We have an insanely insightful conversation with Bob Bodily PhD, Founder of Bioniq, an NFT/Ordinals marketplace built using ICP to amplify the user experience beyond anything that can exist natively to Bitcoin L1. We discuss the current state of Bitcoin ecosystem affairs with Runes and Ordinals, as well as talk about the many metaprotocols developing on top of Bitcoin L1. We then discuss TAP Protocol’s most recent announcement to partner with ICP in order to bring Bitcoin native assets to EVM/ICP smart contract environments. This will amplify the ability for developers to make cool stuff using Bitcoin and introduce new ways to improve the overall UX for users. We also discuss the differing approaches to scaling the developments happening on Bitcoin from L2s, to sidechains, to BitVM and OP_cat.
