Midl Piece by Piece: Chapter 1 Midl is not a Layer 2. It’s an Execution Environment for Bitcoin. A Layer 2 creates a separate chain and later settles back to Bitcoin. L2s pull you off Bitcoin, Midl does the opposite. Midl keeps Bitcoin as the source of truth and adds the missing virtual machine designed specifically to interpret, run, and verify smart-contract logic triggered by real Bitcoin transactions. > The hidden engine revs silently for user: Every action begins with a Bitcoin tx that includes an intent, a message describing what the user wants to do. This message is signed with the user’s actual Bitcoin keys. Midl validators are continuously on the watch. When they detect a transaction addressed to Midl’s TSS-controlled vaults, they extract the intent and execute it inside Midl’s VM: an execution environment that runs EVM-style smart contract logic. Validators operate with virtual balances: they mint mirrored assets, execute swaps or contract calls, update states, then burn the virtual balances once execution is complete. After computing the result, validators generate a Bitcoin-native output: a real BTC or Rune transaction sent back to the user. For users, this complexity is invisible: they connect a Bitcoin wallet, sign a normal Bitcoin transaction, and receive native assets back. Midl isn’t an alternative to Bitcoin. But an additional way of how Bitcoin can operate.
