged behind.

Ethereum has created trillion-dollar markets such as DeFi and NFTs through its smart contract functionality.

If we can unlock smart contract capabilities on Bitcoin, activating this dormant gold mine, it would represent a market many times larger than Ethereum.

The #Alkanes protocol is not a simple technology transplant; rather, it achieves native smart contract functionality on the Bitcoin mainnet through a modular architecture and open-source indexers.

Unlike patch solutions like Ordinals, the Alkanes protocol builds the underlying operating system for Bitcoin smart contracts.

In 2015, when Vitalik Buterin proposed the vision for Ethereum, the market was rife with skepticism.

However, smart contracts have given rise to new economic forms such as DeFi (with a peak TVL exceeding $300 billion in 2021) and NFTs (with OpenSea transaction volume exceeding $50 billion), proving the feasibility of 'code is value.'

Alkanes is replicating this path, but the target market is the trillion-dollar value base of Bitcoin.

CZ's Persistence: Binance founder CZ once said, 'Cryptocurrency will eventually permeate all financial scenarios.' From exchanges to public chains, he bets on the irreversibility of the industry's underlying logic.

Musk's Disruption: The success of SpaceX and Tesla stems from a belief in 'impossible technologies.'

Reusable rockets and electric vehicles were once seen as fantasies, but the execution driven by belief has turned them into reality.

Because we believe, we see.

The smart contract revolution in the Bitcoin ecosystem is not a technical race, but a contest of beliefs.

Just as early Ethereum developers did not give up due to EVM vulnerabilities, Alkanes' mission also requires support from 'long-termism.'

We believe:

The market value of Bitcoin is the soil, smart contracts are the seeds, and rooting and sprouting can grow into towering trees;

Trillion-dollar on-chain assets require native contract management, which is a demand even larger than that of Ethereum;

From METHANE to DIESEL, from staking to stablecoins, from official AMMs to NFTs issued through smart contracts written by other project parties to establish forging rules, these customized smart contracts implemented using the Alkanes protocol are slowly turning this grand vision into 'reality.'

Because we believe in the possibilities of technology, we see the explosive potential of the ecosystem.
