About Blockchains

About Waterfall

Waterfall is a highly scalable and decentralized BlockDAG EVM-compatible Layer 1 protocol. Low transaction fees and EVM compatibility make Waterfall the platform of choice for Dapps.

About Bitcoin

Bitcoin stands as a leading cryptocurrency and payment network, utilizing peer-to-peer technology to operate without central authorities. It embraces global participation as an open-source platform. A notable advancement in Bitcoin is the introduction of ordinals and inscriptions. Launched in January 2023, the Bitcoin ordinals protocol enables the embedding of digital content like art, text, or video directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. This innovation allows for the creation of exclusive digital collectibles, giving each satoshi a unique identity and purpose, broadening Bitcoin's utility beyond its role as a store of value.
