KEY POINTS
Burak, a Bitcoin developer known for the creation of a Lightning Network competitor called Ark Protocol last year, has returned with a revolutionary solution — “Brollups.”
How Brollups Work
Brollups offer a new layer 2 scaling solution for Bitcoin. Unlike earlier efforts that necessitated hard forks or added non-Bitcoin tokens, Brollups employ a distinct strategy.
Burak’s creation involves bundling transactions using a rollup design native to Bitcoin. Visualize organizing transactions neatly while maintaining the integrity of the core Bitcoin protocol. There are no forks, no introduction of new tokens — just smooth integration.
The aim is to enhance Bitcoin’s functionality to accommodate a broader range of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
How Does Brollups Work?
Brollups, currently in the design stage, hold the potential to transform interactions with Bitcoin. At its core, Brollups leverages roll-up technology; it doesn’t create a parallel network. Instead, the technology builds upon Bitcoin’s existing infrastructure.
Transactions within the Bitcoin ecosystem are executed with precision, verified for authenticity, scalable in nature, and enforceable. Whether listing an NFT for sale or making a token order on a decentralized exchange, Brollups smoothly manages the process.
Brollups are intricately woven into the fabric of Bitcoin, serving not only as coexisting elements but as an integral payment mechanism. Operators manage Brollups to maintain liquidity within the protocol.
