To be honest: Bitcoin has always been treated like an expensive safe. Secure? Absolutely. But also painfully slow. Most people only touch it when it hits the headlines during massive price surges (or crashes).
Now, there’s a protocol aiming to change this—but not by undermining Bitcoin’s foundation. Its logic is actually quite straightforward: keep BTC as secure as steel, while making it truly active on-chain.
Sounds simple? In reality, it’s extremely challenging.
What’s the key? Holders don’t have to hand over their private keys to a custodian. Nor do they have to shuffle assets back and forth across chains every time they want to make a move. This is the real breakthrough—your coins are still your coins, but they’re no longer just gathering dust in your wallet. Liquidity and security, finally both at once.

The security of the private key is the most important.
