MIDL allows users to interact with robust EVM-level smart contracts using their own Bitcoin wallets without linking assets or leaving the Bitcoin network.
Bitcoin has been around for 17 years. For the most of it, it did one thing really well: exist.
Now it's becoming a builder's playground. Here's how we got here:
———
> 2009: Genesis block mined. Bitcoin launches as p2p electronic cash.
> 2017: SegWit activates. Block capacity increases, Lightning Network foundation laid.
> 2021: Taproot upgrade. Enables more complex scripts, unlocks programmability potential.
> 2023: Ordinals protocol launches. Bitcoin becomes home for art and culture.
> April 2024: Runes protocol goes live. We get one step closer to a real token economy.
> 2024-2025: Bitcoin L2 wave. Execution environments emerge in parallel to bring smart contracts to Bitcoin in native
> 2025: $54B flows into corporate Bitcoin treasuries. 194 public companies hold BTC. Infrastructure builders arrive in force.
> 2026: Ecosystem maturation. Native Bitcoin DeFi products, programmable Ordinals, Runes gradually gaining utility.

15 years to build the foundation.
2 years to start building the economy.
We're not early to Bitcoin. We're early to what Bitcoin becomes.
Meet in the MIDL: Women in Bitcoin 🔥
To celebrate the upcoming International Women’s Day, tomorrow spaces episode will be dedicated to the women who relentlessly shape our ecosystem. Builders, artists, community leaders, and the voices of greatness feat @midladyyy & @proofofcar.
We'll be discussing their journeys, contributions, and what it takes to build in Bitcoin's still-young eco.
This ecosystem wouldn't be what it is without their work. See ya tomorrow!
No more worrying about bridges. No more switching chains.
No more guessing which wrapped version of which token is the real one.
What you see is what you use, on the most secure blockchain in the world.
The potential has always been there.
The liquidity has always been there.
What was missing was the connection, the infrastructure that unlocks it all.
$MIDL makes that connection real.
Vibe Hackers, keep patience: our judges are almost ready with the final results and we’re preparing for the grand reveal 🤔
In the meanwhile, let’s form our own judging council: try to guess the final ranking in the replies.
Can you guess all 5? 👇
the @midl_xyz VibeHack ended yesterday
some very nice projects have been built!
few examples:
- SouHub: rewarding Midl onchain activity with reputation + tokens (built by @JohnsonEnyenih2 )
- BitVote: decentralized polling platform built on Bitcoin via Midl Protocol.
- Bitcoin Escrow: escrow functionality to Bitcoin transactions using Midl infrastructure.
- SatsProcure: manage inter-business procurement invoices with Solidity smart contracts on Bitcoin.
and many more
SoulHub is my fav
it would strenghten the Midl ecosystem and bring volumes
