Ark Labs, the team behind the Ark (L2) second layer network on Bitcoin, has just introduced Arkade, a powerful tool that could transform the way we use BTC. 💡
🌐 What is Arkade?
Arkade is a virtual execution layer that will enable programmable transactions and smart contracts on Bitcoin, without compromising its security. An evolution for Ark that could bring more complex financial apps to BTC! 📲💰
🧠 Based on VTXO and solid technologies, Arkade relies on the same principles as Ark, but adds tools like:
🔧 Arkade Compiler
💻 Script interpreter with over 30 new opcodes
🧩 SDKs in Rust, Go, and TypeScript
📱 They also launched Arkade Mobile Wallet, a progressive web app with passkeys 🔐 that will allow you to manage VTXOs from any device without downloads.
📅 Although Arkade is still in development, it is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2025. For now, developers can already start experimenting with its open-source tools.
🔁 Bitcoin with programmable smart contracts is closer than ever. Are you ready to build on Arkade? 👨💻🧱
