It’s here — a crypto game for mass audiences.
Everything you need to know about
@solana
's new mobile shooter -- FTW 🔫👇
========================================
jungle_xyz’s FTW is a fast-paced mobile shooter where players can play casually or win real rewards by competing in tournaments and PVP wagering matches.
While FTW has multiple ways to play—Free-for-Alls, Team Deathmatches, and Extractions (akin to capture the flag)—its main mode is Showdown, where 10 players face off in a 3-minute Battle Royale. Here, players spawn with randomized load-outs of different heroes, weapons, and gadgets and can respawn during the first 2 minutes, battling to rack up points and buffs.
After this, the playing zone starts closing and respawns are disabled until the last player standing claims victory. Along the way, players can pick up new weapons and equipment scattered across the map. These come in four rarity levels: White, Blue, Purple, and Yellow, each offering increased power for an edge as the match progresses.
⚔️ Qualifiers (Mon-Fri): During weekdays, you can play Showdown matches for free and collect points to prepare for the weekend Finals. This mode helps you accumulate upgrades, currencies, and tickets, which will be crucial for weekend competition.
🎖Finals (Sat-Sun): The weekend Finals require one ticket per match, and only these games count toward the leaderboard for prizes. Players can win $USDC , $SOL , in-game rewards, and whitelist spots for Jungle’s Genesis mint — though you must connect your wallet and Discord to be eliglible.
Additionally, there is a Monthly Leaderboard on FTW’s Jungle Discord, where your Finals scores accumulate throughout the month. Players who perform well can qualify for boosted rewards.
How to Get Started:
Additional Features:
🎯 Auto-Aim: FTW lets you choose between manual and auto-aim in its settings. While it may burn through your bullets, personally I’d recommend auto.
💥 Hero Ultimates: Each hero has a unique ultimate ability like airstrikes, poison gas, or shock blasts, which charges up as the match goes on and you rack up more stats.
🧰 Hero and Weapon Upgrades: XP will be earned as you play, alongside crates offering unique boosts which can be used to upgrade your heroes and weapons, increasing traits like their resilience, precision, and speed.
How to Earn:
FTW’s tournaments are where the money’s made, and these events are split into Qualifiers and Finals:
📲 Download FTW: The game is available on the iOS App Store and Google Play in early access worldwide.
✅ Sign Up: Once downloaded, create your account through your email or Google.
🔗 Link Your Account: To qualify for rewards, join the Jungle Discord and complete your profile under the profile channel by linking your FTW account (a code will be provided in the app) and Solana wallet.
🏆 Join Tournaments: Participate in weekly Qualifiers to earn points, and use tickets to join the weekend Finals for a shot at the prizes.
And that's all it takes to get started here!
With mobile games feeling ripe for crypto adoption by augmenting their casual gameplay with onchain rewards, Jungle looks to be flying under the radar as a studio to watch.
Move quickly, though! The last Qualifiers for this first “Play-to-Mint” tournament end on September 27th, though we can expect more down the line.

's new mobile shooter -- FTW 🔫👇
========================================
jungle_xyz’s FTW is a fast-paced mobile shooter where players can play casually or win real rewards by competing in tournaments and PVP wagering matches.
While FTW has multiple ways to play—Free-for-Alls, Team Deathmatches, and Extractions (akin to capture the flag)—its main mode is Showdown, where 10 players face off in a 3-minute Battle Royale. Here, players spawn with randomized load-outs of different heroes, weapons, and gadgets and can respawn during the first 2 minutes, battling to rack up points and buffs.
After this, the playing zone starts closing and respawns are disabled until the last player standing claims victory. Along the way, players can pick up new weapons and equipment scattered across the map. These come in four rarity levels: White, Blue, Purple, and Yellow, each offering increased power for an edge as the match progresses.
⚔️ Qualifiers (Mon-Fri): During weekdays, you can play Showdown matches for free and collect points to prepare for the weekend Finals. This mode helps you accumulate upgrades, currencies, and tickets, which will be crucial for weekend competition.

Jupiter, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana, made a series of major announcements today at Solana Breakpoint 2024, the Solana ecosystem's largest annual conference. These updates include the acquisition of SolanaFM, the second-largest explorer on Solana, and Coinhall, the leading aggregator across Cosmos.
Co-founder Siong delivered a keynote address outlining the ambitious roadmap ahead for Jupiter.
Metropolis API Platform
Building on the foundation of Jupiter's existing APIs (Swap, Tokens, and Price APIs), the Metropolis API Platform makes it easier for developers to integrate with all of Solana's liquidity and build sustainable businesses. Anyone with an internet connection can leverage these APIs to streamline development and create innovative applications on Solana.
Jupiter RFQ
Deepening liquidity on Solana by connecting market makers directly to Jupiter's routing engine. This innovative feature allows market makers who primarily use exchanges like Binance to easily provide liquidity on Solana, ensuring that Jupiter consistently offers the best prices.
Jupiter Perps V2
Perps V2 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, offering a richer feature set, competitive fees, and unmatched reliability. This new version introduces limit orders, a revamped Doves oracle for enhanced pricing accuracy, and gasless transactions, ensuring a seamless and cost-effective trading experience.
With Perps V2, traders can benefit from the convenience of limit orders, the reliability of the Dove oracle, and the efficiency of gasless transactions, all backed by $600 million in JLP liquidity. This combination makes Solana the most compelling platform for perpetual contracts.
Jupiter Mobile
Jupiter Mobile is poised to revolutionize how people interact with Solana by offering a frictionless and intuitive user experience. It simplifies the onboarding process, making Solana accessible to everyone regardless of their technical expertise. Users can easily connect their existing wallets or use popular payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit cards. Additionally, Jupiter Mobile eliminates the need for complex seed phrases, making it easy for new users to get started.
The platform also offers zero platform fees, ensuring that users can enjoy cost-effective transactions without worrying about hidden charges. With its 1-tap swap feature, users can effortlessly swap tokens with just a single click, streamlining the trading process.
Ape Pro: Taking on Pump.fun
Jupiter is now making moves to capture the meme coin market by taking on the popular Pump.fun, a no-code meme coin creation platform.
Ape Pro, a massive upgrade to the existing Ape platform, is set to make meme coins fun again on Solana. It will offer a powerful, mobile-friendly trading suite that supports social logins and an easy-to-use token creation experience.
Ape Pro stands out from its competitors, such as Pump.fun, by offering lower trading fees, a seamless mobile experience, faster transactions with Google login, and a robust token creation process. With a competitive 0.5% trading fee, Ape Pro provides a cost-effective solution for traders. Its mobile optimization ensures a smooth and efficient experience on the go, while Google login simplifies the onboarding process, eliminating the need for complex seed phrases. Additionally, Ape Mint, a feature within Ape Pro, allows users to easily mint new tokens, lock liquidity for project credibility, and earn perpetual swap fees, creating a sustainable revenue stream and combatting the current PVP model in the meme coin ecosystem.
Acquisitions Signal Growth and Ambition
Jupiter's acquisition of SolanaFM, a critical infrastructure provider for the Solana ecosystem, underscores the company's commitment to strengthening it. This move will enable Jupiter to leverage SolanaFM's world-class data infrastructure to enhance its platform further.

SOLANA BREAKPOINT: The Biggest Announcements From Day One
Hopes were high for some big announcements, but even the most devout Solana maxi wasn’t ready for this.
Over 5,700 Solana fans, users, and bulls descended on day one of Singapore Breakpoint. The biggest conference event in Solana history, Breakpoint delivered a wrath of key updates, with crucial developments announced from both native teams and institutional players.
If you weren’t at Breakpoint, here’s what you need to know:
FIREDANCER LIVE ON TESTNET
Solana users and investors alike were delighted to see Kevin Bowers, Jump Crypto’s Chief Science Officer take the stage to deliver one of the network’s most eagerly awaited updates.
Firedancer, the novel validator client promising to bring unparalleled levels of scalability, decentralization, and security to Solana, is now live on testnet.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Bowers also took the opportunity to outline the development history of the client and its evolution from Frankendancer, an experimental synergy of existing software with Jump’s new codebase, to the optimized final Firedancer product.
To rounds of raucous applause from the Solana faithful, Bowers announced that the existing Frankendancer client is now live on the Solana mainnet.
FRANKLIN TEMPLETON BUILDING ON SOLANA
While existing SOL ETF applications find themselves unlikely to be approved in the short term, that doesn’t mean that TradFi giants aren’t eager to launch Solana-based products to their institutional clients.
Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s largest financial players boasting over $1 .3T in AUM (Assets Under Management) announced its intention to launch a mutual fund on the Solana blockchain.
CITIBANK EXPLORING SOLANA
Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, and VanEck aren’t the only Wall Street players with an eye on crypto’s most performant Layer-1.
Citibank, the fourth largest bank in the United States, shared that it was exploring Solana’s potential, suggesting that seamless money transfers and advanced smart contract composability present unique opportunities in the future.
JUPITER MAKES BIG MOVES
Traditional Finance may have dominated the headlines, but Solana-native DeFi teams also commanded their fair share of the spotlight.
Jupiter co-founder Siong presented an immense range of updates coming to Jupiter’s expansive ecosystem. Crucial announcements included a refreshed v2 perps platform, the reveal of the Ape Pro memecoin trading platform, further details surrounding the Jupiter mobile wallet, and Jupiter’s acquisition of the SolanaFM explorer.
SKY, FORMERLY MakerDAO, DEPLOYS ON SOLANA
MakerDAO, one of the crypto industry’s longest standing DeFi protocols, recently rebranded to SKY, migrating its iconic decentralized stablecoin from $DAI to $USDS . Building on top of the momentum achieved with the rebrand, SKY announced a proposal to leverage Wormhole’s cross-chain infrastructure to bridge $USDS to Solana.
Reinforcing SKY’s desire to be present on the Solana network, the protocol announced an rewards campaign to incentivise deeper liquidity on the network. According to SKY governance, the maximum distribution of weekly rewards is capped at 2M $SKY .
The move helps to bring greater stability to Solana DeFi by providing a more diversified range of stablecoin assets onchain.
Continuing the trend of Solana migration, the Huma Finance PayFi network also announced its intention to launch on the network.

Solana’s favorite no-code token deployer has proven itself the biggest application of the cycle, consistently generating millions in revenue.
Pump.fun, a popular Solana-based token deployment application, is showing no sign of stopping. After celebrating the launch of one million tokens on the platform on June 14, 2024, pump.fun notched 1.5M launches a mere 42 days later on July 25th.
PUMP.FUN GENERATES $85M REVENUE SINCE JANUARY LAUNCH
Consistently generating over $1M in daily revenue, pump.fun has established itself as one of the most valuable crypto apps in terms of revenue generation. In just under seven months since its January 14 launch, pump.fun has generated 520,412 SOL in revenue, currently valued at over $85M
The platform’s viral growth has set an astonishing pace. After a comparatively slow start, pump.fun usage exploded in March and never looked back. On average, 12,679 tokens were launched daily on the platform in July, based on Dune Analytics data.
Off the back of its massive popularity, pump.fun recently crossed the 1.5M token deployment threshold. The no-code token creator is accelerating towards the next significant milestone at 2M launches and is expected to achieve this feat in just under 32 days, if it continues the pace set in July.
In a recent interview with threadguy, a popular crypto influencer, pump.fun co-founder alon credits the platform’s success to its accessibility. Alon argues that pump.fun is the ideal intersection between finance and social media, contending that “pump.fun is SocialFi in the most crypto-native way”.
PUMP.FUN RESPONSIBLE FOR 40.97% OF SOLANA DEX TRANSACTIONS
One doesn’t need to look far to see that pump.fun has evolved into one of the most critical applications in Solana’s DeFi ecosystem.
According to Dune Analytics data collected over the past seven days, pump.fun transactions make up approximately 40.97% of all Solana DEX transactions.
However, given that tokens launched on the platform are migrated to Raydium upon reaching a market capitalization of $69 ,000, volumes on the app remain relatively low compared to other decentralized exchanges.
Despite attracting the bulk of Solana DEX transactions, pump.fun’s DEX volume market share continues to hover around 4%, with Raydium being a significant benefactor of pump.fun’s success.
“THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO CRYPTO ” - Alon Responds to Criticism
For many blockchain advocates, pump.fun represents all the worst parts of the industry. Arguing that the proliferation of meme coins on Solana is drawing attention away from serious projects, and delegitimizing the industry.
In response to criticism, alon concedes that “pump.fun is the worst thing to happen for crypto for a lot of people”. However, the co-founder argues that the platform has simply “uncovered the veil” and exposed “crypto for what it really is”.
Looking ahead, alon posits that the key to continuing pump.fun’s meteoric growth is to “leaning into what we’ve already done”.
While not giving away any hints regarding upcoming features on the platform, alon indicated that the pump.fun team was committed to “improving the experience while maintaining the culture that makes it so exciting in the first place.”

After causing significant congestion issues across the Solana network in April, the ORE mining protocol returns to “revive the long lost dream of crypto as p2p electronic cash.”
Love it or hate it, Proof-of-Work crypto mining is returning to Solana. ORE, the wildly popular mining protocol that besieged the Solana blockchain in April is returning, promising a revised and more egalitarian approach to distribution.
With ORE price climbing over 100% in anticipation of the relaunch, the question needs to be asked: What will be different this time around?
ORE v2: WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
Pseudonymous founder HardHatChad launched ORE as an experimental Solana hackathon project in April 2024. Leveraging a Proof-of-Work mining concept on a high throughput Proof-of-Stake blockchain, HardHatChad aimed to create a truly fair token launch.
In a matter of days, the Ore protocol objectively became the most used program in the Solana ecosystem at the time, generating over 12M transactions between 124k+ users.
However, due to flaws within the project’s model and network congestion issues caused by the ORE mining, HardHatChad opted to pause mining to focus on redevelopment. Despite the chaos, OreSupply took home the grand prize at the Solana Renaissance Hackathon.
After months of development work behind the scenes, HardHatChad has teased the relaunch of ORE v2. Courtesy of several key changes, the passionate founder renews his mission to “revive the long lost dream of crypto as p2p electronic cash.”
HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT:
• No Admin Variables - The revised protocol will rely on open-source algorithms to manage all program variables, such as mining difficulty.
• Mining Multipliers - Staking ORE tokens gives miners a rewards multiplier of up to 100%, based on their proportional stake. This only applies to miners submitting valid hashes and cannot be abused through flash-loans.
• Fixed supply - Like Bitcoin, ORE has a fixed maximum supply of 21M. One ORE will be issued per minute, projecting a fully emitted supply by 2064.
• Sybil Protection - In the relaunched protocol, miners will maximize rewards by submitting the most difficult hash possible. This is expected to discourage sybil miners and mitigate network congestion.
• Accessible Hash Function - A new hash function closes the performance gap between high-end hardware and consumer devices, lowering ORE mining’s barrier to entry.
• Client Software - OreSupply has revamped its software to improve performance and reliability. HardHatChad also promised to launch client software that will be compatible with the Solana Saga mobile device.
• Immutable Contract - Once mining dynamics have stabilized, the OreSupply contract will be permanently frozen, meaning that no further changes can be implemented to its code.
The OreSupply team hopes that by implementing these changes, the protocol will be better suited to wider adoption within the Solana ecosystem.

However, due to flaws within the project’s model and network congestion issues caused by the ORE mining, HardHatChad opted to pause mining to focus on redevelopment. Despite the chaos, OreSupply took home the grand prize at the Solana Renaissance Hackathon.
After months of development work behind the scenes, HardHatChad has teased the relaunch of ORE v2. Courtesy of several key changes, the passionate founder renews his mission to “revive the long lost dream of crypto as p2p electronic cash.”
HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT:
• No Admin Variables - The revised protocol will rely on open-source algorithms to manage all program variables, such as mining difficulty.
• Mining Multipliers - Staking ORE tokens gives miners a rewards multiplier of up to 100%, based on their proportional stake. This only applies to miners submitting valid hashes and cannot be abused through flash-loans.
• Fixed supply - Like Bitcoin, ORE has a fixed maximum supply of 21M. One ORE will be issued per minute, projecting a fully emitted supply by 2064.
• Sybil Protection - In the relaunched protocol, miners will maximize rewards by submitting the most difficult hash possible. This is expected to discourage sybil miners and mitigate network congestion.
• Accessible Hash Function - A new hash function closes the performance gap between high-end hardware and consumer devices, lowering ORE mining’s barrier to entry.
• Client Software - OreSupply has revamped its software to improve performance and reliability. HardHatChad also promised to launch client software that will be compatible with the Solana Saga mobile device.
• Immutable Contract - Once mining dynamics have stabilized, the OreSupply contract will be permanently frozen, meaning that no further changes can be implemented to its code.
The OreSupply team hopes that by implementing these changes, the protocol will be better suited to wider adoption within the Solana ecosystem.

Crypto Community Smug About Global IT Outage, But Does Blockchain Actually Fix This?
A software bug invoked international hysteria when a bug in a Windows content update shut down banks, airlines, and emergency services.
Showcasing the world’s reliance on centralized systems, a global IT outage brought the world to its knees. Across the planet, major service providers like banks, supermarkets, and logistics companies found themselves unable to operate, causing significant disruption.
Eager to prove its relevance, the crypto community was quick to launch a tirade of smug comments. “Crypto fixes this” was heard across social media platforms, with crypto advocates championing blockchain as an obvious solution to singular points of failure.
But is that truly the case? While decentralization aims to eliminate centralized points of failure, would blockchain solutions actually have prevented this widespread technical meltdown?
What Happened?
The chaos began when CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity provider, pushed a defective single content update to Windows hosts. The bug affected millions of Microsoft Windows devices all over the world, causing infinite reboot loops and leaving users staring at Windows’ infamous BSoD (Blue Screen of Death).
Attempting to bring clarity to the situation CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz, released a statement on 𝕏. Assuring affected users that “this is not a security incident or cyberhack”, the CEO claims that “the issue has been identified, isolated, and a fix has been deployed”.
While Kurtz has indicated that a fix has been deployed, Windows users globally report still being unable to access their devices.
Fortunately, savvy developers were on hand to remedy the situation and provide timely solutions.
Affected users can reboot their Windows devices in Safe Mode and delete the defective update file, or wait until CrowdStrike implemented resolution is distributed.
CRWD stock
In traditional markets, CrowdStrike stock (CRWD) suffered a crippling blow, down 8.82% in today’s trading, based on NASDAQ data. While this might seem insignificant when compared to crypto’s volatility, price movements of this scale are uncommon in traditional markets.
Does Crypto Really Fix This?
The crypto community wasted no time calling out the flaws of centralized systems and singular points of failure. Citing mass outages like today’s as evidence that decentralized systems are the future of infrastructure, crypto advocates were quick to leverage the event as an example of “Bitcoin fixes this”.
However, not all pockets of the crypto community were in agreement. Several blockchain developers and engineers highlighted that in this specific example, pushing bugged code to production would likely have the same effect to blockchain networks.
Despite the specifics and technicalities, the event serves as a powerful reminder of the flaws in centralized services and singular points of failure. Commentators remarked that society’s reliance on centralized companies and infrastructure providers doesn’t bode well for our future.
This belief reinforces the viability of DePin technology, which aims to distribute services across a variety of independent providers and establish more secure and reliable infrastructure. Frank Mathis, founder of GenesysGo, highlights the importance of conducting rigorous security checks before pushing software updates.
Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology may not have been a direct solution to this particular problem. However, global outages like the CrowdStrike defect help to promote discussion around the benefits of decentralization and distributed systems.

IP remains stuck in an outdated legal system that makes it difficult to license, monetize, & trade effectively
That's where StoryProtocol comes in -- a new blockchain that aims to transform IP into liquid, programmable, & ownable digital assets
A 101 Explainer👇
What is Story Network?
Story Network was created specifically for bringing IP onchain, making it easier to manage and monetize.
On Story Network, IP is represented as onchain assets called IP Assets, which are NFTs. These NFTs carry detailed metadata about the underlying IP and serve as its digital representations. They can be linked to existing NFTs, e.g. a CryptoPunk, or be issued to represent offchain items.
Each IP Asset is linked to an IP Account, a specialized smart contract that manages interactions and data related to the IP.
Also at the heart of Story Network is its Proof-of-Creativity (PoC) Protocol, which facilitates the creation and management of IP Assets, enabling use cases like permissionless licensing and automated royalty payments.
Another key pillar here is the Programmable IP License (PIL), a legal framework that bridges the onchain world with traditional legal systems, ensuring that the digital representation of IP on Story Network is enforceable in the real world.
How is Story Network designed?
Story Network is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain optimized for handling complex IP data structures efficiently that leans on elements from both the ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and the cosmos
SDK.
Notably, Story Network is EVM-equivalent, meaning it supports the same code execution environment as Ethereum. This compatibility allows developers to port existing applications and smart contracts written in Ethereum's popular Solidity programming language to Story Network with minimal or no changes.
Why tokenize IP on Story Network?
Tokenizing IP on Story Network offers several notable benefits:
🌊 Liquidity — IP can be traded or used as collateral, creating new financial opportunities.
🧱 Programmability — Automated actions like royalty payments can be embedded within IP NFTs, simplifying management.
🔍 Transparency — The underlying blockchain provides a clear and immutable record of IP ownership and transactions.
These are compelling pillars for content creators, but what will the actual use cases look like?
For instance, artists, musicians, writers, and beyond can register their IP as NFTs on Story Network, set licensing terms, and automate royalty payments. This makes it easier to control and monetize their work.
For developers, they can build applications that leverage tokenized IP. Think things like AI model marketplaces, content remixing platforms, and DeFi apps that use IP NFTs as collateral.
Two of the earliest app examples in the Story ecosystem are Magma and Mahojin. The former is a collaborative design tool that uses Story Network to manage and monetize creative works via NFTs, while the latter is a platform for AI training data and models.
Zooming out
How might making IP programmable and liquid influence the interaction between creators and consumers? Will tokenizing and trading IP democratize access to creative works? And how effectively can the PIL system adapt to diverse global legal landscapes, especially as AI-generated content becomes more prevalent?
The answers to these questions remain to be seen, but Story Network is diving in here in unprecedented fashion and looking to revolutionize the future of digital IP through the cryptoeconomy. As the chain evolves and gains traction, its bull case is its potential to redefine IP management to be better in line with the content challenges of the 21st century.
Can Story win out, then? We'll see, but this innovative reach into a new terrain is exciting nonetheless!

Automated scalping strategy update #3
As expected, I was able to gain very good insights with the actual market conditions
➳ With many red trades, I realized many errors were left into the code, I had to really carefully examine the trades and this allowed me better positionning for lower volume market conditions.
➳ By reducing the amount of trades with important filters, we can have a higher ratio of winners vs losers.
➳ Security and momentum are the key components of the strategy, since I am not sniping tokens launch.
➳ How to find good momentum will follow in another update.

Is OP_CAT the missing piece for BTC L2s?
This opcode has everyone talking; what does it do?
A beginner's guide 👇
Bitcoin L2s are the talk of the town, but not much of their promise has been realized yet.
What are Bitcoin's builders waiting for?
One significant proposal could help mature the Bitcoin L2 landscape: the reintroduction of OP_CAT. This opcode, which was disabled early in Bitcoin's history, could unlock new capabilities and pave the way for more sophisticated and trustless Bitcoin L2 solutions.
Let's dig into why this opcode could be so transformative for BTC 👇
What is OP_CAT?
Okay, so why is this seemingly random opcode so controversial? OP_CAT, or "Operation Concatenate" is an opcode in Bitcoin's scripting language that allows for the concatenation of two data elements.
Initially proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto, OP_CAT was disabled in 2010 due to security concerns related to its original implementation, specifically potential denial-of-service (DoS) attacks caused by unbounded memory usage.
The introduction of the Taproot upgrade in 2021 has mitigated these original concerns. Taproot enforces a maximum stack element size of 520 bytes, addressing the memory usage issue that led to OP_CAT's deactivation. With this security improvement and resurgent Bitcoin development interest, thanks to Ordinals and Runes, a movement to reintroduce OP_CAT to enhance Bitcoin's scripting capabilities is gaining steam, aiming to put more complex transaction capabilities in reach.
Are Covenants and Smart Contracts Different?
One reason why OP_CAT is so compelling is because it can actualize covenants, i.e. spending conditions, on Bitcoin. Covenants and smart contracts are both mechanisms for controlling the flow of funds in a blockchain network, but they operate in distinct ways.
Covenants:
Purpose: Restrict how funds can be spent in future transactions.
Functionality: Implement specific spending constraints, such as limiting addresses or setting conditions on fund transfers.
Complexity: Generally involves simpler, deterministic logic without loops or complex computations.
Implementation: Can be implemented using Bitcoin Script with enhancements like OP_CAT.
Smart Contracts:
Purpose: Automate a wide range of processes and transactions.
Functionality: Handle complex tasks such as decentralized exchanges, token issuance, and multi-party agreements.
Complexity: Support complex conditional logic, including loops and intricate computations.
Implementation: Commonly implemented on platforms like Ethereum using high-level programming languages.
Why Does OP_CAT Matter for Bitcoin L2s?
OP_CAT would prove crucial for advancing Bitcoin L2 solutions because it enhances the scripting capabilities needed for more complex and trustless Bitcoin infra. First, OP_CAT allows for covenants, enabling the construction of more complex scripts. This is essential for creating advanced transaction conditions and functionalities required for L2 solutions.
Additionally, if OP_CAT is activated, projects like StarkWareLtdare on standby to develop atop it. StarkWare has plans to leverage OP_CAT for bringing zero-knowledge (ZK) scaling to #Bitcoin to enable advanced financial instruments and apps on the network. StarkWare’s involvement here underscores the broader ecosystem's readiness to capitalize on the enhanced capabilities that OP_CAT would introduce.
As such, as the community continues to explore and test the possibilities around this proposal, the future of Bitcoin L2s looks promising and ripe with potential. At this point, reactivating OP_CAT seems like a matter of when not if!
