Photon is a decentralized, low-cost, builder-friendly Bitcoin L2 powered by BVM and Celestia to scale Bitcoin’s next generation of on-chain ecosystem.

Photon is incubated by SatoshiSync and aims to progressively create an inclusive Bitcoin crypto economy that is accessible to everyone.

The Modular Bitcoin L2

Photon is making Bitcoin accessible to everyone. By combining low latency, high throughput, and ultra-low gas costs, we provide a foundation for developers to build and scale applications with ease. Photon is a high-performance, general-purpose Bitcoin L2 that integrates optimistic execution with upcoming parallel processing capabilities, all while ensuring data integrity through Celestia’s data availability and Bitcoin’s validation mechanisms.

Photon surpasses traditional L2 solutions by building on the world’s most secure L1: Bitcoin. Our mission is to enable builders to create scalable decentralized applications, offering efficiency and flexibility on par with Ethereum’s ecosystem.

Photon Modular Stack

Our modular stack is what sets Photon apart by integrating the best components of the modular architecture, offering a unique combination of performance, cost-efficiency, security, and interoperability that leverages the foundational strengths of Bitcoin.

Execution

Photon runs on the highly performant Bitcoin Virtual Machine (BVM) as its optimistic execution environment and uses $PTON as its gas token. BVM brings full EVM compatibility to Photon Mainnet with greater throughput.

Parallel transaction execution will be introduced (Q3 2024), where transactions can be executed in parallel and simultaneously, rather than sequentially.

Data Availability

Photon Mainnet will utilize both Bitcoin and Celestia for data availability to enhance scalability and security while providing cost efficiencies and flexibility. This approach complements and extends the capabilities of the Bitcoin network.

Data Validation

The validation process will take place on the Bitcoin network. This component embeds and permanently stores data on Bitcoin, where Photon L2 inherits its security and decentralization so that users do not have to rely on the honesty of L2 validators for the security of their funds.

The future is modular. The future is Photon.

Photon offers a scalable, secure, and interoperable L2 solution that brings the full potential of the EVM environment to Bitcoin. By addressing the limitations of the current Bitcoin network, Photon lays the groundwork for a more inclusive and high-performing on-chain ecosystem. Developers, users, and the broader community stand to benefit from the enhanced capabilities and new opportunities that Photon introduces to the future of Bitcoin.
