Bitcoin’s future is deeper markets, not just payments
This is why @kontornetwork is making DeFi and smart contracts native to #Bitcoin
🧵Summary of our latest interview with @agkrellenstein
Kontor is a new Bitcoin meta protocol — a 100% on-chain system for smart contracts and file storage.
➤ Built directly on Bitcoin using Taproot inscriptions
➤ Executes contracts in one confirmation from a normal wallet
➤ No bridges, no sidechains — all native Bitcoin
Smart contracts, but finally on Bitcoin itself.
Adam’s goal: bring DeFi back to Bitcoin.
➤ Bitcoin was always meant for more than payments
➤ Kontor enables liquidity pools, staking, and contracts without leaving Bitcoin
➤ Avoids L2 fragmentation — keeps everything interoperable and auditable
DeFi without the detours and off-ramps.
@kontornetwork @agkrellenstein Kontor uses CORE, an inflationary “digital gas” token for computation.
➤ Bitcoin = digital gold
➤ CORE = digital gas
➤ Trustless atomic swaps let you buy gas with BTC, execute, and settle in one chain
Gas doesn’t compete with Bitcoin, it powers it.
@kontornetwork @agkrellenstein Storage is the other big unlock.
➤ Kontor incentivizes nodes to store data permanently
➤ Uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify storage
➤ Keeps large files off-chain but fully verifiable on-chain
Persistent storage with Bitcoin-native incentives.
@kontornetwork @agkrellenstein On ethics & blockspace:
➤ Kontor pays full market fees like any Bitcoin transaction
➤ Data is stored in prunable outputs to minimize network bloat
➤ Fees rise as activity rises, discouraging spam organically
Crypto economics > moral policing.
On the new OP_RETURN wars & censorship:
➤ Bitcoin devs once killed innovation out of fear of “data misuse”
➤ Ordinals changed the game, showing how demand drives utility
➤ Miners now hold real power, and their incentives align with open use
Bitcoin governance has shifted — miners are the new veto power.
Big picture:
➤ Building on Bitcoin strengthens it
➤ Every new layer adds value, liquidity, and stickiness
➤ Kontor = Bitcoin-native DeFi + storage
➤ CORE token = gas, not money
➤ Ordinals weren’t a bug, they were the unlock
➤ The next Bitcoin wave builds inwards, not outwards
➤ Kontor could turn Bitcoin from “digital gold” into a full digital economy
