Creating the First Bitcoin Settlement Layer
Photon Router
Addressing the gaps left by Metaprotocols, i.e. Runes, Ordinals, and BRC-20, by facilitating the fluid transfer of these assets into our ecosystem and setting the stage for broader use cases and enhanced efficiency, all while maintaining their trustless and permissionless nature.
Bridge Natively Across Chains
PBTC is built to optimize liquidity pathways from Bitcoin to Photon and expand Bitcoin's utility, flexibility, and interconnectivity. Backed by BTC with best-in-class security practices.
Coupled with Photon Bridge to enable seamless interactions and value transfers across various blockchain networks.
RuneScribe
A first-of-its-kind, novel mechanism designed to facilitate the transfer of Photon’s fungible tokens to Bitcoin with Runes Protocol. Unlock additional token utility and access native Bitcoin liquidity.
Driving Ecosystem Adoption With $PTON Initiatives
Photon Ecosystem
Scale The Future of
Bitcoin
HYPER-PERFORMANT
Photon Network runs on the battle-tested optimistic scaling solution as its execution framework for high-throughput and cost-efficiency. It is capable of handling massive-scale transactions with reliable gas prices
PORTABLE & COMPOSABLE
Photon Network is a general-purpose L2 with full EVM+ compatibility. EVM developers can easily create or migrate existing applications for Bitcoiners and on-chain users without changing the crypto-native experiences
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
INTERCONNECTED
Photon builds native interoperability layers to enable seamless communication and interaction between diverse applications and chains, including Bitcoin, EVM, and non-EVM networks
ECONOMIC FLYWHEEL
We aim to shape a community of users and developers united by shared values, driven by the $PTON economic model that spurs participation and value creation to enable a sustained Bitcoin-enabled network growth
