1/ There's more than one way to build on Bitcoin and not all of them are trying to be Ethereum with extra steps. @citrea_xyz @ArchNtwrk @BotanixLabs

2/ Citrea, Arch, Botanix - they each interact with the Bitcoin base layer differently and all aim to bring smart contract functionality in their own way. 

Some inscribe proofs, some don't bridge at all, some checkpoint EVM into BTC.

3/ This thread breaks down how they work - no rankings, no fanboying, just technical differences.

Great thread! Exploring these projects' unique approaches to integrating smart contracts on Bitcoin highlights the ecosystem's diversity and innovative potential. Looking forward to more insights.
