The Origin Story of BSI

Ethereum stole Bitcoin’s thunder. Now, developers are returning to Bitcoin.

Ethereum’s 2015 launch revolutionized crypto with complex smart contracts and dApps, establishing itself as the hub for DeFi and crypto utility. This shift drew attention away from Bitcoin, which was seen as limited to payments and store of value. As Ethereum’s popularity surged, it became the foundation for ICOs, DeFi protocols, NFTs, and utility tokens — pushing its scalability to the limit.

In response, a swarm of new Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains emerged to address these scalability challenges. However, fragmented ecosystems led to thinner TVL distribution, and decreased security and decentralization. Developers today have endless options, from hundreds of L1 and L2 chains to tools like Asphere’s own no-code deployer for building custom networks.

This abundance of choice steered development interest increasingly to the areas of interoperability, modularity, and shared security. In other words, unifying and patching the crypto experience to become more functional. With this new flexibility, developers can create networks that are meshed together, e.g., Arbitrum Orbit as a rollup framework, EigenLayer for shared security and data availability, and Axelar for interoperability.

As developers explored modular blockchain design, they realized Bitcoin’s potential as the ultimate settlement and security layer. Leveraging Bitcoin in this way unlocks new possibilities, transforming it into the strongest foundational layer for Web3 networks with unmatched security and decentralization. The only issue remaining is the difficulty of implementing Bitcoin into the modular stack of protocols and dApps – enter Apshere’s Bitcoin Secured Infrastructure.
