Welcome to Satori¶
Overview¶
Satori is a next-generation Bitcoin Layer-2 solution that seamlessly integrates Bitcoin’s security and liquidity with the programmability of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). By mirroring every Bitcoin block into an EVM-compatible execution environment, Satori enables full smart contract functionality for Bitcoin, unlocking DeFi, NFTs, tokenization, and more—all while ensuring Bitcoin remains the underlying settlement layer.
Why Satori?¶
Bitcoin is the most secure and widely adopted blockchain, but it lacks advanced programmability. Current Layer-2 solutions either introduce trust assumptions, require centralized bridges, or fail to provide true composability. Satori solves these issues by: - Full Bitcoin Compatibility: Mirroring Bitcoin transactions onto an EVM chain. - Smart Contract Interactivity: Enabling direct interaction with BTC-native assets like Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20. - BTC as the Fee Token: Users pay fees in BTC, ensuring smooth economic integration. - Permissionless L2 Bridge: Anyone can contribute liquidity and participate in bridging BTC without a centralized authority. - UTXO as NFTs: Satori enables Bitcoin UTXOs to be tokenized, tradable, and programmable.
