Echo is a network for creating permissionless, decentralized applications that work with Bitcoin. Echo is advancing the usability, flexibility and functionality for Bitcoin smart contracts. Bringing DeFi to BTC. As Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem continue to mature, it’s becoming increasingly clear that public blockchains will replace today’s financial infrastructure with networks that are more open, programmatic, and sovereign. While Bitcoin has begun to reach scale as a global store of value, it’s use is still largely siloed in centralized services that expose users to a great deal of risk. To minimize this risk, developers and entrepreneurs have long sought to use Bitcoin in more expressive smart contracts that would enable users to access a variety of financial services, while remaining in control of their wealth at all times, rather than trusting a third party. Innovation has been strong to date, but still lags the true potential of Bitcoin-backed financial applications. That’s why we’re building Echo: a network for creating sovereign, decentralized applications that work with Bitcoin. With Echo, developers will be able to build a wide range of applications that integrate Bitcoin, helping usher in a new era of usability for the world’s first and largest cryptocurrency.
