Bitcoin Token Protocol BRC20 Enables EVM-Style Smart Contracts With 'BRC2.0'

Bitcoin's token ecosystem just got its biggest power-up yet—BRC2.0 brings Ethereum-like smart contract functionality directly to the Bitcoin blockchain.

No more sidechains, no more compromises.

How It Works

The upgrade injects EVM-compatible execution into Bitcoin’s core token standard, letting developers deploy sophisticated dApps without leaving the Bitcoin network. Think DeFi, NFTs, and automated agreements—all running on Bitcoin’s security backbone.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just a technical tweak—it’s a paradigm shift. Bitcoin maximalists now have a credible answer to Ethereum’s dApp dominance, while TradFi institutions get a safer, more familiar playground. Finally, Bitcoin does more than just sit there looking expensive.

Of course, the crypto world won’t stop skeptics from asking: “Will this actually get used, or is it just another excuse to print more meme coins?” Some things never change—even on Bitcoin.
