What is the Map Protocol?
MAP Protocol Network is an EVM-compatible blockchain built upon the Proof-of-Stake mechanism and Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus and lives on MAP Protocolโs Protocol Layer. It proactively extends and supports heterogeneous blockchains' features in the virtual machine and constructs a gas-efficient light-client verification network.
MAP Protocol provides the essential omnichain infrastructure for achieving interoperability among blockchain-based assets, storage, and computing. Built upon the light client and zero-knowledge proof technology, our interoperable cross-chain solution is peer-to-peer, without any trusted third-party entities. The MAP Protocol network serves as a Web3 user gateway and developer portal, empowering users and developers to use and build anything cross-chain in a peer-to-peer way.
You can create a MAP Protocol account from anywhere, at any time, and explore omnichain apps or build your own. The core innovation is that you can do all things cross-chain without trusting a central authority that could change the rules or restrict your access.
How does Map Protocol support the Bitcoin ecosystem?
- EVM Compatibility: Map Protocol enables Bitcoin to seamlessly integrate with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and its surrounding ecosystem, enhancing compatibility and interoperability between the two networks.
- Bitcoin Ecosystem Growth: As a Bitcoin Layer-2 solution, MAP Protocol facilitates seamless interaction between assets from various chains and the Bitcoin network. This integration expands the Bitcoin ecosystem and community by incorporating diverse assets and communities.
- Interoperable On-chain Storage and Computing: In addition to facilitating asset transfers, MAP Protocol broadens interoperability to encompass on-chain storage and computing resources. This enables dApp developers to effectively utilize services across multiple blockchains.
- Cross-chain Interoperability with BRC-201: Through MAP Protocol's BRC-201, a cross-chain extension protocol for BRC-20 tokens, assets like BRC-20 and ORC-20 on the Bitcoin network gain the ability to engage with tokens on other public chains. This enhancement in cross-chain interoperability within the Bitcoin network will contribute to the overall growth of the Bitcoin community. Through MAP Protocol, developers can seamlessly integrate various blockchain components, enabling the construction of apps where all operations are on-chain. This provides users with complete control over their data and assets across multiple chains.
- Empowering Gamers: MAP Protocol enables GameFi projects to achieve more than just tradable and interoperable gaming assets across all chains. It extends to encompass all aspects of game state, logic, and data on the blockchain, creating an autonomous gaming environment. This empowers players with full agency and allows them to contribute to the game's development, transforming blockchain gaming into a self-sustaining ecosystem.
