OP_NET, a Bitcoin-based DeFi and smart contract solution, is launching a testnet soon

Odaily News A group of developers will launch the OP_NET testnet, a DeFi and smart contract solution on the Bitcoin chain, on Wednesday, which they say will bring programmable functionality to Bitcoin. OP_NET uses the Tapscript component of Bitcoin's Taproot upgrade, which means it will support Ordinals and Runes. "We want to really see DeFi on Bitcoin in full effect," said developer Chad Master, who provided a preview of it. (Decrypt)
