This is why we exist
The accuracy of data is paramount in the Bitcoin ecosystem. This is where @SandshrewRPC comes in. Similar to the role of @infura_io in Ethereum but tailored for Bitcoin’s higher data requirements, @SandshrewRPC provides comprehensive access to Bitcoin blockchain data, including transaction details, block information, and real-time mempool access, which are essential for developing sophisticated applications. This advanced data access ensures reliable execution of complex smart contracts on Bitcoin, making utilities similar to Ethereum's a reality. With Sandshrew’s integration with Metashrew, developers can create custom indexing solutions, enhancing application flexibility. This reliable and accurate data infrastructure is crucial for Protorunes (@judoflexchop), which is built with Metashrew. Protorunes enables advanced DeFi functionalities directly on Bitcoin, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Runes. In summary, while Bitcoin and Ethereum serve different purposes, the need for reliable data infrastructure is critical. Sandshrew addresses Bitcoin’s unique challenges, enhancing its programmability and enables its growth and sustainability. As Bitcoin continues to evolve, tools like Sandshrew and metaprotocols like Protorunes will be essential in unlocking its full potential.

The next expansion of Bitcoin will be based on the paradigm of user generated indexes. They’ll be hosted on @SandshrewRPC and available to everyone.
Listen to @taggaOyl speak about @judoflexchop's motivations behind @SandshrewRPC. Stay tuned for more on Protorunes next week. Open source indexer frameworks will unlock more than you think.

The “programmable runes” team has been made aware of a number of scams falsely claiming to be the team in question. For the sake of consumer protection, the team has decided to dox its creator - @judoflexchop - going forward all announcements related to this subprotocol will come exclusively from their account. Btw this protocol has been named PROTO-RUNES by its creator.

We’re thrilled to sponsor L1F Talks—where top experts in the space will be drilling deep into technical and current topics in Bitcoin every week. Have an idea for a project ? Our robust RPC for Bitcoin, Ordinals & BRC20 is the secret sauce to building your next project on Bitcoin L1. We’re here to inspire and empower your ideas—come learn with us!
ANNOUNCEMENT 🎺 The Layer 1 Foundation is excited to announce its first educational series: L1F talks! L1F talks will begin as a series of 12 Twitter spaces exploring technical topics within the rapidly growing world of “Bitcoin Season II.” We believe Ordinals is just the beginning of an unprecedented growth spurt in Bitcoin-focused technologies—and we’re thrilled to create a dedicated space to explore the vast range of progressive technologies being built on top of Bitcoin. Hosted by the Layer 1 Foundation, along with @domodata and @isabelfoxenduke, the show will bring together innovative leaders in Bitcoin—including technical experts in Ordinals, fungibles, “Bitcoin Layer 2s,” and other related topics. The show will be sponsored and co-hosted by Layer 1 Foundation founding partner, @oyldynamics—a soon-to-launch Bitcoin wallet and parent company to the @sandshrew indexer tool for Bitcoin, Ordinals and BRC20. If you’re excited to learn more about Bitcoin and keep up with all the technical innovation happening in this space, we hope you’ll tune in—and follow @l1fxyz for updates on upcoming shows!
