MAP Protocol is the gateway for users to enter the Bitcoin ecosystem and interact with the entire interoperable blockchain world. Here are some simple steps to help users quickly experience this continuously evolving technology.
MAP Protocol serves as a Bitcoin L2 focused on cross-chain interoperability. It provides the essential infrastructure and components for dApps and projects to achieve interoperability between Bitcoin L2s and other popular public blockchains. Built upon ZK light-client technology, MAP Protocol's interoperable cross-chain solution is peer-to-peer, without any trusted third-party entities. Thus, it transforms isolated Bitcoin Layer 2 networks or blockchains using third-party bridges into an integrated and decentralized Bitcoin ecosystem for application development platform and Web3 user gateway.
By leveraging the security mechanisms of the Bitcoin network, MAP Protocol's security is ensured by the Bitcoin network, and asset cross-chain between Bitcoin L1 and L2 is achieved through the BRC201 protocol. At the same time, through the successful development of cutting-edge ZK-LightClient technology, peer-to-peer interoperability among various Bitcoin L2s, as well as interoperability between other public chains and the Bitcoin network, are achieved.
Similar to the “purely peer-to-peer” Bitcoin network, MAP Protocol’s cross-chain network is also peer-to-peer without going through any third party. The validity of a cross-chain request depends purely on the fact that it has occurred on the source chain, not on decisions or proofs made by trusted third parties.
