Everyone's asking the same thing now: how do I put my Bitcoin to work?
We're building the Bitcoin economy where your BTC moves, pays, and earns for you.

There is an uncomfortable discussion no one in the Bitcoin community wants to have (and no, it's not Quantum)
@opnetbtc founder @chadmasterxbt joined us to weigh in on why $BTC is in trouble if no one uses it beyond just HODLing:
"Bitcoin's a victim of it's own success" 👀⬇️

16 years ago today, the first real-world Bitcoin transaction was made. We are bringing that conversation to the Louvre.
In 10 days, 2,500 decision-makers walk into the Louvre Palace for the conference that shapes where the industry moves next. Mastercard, J.P. Morgan, BlackRock, Aave, Citi, Coinbase, and 100+ more companies sending their most senior people to be in the room.
The same industry. A long way from two pizzas.
In 10 days, 2 panels go deep on where Bitcoin moves from here.
Institutional Yield in Crypto: From Bitcoin Strategies to Onchain Vaults. Sunand Raghupathi @sunandr_ (Veda Labs), Karl Naim (XBTO), Martin Derka @dr_zircuit (Zircuit), and Evan Feng @EvanTheFeng (CoinFund), moderated by Travis Hayes @_travishayes (Temple).
Rebuilding Bitcoin's Financial Stack: From Payment Rails to Programmable Value. Chad Master @chadmasterxbt (OP_NET), Ben Milne @bpmilne (Brale), and Rena Shah @renapshah (Stacks Endowment), moderated by Pete Rizzo @pete_rizzo_ (Kraken & Bitcoin Treasuries).
Just the tip of the iceberg. Attend it in person or hear it from the news.

1/ SLOHM Mainnet is officially live.

Every financial tool on every other chain requires you to leave Bitcoin to use it.
OP_NET changes that. Swapping and staking run directly on L1, settled by Bitcoin's miners. Your keys never leave your hands.
Self-custody and smart contracts were never mutually exclusive.

In addition, the Top 100 participants will each receive a Satlantis Triton OP404.
Thank you to everyone who stress tested, broke things, reported issues and helped shape the future of Bitcoin L1 DeFi.
Mainnet is coming.

Proud to have advised this team through every high and low on the road to mainnet.
See you on the other side.

🎙️ Ep. 724 OP_NET | Building Native Functionality on BTC (feat. Samuel Patt)
— — —
For episode 724 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Samuel (Chad) Patt, Co-founder of @opnetbtc.
OP_NET enables smart contracts directly on Bitcoin Layer 1, with no bridges, sidechains or Layer 2s. BTC is used as gas, keeping all security and liquidity native to Bitcoin. This unlocks stablecoins, lending, trading, staking and DeFi entirely on Bitcoin without wrapped assets or custodial risk.
Samuel has always pursued opportunities that challenge conventional market cycles and push the boundaries of narrative. Coming from a punk background, his passion for Bitcoin stems from its decentralized architecture and anti-establishment ethos. In 2023, alongside his co-founders Danny and Anakun, Samuel began building toward a more productive Bitcoin - one capable of hosting smart contracts, institutional-grade infrastructure, and open financial applications. That journey culminated in the creation of OP_NET, a protocol representing his core philosophy: continuously redefining what’s possible on Bitcoin in a decentralized and permissionless way.
