As we all know, Ordinals Theory, BRC-20 and other protocols based on Bitcoin have brought a lot of imagination to the development of Bitcoin ecosystem through "on-chain declaration, off-chain resolve" mechanism. And a large number of Bitcoin NFTs and tokens have been issued, but the development of decentralized applications such as DeFi is still lagging behind. This document attempts to explore a protocol that supports decentralized computing: BRC-100, and how the protocol can be extended and improved, to create a possibility for decentralized applications based on the Bitcoin network.
The BRC-100 protocol is an extensible decentralized computing protocol based on Ordinals Theory. BRC-100 proposes a modularity method of protocols and applications: inheritance and nesting, which provides a theoretical basis for the extension of BRC-100 protocol and applications. BRC-100 protocol essentially describes a token with computing capabilities and states. The behavior of the token is an extension of BRC-20 protocol. The computing capabilities and state transition can be extended by BRC-100 extension protocol. All BRC-100 extension protocols are compatible with each other, that is, tokens that implement BRC-100 and its extension protocols can be used in all applications. At the same time, BRC-100 protocol and its extension protocols can be updated and upgraded through improvement protocols. BRC-100 protocol and all its extension and improvement protocols are called BRC-100 protocol stack.
The BRC-100 protocol is based on two models: UTXO model and state machine model, which greatly extends the computing capabilities of Bitcoin. The operation of token satisfies the UTXO model, and the computation conforms to the state machine model. And BRC-100 provides new operations: burn2/burn3 and mint2/mint3, so that token can be safely converted between UTXO model and state machine model.
BRC-100 introduces many concepts, please read the explanation below firstly.
