Intro
Hyperstate: Unifying Ethereum and Bitcoin Capabilities
Welcome fren! Hyperstate is a Bitcoin Execution layer that seamlessly integrates Bitcoin functionality and the EVM. Our platform empowers developers to harness the strengths of both Ethereum and Bitcoin, opening up a new world of possibilities for decentralized applications.
Why Hyperstate?
Bitcoin, despite its widespread adoption and robust security model, lacks a native virtual machine for complex smart contract execution. This limitation has led to a significant gap in the cryptocurrency ecosystem:
No open, decentralized structure exists for Bitcoin-native trustless economic coordination.
Current solutions often rely on custodial multisigs, systems with low economic security, or networks with few validators.
Many proposed solutions are based on non-existent or unproven technology.
Hyperstate combines the programmability of Ethereum with the security and liquidity of Bitcoin. It offers a decentralized, trustless platform that enables sophisticated economic coordination using Bitcoin, all while leveraging the mature ecosystem of Ethereum development tools and smart contract best practices.
Key Features
Bitcoin Integration: Execute Bitcoin RPC calls directly from your Ethereum smart contracts, enabling true cross-chain functionality.
Unified Security: Benefit from the robust security models of both Ethereum and Bitcoin within a single platform.
Enhanced Scalability: Experience higher throughput and faster confirmation times compared to traditional Layer 1 solutions.
Developer-Centric: Access comprehensive documentation and tools to streamline your cross-chain development process.
