True Defi
TAP is the only Bitcoin programmability layer that delivers truly decentralized execution and data availability.
Having pioneered L1 Co-processing
Having pioneered L1 Co-processing for Bitcoin, TAP also provides the most advanced suite of Bitcoin tooling, without the need for any custodial architecture.
Bitcoin, but Smarter
Tap provides the most expressive Bitcoin token-standard and 1-TX transfers. Fully-programmable, native assets, that enable advanced applications to be built directly on Bitcoin, with users retaining full self-custody at all times.
Bitcoin, but Beyond
TAP's direct integration with the Trac Network Layer 1, uniquely enables TAP assets to seamlessly flow into any lightning fast, peer-to-peer Trac app. This opens up secure, cross-chain opportunities for Bitcoin builders, while still guaranteeing users full self-custody of their assets, directly on Bitcoin.
WHAT MAKES TAP UNIQUE
CORE FEATURES
No UTXO Stress
TAP’s account-based model removes friction and costs associated with UTXO complexity — build Bitcoin apps that just work.
Efficient Distribution
TAP supports highly cost-efficient L1 airdrops, 1-TX Transfers and ‘Multi-Send’, which enables multiple assets to be sent to multiple wallet addresses.
Bitcoin AMMs
TAP’s Layer 1 AMMs enable p2p swaps and liquidity pools that are fully-decentralized, and that provide all users with full self-custody. TAP achieved Bitcoin’s first-ever L1 AMM in October 2024.
Mempool Protection
Any app can leverage TAP’s protocol level protection via its Rebar Shield integration. Builders can easily eliminate frontrunning and other MEV-related attacks within their apps, without having to develop it themselves.
TAP Authorities
Token Authorities enable tokens with fully-programmable logic. Privilege Authorities enable onchain whitelists and sniper-proof mints.
Multi-Language Support
Build contracts in your preferred language, including Javascript, TypeScript, Rust & Python.
Digital Matter (DMT)
In addition to classic Ordinals and TAP tokens, TAP Protocol also supports the DMT asset class. DMT tokens and collectibles (eg. NatCats & $NAT), can be triggered by, and anchored to block data, allowing for Bitcoin itself to non-arbitrarily generate them.
Miner Sustainability
Leveraging the Bitcoin Digital-Matter framework, TAP’s token-redirect mechanism generates additional block rewards for miners. AntPool became the first major mining-pool to transfer/sell some of their rewards.
Pioneering
The foundations for TAP's advanced programmability are two groundbreaking Bitcoin innovations:
Tapping
A 'Tap' is like a smart signature that encodes both the desired outcome, and the rules under which it can happen. Tapping enables conditional Layer 1 logic, multi-step workflows, automations, and DeFi-like functionality natively on Bitcoin.
L1 Co-Processing
TAP contracts can leverage logic from other major L1 chains — a highly secure method of achieving Bitcoin programmability. Even if an L1 being leveraged for co-processing were to shutdown in the future, all user assets would still remain securely stored directly on Bitcoin.
