Scale The Future of Bitcoin

HYPER-PERFORMANT

Photon runs on the low latency Bitcoin Virtual Machine (BVM) as its execution environment. It is capable of handling massive-scale transactions. Photon will introduce parallel execution, further enhancing the processing speed.

PORTABILITY & COMPOSABILITY

Photon is a general-purpose L2, bringing full-featured EVM to Bitcoin. EVM developers can easily create or migrate your existing applications without changing the crypto-native experiences.

SECURITY

Our Data Validation module runs on the Bitcoin network, where all transactions within Photon adhere to Bitcoin’s security standards without compromising decentralization.

ULTRA-SCALABLE

We leverage Celetia’s data availability sampling for reduced main chain load to securely scale the transaction processing capabilities without compromising data integrity and availability.

INTEROPERABILITY

Photon's approach of decoupling the core components—consensus, storage, and execution—within its modular architecture enables seamless communication and interaction between diverse applications and chains.
