The AI x Crypto narrative is on a tear and
bittensor_
's $TAO token is leading the way 🚀

Here's why 👇

======================

As one of the most prominent projects in this space, Bittensor is positioning itself as the project to watch.

At its core, Bittensor is pushing a new frontier: creating a decentralized network where AI models can be trained and shared in a way that aligns incentives for both developers and users.

As the subnet limit is progressively expanded — and eventually removed altogether — the potential for exponential growth within the Bittensor ecosystem becomes clear. More subnets mean more AI models, more collaboration, and more growth for the ecosystem.

Crucially, all this activity increases demand for TAO itself. Since TAO is required to acquire any subnet token, the introduction of dTAO could further fuel its demand, making Bittensor even more attractive to investors.

TAO’s Halving in 2025
Bittensor is approaching its first halving event, slated for late 2025. Much like Bitcoin’s halving cycles, this event will cut the rate at which new TAO tokens are emitted by half.

Currently, the Bittensor network emits 1 TAO as block rewards (7,200 TAO daily) which are distributed among miners, validators, subnet owners, and delegators. However, when the halving occurs (triggered when 10.5 million TAO are in circulation), this emission will be halved to 0.5 TAO per block, reducing the daily supply of new TAO entering the market.

Why does this matter? When the supply of TAO is cut, it introduces scarcity. In any market, reduced supply with steady or rising demand (thanks to increasing subnets and introduction of dTAO) can only lead in one direction: upward.

Now let’s take a look at the macro level things happening in the world of AI that are considered positive for AI x crypto projects like Bittensor.

Issues with OpenAI
OpenAI is at a crossroads. Recently, news broke that OpenAI is transitioning from a non-profit control to a for-profit benefit corporation. Following this restructuring, the company’s valuation has soared to over $150 billion and they’ve raised $6 .6 billion in fresh funding.

Additionally, there’s been recent departures of key executives, including Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati and two other senior executives, raising concerns about potential internal issues.

Nonetheless, there is a broad regulatory squeeze on AI from various jurisdictions worldwide. The fact that centralized AI is subject to regulatory control highlights a fundamental flaw: it's too easy to control.

When a few large companies hold the keys to centralized AI, they become prime targets for government pressure and censorship. This is where decentralized AI platforms, like Bittensor, have the advantage. They cannot be shut down or censored by any single entity, as no one entity controls it.

Closing Thoughts
There’s a lot going right for Bittensor, and the rising token price is just the cherry on top. With existing momentum, the upcoming updates mentioned above, potential EVM support, and ongoing community development – such as the rapid integration of NousResearch’s breakthrough in distributed training into Bittensor – these are all strong indicators of Bittensor’s promise.

In a world where centralized AI is increasingly regulated, censored, and driven by profit motives, Bittensor offers a compelling alternative: a decentralized, community-driven approach that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and shared incentives. And that’s why it’s worth keeping an eye on.

'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.

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.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SOLANA BREAKPOINT DAY TWO

Solana Breakpoint Day One set a rapid pace, with milestone announcements about Firedancer, key product updates from Jupiter, and trillion-dollar asset manager Franklin Templeton disclosing its intention to build a mutual fund on Solana.

Despite the high expectations following a blistering Day One, Day Two kept the momentum alive and delivered plenty of showstopping announcements.

COINBASE TO LAUNCH cbBTC ON SOLANA
Coinbase, one of the industry’s most popular centralized exchanges, announced its intention to deploy its wrapped version of Bitcoin on the Solana network. Since launching on Ethereum and Base just a few weeks earlier, cbBTC has quickly climbed the ranks to become the third-largest wrapped Bitcoin token in the market.

The move is expected to bring more of Bitcoin’s deep liquidity to Solana, where cbBTC can be integrated into various DeFi applications and increase capital efficiency on the network.

FIREDANCER LIVE ON MAINNET FOR NON-VOTE TRANSACTIONS
FireDancer may have stolen the show on Day One, but the Jump Crypto developers weren’t content to stop there. Firedancer’s Research and Development Architect, Phillip Taffet, and Production Engineer Anway De announced that the full Firedancer validator client was now live on the Solana mainnet for non-vote transactions.

But that wasn’t all that the Firedancer team had in store. A live demo also demonstrated the Frankendancer client executing 1.04M transactions per second.

MAGIC EDEN UNVEILS NEW FEATURES
Magic Eden, the blockchain industry’s largest NFT marketplace across all chains in terms of trading revenue, outlined some of its future plans.

Showcasing a more composable cross-chain ecosystem Magic Eden teased new features like the ability to swap fungible assets on one chain for non-fungible assets on a completely different network.

In a move that didn’t surprise anyone, Magic Eden also announced that its upcoming $ME token will be launched on Solana.

deBridge ANNOUNCES TGE
The deBridge ($DBR) token airdrop has been one of the most anticipated TGEs in recent months.

To thunderous applause from a captivated audience, deBridge co-founder Alex Smirnov announced that $DBR is scheduled to go live on the 17th of October.

Smirnov also used his time in the spotlight to share a wealth of new product features coming to the deBridge application, including gasless bridging and the integration of new chains live Bitcoin and Tron.

BONK ETP
One of Solana’s favorite memecoins, BONK made its presence known at Breakpoint. But beyond the BONK boxing ring, BONK core contributor Nom highlighted the prolific growth of the Bonk brand, which has secured impressive partnerships across the Web2 world, like its sponsorship of Borussia Dortmund.

Affirming BONK’s rise from memecoin, to cultural movement, to financial entity, Nom also announced the team’s intention to launch a BONK ETP. The move is believed to be a precursor to an eventual BONK ETF.

SANCTUM ANNOUNCES BIG UPDATES
Sanctum, the Solana DeFi powerhouse bringing greater flexibility to LST (Liquid Staking Tokens), announced several exciting updates.

First, Sanctum co-founder FP Lee introduced ‘Creator Coins’, a novel spin on LSTs that provides new tools for individuals, communities, and businesses to build, grow, and monetize their audiences.

Lee also announced the upcoming launch of a Sanctum card. Conceived in collaboration with BasedApp and Jupiter, the Cloud Card is expected to facilitate real-world payments using Solana-based crypto assets.

Finally, the Sanctum founder also shared that the platform’s polarizing incentives campaign, Wonderland, would be making its return soon with a second season of rewards.

🚨 A major security issue in Bitcoin Core would affect 17% of the network which could be exposed to a denial of service attack.

All software prior to Bitcoin Core version 24.0.1 may be at risk.

Although very serious, few known exploits of this bug exist as it is quite costly.

However, this is a security flaw that could be exploited by an extremely wealthy, powerful, or sophisticated actor, such as a nation, that wanted to disrupt Bitcoin operations for non-financial reasons

Sentiment is down, and critics have been quick to point out ETH's underperformance against SOL while largely attributing this to a perceived loss of mindshare and users to L2s.

This narrative has sparked a crucial debate: Are L2s Ethereum?

arjunnchand
brings the analysis...

========================================

🤔 Symbiotic or Separatist?
L2s have been a core component of Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap from the very beginning. They were envisioned as extensions (technical and cultural) of Ethereum, designed to expand its capabilities and attract a broader user base.

At their core, L2s are deeply linked with Ethereum. They share its DNA — relying on ETH as the currency, benefitting from Ethereum's security blanket, and utilizing it for data storage and settlement. It's like a startup leveraging its parent company's infrastructure and brand recognition, a win-win for both.

The symbiotic relationship between L2s and Ethereum is undeniable. L2s thrive on Ethereum's infrastructure and security, while Ethereum benefits from the increased activity and increased demand for ETH, making it a better store of value.

By offering lower fees and faster transaction times, L2s have made it easier for developers to build different types of applications. Look at the explosion of memecoins on Base or the rise of SocialFi platforms like Farcaster creating new markets for users.

Beyond that, L2s are becoming major hubs for DeFi activity, and ETH, the asset, is at the heart of this ecosystem. Look at the numbers:
arbitrum
,
Optimism
,
@base
— these chains are dominated by ETH-related assets.

🧛‍♂️ Vampire attack?
However, one of the primary arguments against the rollup-centric approach to scaling Ethereum is the assumption that L2s may not continue to rely on Ethereum. Sure, L2s and Ethereum seem like a happy family now. But what if L2s build their own empires and ditch Ethereum altogether? No more relying on Ethereum for security, no more ETH as gas, not even needing Ethereum's block space.

This "L2s go rogue" fear is a legitimate concern. Technically, they could build independent ecosystems with their own validators as they would then be able to own the entire modular blockchain stack. So, is this the future – a messy breakup between L2s and Ethereum? Not necessarily.

We can all agree that there are perhaps a few too many L2s. Too many copycats. Too little differentiation. It's like a thousand startups chasing the same market, all promising the same thing. This isn't healthy.

What we need are L2s that matter. L2s that offer something unique, something that sets them apart. Security, app diversity, GTM strategy — these are the areas where we need to see real innovation.

But we must be wary of ‘echo chambers’. These zones of chains should not become isolated universes. A healthy L2 ecosystem is one where chains work together, not in isolation. We need bridges, not moats.

We need collaboration. We need communication. We need education. We need incentives. We need to build shared infrastructure and standards that foster seamless connectivity across L2s. Only then can we truly win together.

💭 Closing Thoughts
You can say that L2s aren’t Ethereum. You can argue L2s aren’t even extensions of Ethereum. But you cannot deny the fact that L2s enhance the utility of Ethereum and ETH.

The "L2s vs. Ethereum" debate is a false dichotomy. This isn't a zero-sum game. Ultimately, Ethereum and L2s are in this together. Let's build a future where Ethereum and L2s thrive as a symbiotic whole, and push the crypto ecosystem forward.

AMERICA AND BITCOIN
A historical speech. Here is Donald Trump's full speech at the Bitcoin Conference with timestamps and transcript.

TIMESTAMPS
1:36 - Shoutouts to David Bailey, Winklevosses, Michael Saylor, Cathie Wood, Ron Paul and Rand Paul, Vivek, and the victims of the July 13 assassination attempt.

7:00 - How Bitcoin rose from an idea on an anonymous message board to the 9th most valuable asset in the world.

10:00 - America is a nation in decline, and we cannot let China dominate Bitcoin. The US must lead in tech, science, manufacturing, AI, space, and power generation.

14:50 - Bitcoin will be mined, minted, and made in the USA. If it goes to the moon, it'll get there from America.

16:20 - How the Biden/Harris administration has waged war on crypto for the last three and a half years, by choking off banking support.

22:00 - The Biden/Harris administration is against Bitcoin, because it stands for freedom, sovereignty, and independence from government coercion and control.

25:00 - The day Trump takes the oath of office, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto crusade will be done. He will fire Gary Gensler on day one!

27:57 - Trump commits to immediately shutting down Operation Chokepoint 2.0, and creating a Bitcoin and Crypto Presidential Advisory Council. In 100 days, fair rules written by people who want crypto to thrive.

29:28 - There will never be a CBDC. And he will defend the right to self-custody, freedom of transaction, freedom of association, and freedom of speech.

30:25 - He'll support USD stablecoins and global savings in Bitcoin. And he recognizes that the behavior of the current US government is the threat to the dollar, not Bitcoin.

35:30 - Biden/Harris has presided over the biggest inflation in the history of America.

38:30 - Inflation destroyed Weimar Germany. Bitcoiners understood inflation better than anyone else. Inflation is stealth taxation, a national disgrace.

43:30 - Make the US the lowest cost energy producer in the world, given its natural resources, and turn it into a Bitcoin mining powerhouse. Americans will not need to move to China.

44:20 - The US government has violated the cardinal rule: never sell your Bitcoin. He will stop the US government from selling its Bitcoin. This will serve as the core of the strategic national Bitcoin stockpile.

46:00 - He will commute the life sentence of Ross Ulbricht to time served.

46:26 - He commits to becoming the pro-innovation, pro-Bitcoin, and pro-tech president that America deserves. And will make America and Bitcoin stronger, richer, freer, and greater than ever before.

Premiere:

After two days of trading, we’re diving into the ETH ETF's performance 📊

Plus, speculative rumors around Trump potentially putting Bitcoin in the Fed balance sheet as a reserve asset abound while surprising survey results show that BTC owners might not be as hardcore right-wing as you might think...

How to start restaking on symbioticfi

A 101 Explainer 👇

EigenLayer changed the game by introducing the restaking primitive to the Ethereum ecosystem, yet it was only a matter of time until challengers rose up and started trying to beat EigenLayer at its own game!

The big challenger making a big splash lately is Symbiotic, a new restaking protocol that aims to offer restakers more options beyond just ETH.

What Is Symbiotic?
Launched in June 2024, Symbiotic is a shared security protocol for network builders to create and manage their own staking implementations in a permissionless fashion.

In other words, Symbiotic lets networks customize their staking processes, collateral types, node operator selection, rewards, and slashing mechanisms, all while maintaining security through non-upgradeable core contracts on Ethereum.

Notably, Symbiotic is already the second-largest restaking protocol behind only EigenLayer. Yet unlike EigenLayer, which is centered around ETH, Symbiotic offers a wide array of collateral options for more flexibility.

How Does Symbiotic Work?
Symbiotic operates through the coordination of its five main pillars. These elements are as follows:

🪙 Collateral — The onchain assets used to provide economic security in Symbiotic. These can include ERC20 tokens, Ethereum validator withdrawal credentials, and other assets across various blockchains.
🛅 Vaults — These customizable components act as Symbiotic’s delegation and restaking layer. They handle deposits, withdrawals, slashings, and reward distributions.
🦸 Operators — The entities that run infrastructure for networks, such as validators and sequencers. Operators can opt into networks and receive economic backing from restakers through vaults.

Why Symbiotic?
It makes sense that there won’t just be one winner in the restaking category. And among the field of contenders, Symbiotic currently looks like the protocol best positioned to give EigenLayer a run for its money in the months ahead.

That said, if you’re generally bullish on restaking, then Symbiotic is a project to consider because it’s early, promising, and has plenty of potential to grow with its differentiation via ERC-20 support.

Of course, a Symbiotic airdrop is also a likelihood not to be ignored. EigenLayer has $EIGEN , and it seems inevitable that the Symbiotic Points system will be used to go a similar route in facilitating an airdrop of a native token to early users. Restake now; get paid later.

Lastly, there are some interesting Symbiotic integrations live today that offer double-whammy earning opportunities. One is
mellowprotocol, a liquid restaking token (LRT) project offering Mellow Points and Symbiotic Points to users who deposit into Symbiotic through its platform.

How to Restake on Symbiotic
If you’re interested in restaking on Symbiotic, head over to https://app.symbiotic.fi/r... and connect your wallet. Note that some regions are geo-blocked from accessing the front end.

On the main “Restaking” page, you’ll see the list of vaults for offer like the one in the picture below. Note that some vaults, like the Wrapped Lido Staked Ether (wstETH) one, have currently reached their temporary deposit limits, while other vaults, e.g., Coinbase Wrapped Staked Ether (cbETH), are still open for depositors.

What's the Deal with MegaETH? 🤔

The upcoming Vitalik-backed L2 wants to be the 'real-time Ethereum'

What's its plan? Find out 👇

MegaETH, an upcoming L2 branded as the “real-time Ethereum” boasting sub-millisecond latency and capable of processing over 100k transactions per seco nd (TPS), just announced that it has received $20M in seed funding at a $100M + valuation!

The big names involved have attracted some major attention to the upstart chain.

Today, we’re discussing how MegaETH is innovating on contemporary Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchain implementations to provide industry-leading performance capabilities and decentralization guarantees.

⭐️ What Makes MegaETH Special
High-performance alt L1s require their nodes to perform identical tasks without specialization, imposing a fundamental tradeoff between performance and decentralization. In comparison, MegaETH takes advantage of Ethereum’s L2s technology to create differentiated roles for nodes with varying hardware requirements.

MegaETH decouples the task of transaction processing from full nodes and creates three major roles for infrastructure operators: sequencers, provers, and full nodes. Although actual block production becomes increasingly centralized with MegaETH, flexible hardware requirements from node specialization ensures trustless block validation and could provide industry-leading decentralization guarantees.

A single active MegaETH sequencer will be responsible for ordering and executing user transactions, eliminating the consensus process during normal operations, and will pass state differences (i.e.; changes to the blockchain’s state) to full nodes via a peer-to-peer network, who then apply the state diffs to update their local state. Notably, MegaETH transactions are not re-executed by full nodes to verify block integrity; they instead validate blocks indirectly using proofs provided by the prover.

While blockchains have frequently turned to one-off solutions like parallelization in their pursuit of scale, enabling transactions touching different parts of state to be processed simultaneously on multiple CPU cores, the benefits of this specific approach are limited by the fact that many transactions contain dependencies, resulting in only modest boosts from parallelization for blockchain speed.

Such ambitions necessitate scaling node hardware to its limits while preserving decentralization (achieved through specialization) and require the creation of a system innately designed to approach the theoretical upper performance limit for a decentralized blockchain.

To this end, the MegaETH sequencer will store the entirety of its state in-memory and be the first blockchain to implement in-memory compute, a critical feature for high-performance Web2 applications that should enable MegaETH to accelerate state access by 1,000x compared to alternative solid state drive storage methods utilized by competitors.

🧐 Closing Thoughts
The significant performance improvements targeted by MegaETH over contemporary EVM implementations should provide a major boost to L2 performance and could finally produce a decentralized blockchain capable of handling real-world adoption!

Although some contend that MegaETH is best suited as a competitor against an Ethereum ecosystem largely uninterested in scaling its base layer, the optimizations achieved by MegaETH are made possible solely through its ability to outsource security and censorship resistance to existing decentralized networks, like Ethereum and EigenLayer.

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!
