Live sports are now available in MetaMask Prediction Markets, powered by @Polymarket.
Take a position mid-match and track your odds in real time - no extra signups required.
We're excited to announce Polymarket has facilitated the first ever on-chain, institutional block trade in the prediction market space.
Institutions using Polymarket to hedge GPU compute exposure at scale give a glimpse into both the future & the promise of prediction markets.
We’re excited to share that @PanteraCapital is leading our $13M Series A to help @Arch build the permissionless financial rails for a Bitcoin-denominated world.
This funding brings us closer to unlocking Solana-like speed for Bitcoin apps, tapping into the $1T+ Bitcoin economy.
How is Arch empowering Solana developers to build Bitcoin’s DeFi renaissance?
Tune in to our Head of Business Development, Pav “@LifeOfPav”, to find out.
Don't let your #Bitcoin gather dust,
Stake your BTC and start earning native yields maybe?
It's nearly time to unleash your crypto's full potential!
Test-net time? 👀@ArchNtwrk
Prediction Markets are coming to Bitcoin!
Until now, trying to launch a project like Polymarket on Bitcoin faced major roadblocks:
❌ No way to settle markets programmatically
❌ Slow block times, making trading inefficient
❌ Reliance on wrapped/bridged BTC
Using Arch, @predictr_market unlocks…
🟠 First-ever Bitcoin native prediction market
🟠 Access to BTC’s $1.2T liquidity—no L2 restrictions
🟠 High-frequency trading & automated market making
🟠 AI-powered oracles for trustless market resolution
With Arch, everything that’s proven successful on ETH + SOL can finally come home to Bitcoin.
We are proud to say @SaitoshiAgent is building on Arch!
Supporting the first AI agent platform being built specifically for Bitcoin, Saitoshi is more than just the $SAI Virtuals token — it’s infrastructure for the future of Bitcoin development and DeFi.
Virtuals + other AI launchpads are already massive successes on other networks.
Are you really going to sleep on the mother chain, anon?

(NO THREAD - DO NOT FALL FOR SCAMS)
Bitcoin has always been about financial freedom, but it's lacked key DeFi infrastructure like lending markets. That changes today with @ChachingDgtl launching on testnet.
By leveraging @archntwrk's infrastructure, Chaching enables the first truly decentralized lending protocol directly on Bitcoin's base layer. This isn't wrapped BTC on another chain - this is native Bitcoin DeFi.
What makes this revolutionary? Chaching introduces peer-to-pool lending, allowing BTC holders to finally put their assets to work - whether it's lending for yield or borrowing against their Bitcoin, all while maintaining Bitcoin's core security and decentralization principles.
The best part? This works for any Bitcoin-native asset - from BTC to Runes to BRC-20s. No bridges, no wrapping, just raw Bitcoin DeFi the way it was meant to be.
Ready to join the future of Bitcoin lending? Check out @ChachingDgtl's testnet launch and earn rewards through the Archstronaut missions at https://t.co/EyR02Z5l5q 🚀
Two years ago, who would have thought that AAVE-style lending could be possible on Bitcoin?
Yet here we are.
Today, @ChachingDgtl is launching on BTC testnet4, using Arch to enable a borrow/lend model that will revolutionize the base layer.
