Flash Protocol is a decentralized protocol that allows users to issue assets (Taproot Assets) and Taproot NFT on Bitcoin. FlashVM, a computational engine built on Flash Chain, is designed for smart contract-like functionalities for Bitcoin. Powered by Lightning’s release of Taproot Assets, Flash Protocol enables issuance and trading Bitcoin native assets on the Bitcoin blockchain, all while ensuring a smooth, congestion-free mainnet. FlashVM, on the other hand, enables BTCFi functionalities such as staking, swaps and lending for Bitcoin native assets.
