Use releases for deployments, main branch is for development. Network Status ------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- Mainnet Live (1.0.2) Testnet Live (official testnet, will remain alive after mainnet) Introduction OP NET is a Bitcoin L1 consensus layer that enables smart contracts directly on Bitcoin. It is not a sidechain, not a bridge, and not a metaprotocol. Contracts are deployed, executed, and finalized on Bitcoin itself, with cryptographic proofs guaranteeing that every node arrives at the exact same state. The node runs a deterministic WebAssembly VM that processes contract calls embedded in Bitcoin transactions. State is organized into epochs spanning five consecutive Bitcoin blocks, where Proof of Calculation ensures every participant computes identical results and Proof of Work (SHA-1 near-collision mining) finalizes each epoch into an immutable checkpoint. After 20+ blocks of Bitcoin PoW burial, reversing an epoch's state would cost millions of dollars per hour, making OP NET finality stronger than Bitcoin's standard 6-confirmation model. Unlike indexer-based protocols such as BRC-20, Runes, or Alkanes, where different nodes can disagree on balances with no mechanism to resolve disputes, OP NET enforces agreement through cryptographic consensus. If two nodes produce different checksum roots, one is provably wrong. This makes OP NET suitable for applications th","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/btc-vision","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/btc-vision/opnet-node/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
