221. TBR - Building Smart Contract Logic For Bitcoin Using ICP | Interview w/ Jordan Last

We interview one of the key contributors and developers to ICP and dive deep into the weeds of the Internet Computer. We discuss the need for meta protocol assistance to make assets native to Bitcoin Layer 1 more functional. By using technology native to the ICP stack, developers on Bitcoin L1 can write container functions that call to the Bitcoin side to manipulate UTXO’s without having to bridge assets over. This is a major development for the TAP ecosystem which has recently announced an integration with ICP. Once developers building on TAP begin to use the tools available to leverage ICP for their apps, a new season of interesting opportunity will emerge for Bitcoin and ICP.
