For the past few months, the Bitcoin blockchain has been expanding its functionalities and attracting interest through a clear evolution of its utility. Elevated to the status of a digital store of value by the ecosystem, it had recently faced significant constraints related to script language. The development of tokens, NFTs, and smart contracts was absolutely impracticable. In fact, it was on this major weakness that competitors such as Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, Polkadot, etc., had built their business models and reputation. But things have changed. The Bitcoin network now supports BRC-20 tokens, competitors to Ethereum's ERC-20 tokens, NFTs, and even houses a Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. Witness the evolution of a network undergoing a complete overhaul.
