83% of institutional investors plan to increase crypto allocations in 2025, according to a @coinbase & @EYnews survey. Yet most Bitcoin treasury strategies remain static. Arch can transform corporate BTC from idle reserves to productive assets, offering real yield without

Cypherpunks wrote code for financial sovereignty. But sovereignty without productivity is incomplete. Arch embodies the next chapter:.🟠 self-custody WITH yield,.🟠 trustless execution WITH returns,.🟠 decentralization WITH DeFi. We didn't change Satoshi's vision. We completed

Even Hal knew Bitcoin needed native solutions, not bridges to other chains. Read: Hal Finney's "Bitcoin Bank" post (Dec 30, 2010) on BitcoinTalk.

When you've held through 80% drawdowns and emerged stronger, why would you trust anywhere but Bitcoin? . The solution has always been native execution on the blockchain that started it all.

The key innovation lies in Arch's cryptographic multisig architecture, powered by FROST and ROAST signature schemes. This enables a decentralized validator network to sign Bitcoin transactions programmatically while maintaining dynamic participation—validators can enter and exit.

Arch Network represents this paradigm shift through a novel architectural approach. By implementing a UTXO-aware execution environment based on the eBPF virtual machine, Arch enables smart contracts to interact directly with Bitcoin's native structure. Custom syscalls allow

The path forward requires a paradigm shift: a bridge-free execution platform that achieves true Turing completeness on Bitcoin. Such a solution must execute both state changes and asset transfers directly on the base layer while maintaining trust-minimized operations that.

The resulting liquidity fragmentation poses significant challenges for DeFi development on Bitcoin. Without interoperability between protocols, developers cannot aggregate the deep liquidity pools necessary for sophisticated financial applications. Each protocol becomes an

Perhaps most critically, bridged assets become siloed within their respective protocols. Whether on L2s or meta-protocols, these assets cannot communicate with other chains or Bitcoin's base layer. This isolation prevents the cross-app communication that defines mature DeFi.

This technical limitation places meta-protocols in an untenable position. They inherit Bitcoin's performance constraints without delivering the enhanced functionality that L2s provide. Paradoxically, many meta-protocols also still require asset bridging, negating their supposed.

Emerging meta-protocols have attempted a different approach by enhancing off-chain computational capacity. However, these solutions face a fundamental limitation: they can process state changes but cannot execute asset transfers.

The data speaks volumes: wrapped Bitcoin assets in DeFi represent approximately $10 billion in total value locked, less than 1% of Bitcoin's total market capitalization. Despite years of availability, the vast majority of Bitcoin holders reject the bridge-dependent.

This bridging requirement reveals a critical trust assumption that many Bitcoiners find unacceptable. When users move assets to L2s, they exchange Bitcoin's proven security model for significant bridge risks. This trade-off has existed for years through Ethereum bridges, yet.

Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions represent an architectural compromise. While they promise scalable programmability through faster block times and increased throughput, they fundamentally require users to bridge assets away from Bitcoin's base layer. 🧵👇

Arch's consensus will be powered by Arch's native token using a dPoS model for block production and threshold key distribution. Network state and activity is propagated across nodes via the GossipSub protocol, ensuring that all validators receive updates in a decentralized and
