Bitcoin token protocol BRC20 implements EVM-like smart contract functionality through the "BRC2.0" upgrade

PANews reported on September 2nd that, according to CoinDesk, the Bitcoin token protocol BRC20 has taken a step toward implementing Ethereum-style smart contracts. According to an announcement released on Monday, starting with Bitcoin block 912,690, the Bitcoin token protocol has integrated the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) into its core logic. This upgrade, known as BRC2.0, was jointly developed by Best in Slot, the developer of the Ordinals protocol, and Domo, the anonymous founder of BRC20. Best in Slot CEO Eril Binari Ezerel stated that meta-protocols like Ordinals previously relied on "calculator-like" indexers, and that integrating the EVM will make BRC20 Turing-complete. Domo further stated that the ultimate goal is to merge the two gold standards: Bitcoin, the most decentralized and secure network, and the EVM, the most mature virtual machine, allowing users to experience the composability and programmability of Ethereum while enjoying the same level of security as Bitcoin.
