Tap Protocol has achieved a major milestone by executing the first Bitcoin-native swap directly on Bitcoin Layer 1, according to an Aug. 13 statement shared with CryptoSlate.

This breakthrough is a landmark achievement for Bitcoin as it enables DeFi operations on the leading blockchain without relying on Layer 2 solutions or roll-ups.

The Tap metaprotocol now opens new use cases within the blockchain, including Digital Matter Theory and the facilitation of seamless token swaps, all natively and securely, on Bitcoin.

ICP’s role

Traditionally, Bitcoin has been limited compared to the smart contract and DeFi capabilities of platforms like Ethereum and Solana. Tap Protocol’s innovation changes this by integrating assets directly into its system, bypassing the need to bridge assets across different chains.

Benny, CEO of Tap Protocol, pointed out that ICP was one system that played an important role in the firm’s solution. According to him, the network served as a “powerful and decentralized workhorse, providing authority in a trust-minimized manner.”

He added:

“The breakthrough is that we’ve demonstrated inflationary releases of Layer 2s aren’t necessary—there are already qualified options that can do the job.”

By combining Tap Protocol’s embedding mechanism with ICP’s functionality on Bitcoin, Tap creates a Layer 1 automated market maker (AMM) solution. This approach eliminates the need for bridges, Layer 2 wallets, or wallet switches and avoids dependency on new opcodes like OP_CAT or modified Bitcoin forks.

In contrast to traditional Layer 2 solutions that necessitate moving assets off-chain, Tap Protocol ensures that all operations stay on Bitcoin Layer 1. This preserves Bitcoin’s inherent security while avoiding the complexities and risks associated with Layer 2 protocols.

However, Tap users can still leverage the protocol solution on Layer-2 networks because the platform is layer-agnostic.

Meanwhile, this development further highlights Bitcoin’s evolution from a simple transactional currency to a platform supporting diverse digital assets alongside innovations like Ordinals, BRC20, and Runes.

Bitcoin’s Second Layer Blockchain Tech, the Lightning Network, Not Ready for Mainstream Use Yet

The idea behind the Bitcoin Lightning Network might’ve sounded something like this: we really don’t need to keep a record of every single transaction on the blockchain. Instead, the Lightning Network adds another layer to Bitcoin’s blockchain and enables users to create payment channels between any two parties on that extra layer. These channels can […]
