In a world where technology often feels like a grand chess match between titans, BRC20 has made a daring move, folding Ethereum’s execution engine into Bitcoin’s token standard at block 912,690. This maneuver promises a future where tokens are not just pieces of digital paper, but living, breathing entities capable of performing complex tasks. 🕵️♂️💡
- BRC2.0 upgrade weaves the fabric of Ethereum’s virtual machine into Bitcoin’s BRC20 token protocol at block 912,690.
- This integration ushers in programmable tokens and smart contract wizardry on Bitcoin, with early backing from the UniSat Wallet gang. 🧙♂️💰
On Sept. 1, Ordinals developer Best in Slot, known for their flair for the dramatic, announced the successful execution of the BRC2.0 upgrade in collaboration with the enigmatic creator, Domo. 🎉,
BRC2.0 is officially live on Bitcoin mainnet.
Bitcoin L1 now has smart contracts, programmability, and 6-byte tickers. ⚡️
The road ahead is paved with new products, features, and airdrops. Stay tuned! 🪂✨

The integration, which went live at Bitcoin block 912,690, grafts the logic of the Ethereum Virtual Machine directly into the protocol’s indexers-those offchain systems that interpret and enforce the rules of the BRC20 standard. The upgrade transforms these once-simple ledgers into sophisticated, Turing-complete execution environments. It’s like turning a bicycle into a Ferrari overnight. 🚗🚴♂️
Why BRC2.0 matters for Bitcoin’s evolution
BRC20, much like other Bitcoin meta-protocols, doesn’t actually operate onchain as one might assume. Instead, it relies on indexers, which Best in Slot CEO Eril Binari Ezerel described as “simple calculators.” But with BRC2.0, those calculators have been replaced by a full-fledged computer, integrating a custom-built Ethereum Virtual Machine execution engine. This allows the indexer to process and execute complex, Turing-complete smart contract code inscribed onto the Bitcoin blockchain, moving far beyond simple balance calculations. 🤖💻
By choosing the EVM, the developers are tapping into the most widely adopted smart contract environment in the world. This means Bitcoin token developers can immediately access an existing arsenal of tools, open-source libraries, and a vast pool of developers already fluent in Solidity. It’s like giving a carpenter a whole new set of power tools. 🔨🛠️
Moreover, it bypasses the need to build an entirely new developer ecosystem from scratch, aiming to rapidly accelerate the development of advanced decentralized applications such as lending protocols and decentralized exchanges directly on Bitcoin. Think of it as adding a jetpack to a bicycle. 🚀🚲
“The holy grail is combining the two gold standards: Bitcoin as the most decentralized and secure network, and the EVM as the most proven virtual machine,” Domo said. “The aim is to give users the Ethereum experience of composability and programmability, but secured by Bitcoin.”
Adoption of this new standard is already underway, a key signal of its potential viability. UniSat, a major Bitcoin wallet and service provider, has already integrated support for BRC2.0 into its extension wallet. 🎉,
🎉 brc2.0 Support is Live on UniSat Extension Wallet (v1.7.3)!
Manage, transfer, and store brc2.0 assets with the same security and simplicity you trust from UniSat.
✅ Universal Address Support – Full brc2.0 compatibility across Taproot, SegWit, and Legacy addresses.
✅…– UniSat – wallet, explorer & extension for bitcoin. (@unisat_wallet) September 1, 2025
This early integration allows users to manage, transfer, and store these new programmable assets, providing the essential infrastructure needed for user interaction and demonstrating significant ecosystem buy-in from a key player. The open-source nature of the execution engine is designed to encourage other indexers to follow suit, preventing fragmentation. It’s like inviting everyone to the party, ensuring no one feels left out. 🥳🎉
