Ankr is proud to join the Trac Systems ecosystem as a validator node operator, delivering unparalleled reliability to secure the TAP blockchain. Together, we're creating an opportunity for the most secure, accessible, and decentralized development on Bitcoin, with unprecedented flexibility in programmability.

What Is TAP?

TAP is a protocol that makes Bitcoin Ord-Fi possible. TAP enables secure value locking on Bitcoin, similar to DeFi protocols on Ethereum. This opens up new possibilities for developers to build innovative applications on Bitcoin, such as tokenized assets, decentralized exchanges, and more.

How Does TAP Benefit the Web3 Developer Ecosystem?

As a cutting-edge protocol for Bitcoin Ordinals, TAP enables more complex financial operations directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, powered by the Ordinals ecosystem. It’s designed to be more flexible and user-friendly than other token protocols, offering features like token staking, swapping, and liquidity pools (to name a few) without the need for secondary layers or complex mechanisms.

TAP provides a suite of functionalities tailored to enhance the Bitcoin experience:

• Swapping and Staking: Within the TAP ecosystem, users can effortlessly swap tokens and stake them to bolster the network and earn rewards, merging liquidity with incentive.
• Fractionalizing Ordinals Art: TAP unlocks the potential for micro-ownership and broader accessibility to Ordinals art pieces.
• Borrowing, Lending & Staking: A trifecta of financial empowerment – borrow against holdings, lend to earn interest, and stake to gain rewards and contribute to network stability.
• Liquidity Pools: TAP supports the creation of pools of tokens that users can contribute to, enabling decentralized trading and earning fees in return.
• Token Authentication: It provides a framework for authenticating tokens within platforms, potentially for use as in-game currency or items.
• Multi-send: Users can send multiple transactions in one go, simplifying the process of distributing tokens to various recipients. Airdropping tokens within Ordinals has never been easier and more cost-effective than with TAP.
• Multi-asset Protocol: Finally, TAP acts as a multi-asset protocol, meaning it can handle various types of assets beyond just one standard, broadening the scope of transactions and interactions within the Bitcoin blockchain.
