Interoperability has been trapped in a weird cycle. Big protocols bundled everything - messaging, liquidity, incentives - and now every chain trying to move assets across needs to fit into that stack, whether it makes sense or not. Concero V2 actually breaks this. They unbundled messaging entirely.

Celestia just went live with Matcha mainnet today, and honestly, the scaling picture for modular DA just got materially different. 128MB blocks instead of 8MB - that's a 16x bump in throughput capacity. But inflation went from 5% to 2.5%, and that actually matters more. DA networks live and die on fee economics. You need tighter supply while blockspace stays abundant - that's the combo most projects miss. Celestia's executing both at once.

We tested five major Bitcoin bridges and found that the cost of moving BTC to DeFi and back varies more than sevenfold depending on which provider you choose. The main issue isn't the advertised fees but hidden price slippage that most users don't notice until it hits their wallet. For regular DeFi users, picking the right bridge saves thousands of dollars annually.

How dual-layer protection and $0.01 per cross-chain transaction break down fragmentation and change the economics of DeFi.

Discover how Ducat unlocks BTC’s value through trustless loans on Bitcoin itself. A deep dive into the protocol, its mechanics, and why it matters for BTC-Fi.

Omnity’s REE turns Bitcoin into a place where swaps and liquidity pools run natively. RichSwap, the first AMM on L1, lets you trade BTC and Runes in just a few seconds while your keys never leave your wallet. And every new app can plug straight into shared liquidity, so you don’t need to start from zero.

Bob’s hybrid rollup now runs with Chainlink oracles — price feeds, reserves, stablecoin data and CCIP bridging. It’s the same trusted infra used across DeFi, now powering Bitcoin rails. For devs and institutions, this clears the path to build serious BTCFi apps.

New network added on HighTower – Venture Infrastructure Platform: @Torram_xyz The first complete middleware infra stack for institutional use cases on Bitcoin is now live on our platform.

Concero’s V2 testnet introduces modular cross-chain messaging at scale. Already powering 100+ networks — explore the tutorial and try it in action.

We’re sitting down with the Artura team to talk about their approach to BTC-native perpetuals, synthetic trading, and what it takes to build in the Bitcoin DeFi space.

This time, we have 3 amazing guests, come catch up with @htwtech_, @tokeo_io, @torram_xyz. The infrastructure helpers that make it all work.

If we can connect all chains onchain, why not bring them together on a livestream for you to hear with @chainlink ?

Layer 1 focused on trading. Built for finance - orderbooks, perpetuals, forex, RWAs, all natively supported.

We’re highlighting five more trusted validators securing Somnia’s foundation and helping us scale on-chain.

We built BTCboard to track Bitcoin L2s: projects, staking, stablecoins, quests, news. We just gave it a full upgrade. How does it look now?

Plasma is a new Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for USD₮. It offers zero-fee transfers, EVM compatibility, and inherits Bitcoin’s security. Backed by over $500M from Tether, Bitfinex, and Founders Fund, Plasma is building stablecoin infrastructure from the ground up

Pell is building modular infrastructure for the bitcoin ecosystem that runs without sidechains or forks and actually helps apps scale We’ll talk about how it works, what’s live, what’s coming next and how it all fits into the bigger Bitcoin stack
