SWIFT-like payments
on Bitcoin for the entire world

We help scale Bitcoin with our network of L2 subnets which exchange money (BTC) and information via protocol we call Interplanetary Consensus (IPC).

We are building the largest ecosystem of interoperable Bitcoin L2s, so everyone can use Bitcoin - for all of their transactions.

What are we building?

Permissionless creation of Bitcoin L2 subnets

IPC L2 subnets can be permissionlessly created on Bitcoin which serves as our L1, as federated or Proof of Stake chains (where stake is in Bitcoin).

IPC L2 subnets use Bitcoin L1 for communication of key information, settlement and security.

About product

Improving tx throughput on Bitcoin

Our unique SWIFT-like messaging protocol, embedded in Bitcoin SegWit, allows users to transfer value across a network of L2 subnets.

Our early PoC of our Transfer protocol allows SWIFT-like payments across our Bitcoin L2s, secured by communication through Bitcoin L1, to transfer value using 9x lower vB/tx count compared to similar transactions on Bitcoin L1.
