Substack marks a pivotal advancement in blockchain technology, merging the unparalleled security and widespread adoption of Bitcoin with the flexible capabilities of smart contracts. As a layer above Bitcoin, Substack provides a platform for developers and users to build and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) using BTC directly.
Substack, a Bitcoin Layer 2 solution, aims to broaden Bitcoin’s use cases beyond just a store of value and medium of exchange by incorporating smart contracts and dApps into the Bitcoin network. This initiative allows for a decentralized, secure, and innovative space for both financial and non-financial applications, ranging from decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms to non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces, all while upholding the core values that establish Bitcoin as the premier digital asset.
