Cardano的首席执行官兼创始人 Charles Hoskinson 表示,他的使命是看到一个由支持DeFi的Bitcoin驱动的混合应用程序生态系统。他补充说,他喜欢Bitcoin最终拥有DeFi层并回归创新主导地位的想法,而Cardano在这一过程中发挥了关键作用。
霍斯金森设想了一种场景,用户只需要花费Bitcoin即可实现目标,他相信Cardano能够通过 babel 费用实现这一目标。这个想法是创建一个生态系统,用户可以通过直接花费Bitcoin与 dApp 进行交互。他指出,这可以让用户的事情变得更容易,同时为Bitcoin的现有设置添加新功能。
只是一个简短的提醒,我已经接触了很长时间并且阅读了Bitcoin的大量早期源代码,对我来说很容易回到Bitcoin设计和目的的思维方式。
它就像我失去联系又重新发现的儿时朋友。我…

Hoskinson stated that the Cardano-powered DeFi on Bitcoin integration through the BitcoinOS grail bridge could help Cardano tap into Bitcoin’s liquidity and ‘plug-in’ to Bitcoin as application layers. As Bitcoin’s DeFi ecosystem continued to mature, Hoskinson believed that the Cardano-Bitcoin bridge would be the first step to true Bitcoin DeFi applications.
He clarified that the Cardano network would eventually host Bitcoin-secured DeFi apps. Hoskinson added that babel fees would enable Bitcoin developers to create hybrid apps in Aiken and pay transaction fees in BTC. However, Hoskinson explained in an X post that has since been deleted that developers needed to be trained in Cardano’s Aiken programming language to create the hybrid apps.
“It’s now a goal of mine to see an ecosystem of hybrid apps powered by DeFi enabled Bitcoin. This vision should only require the user to spend bitcoin to make it happen. Thanks to babel fees, Cardano can make this happen.”

Hoskinson claimed this would be an enormous amount of work with ‘very heavy lifting’ since there were wallet integrations and so many other things that needed to happen. He, however, pointed out that it would all be worth it because Bitcoin was a trillion-dollar asset.
According to an extensive Footprint analytics report, implementing DeFi on Bitcoin presented several technical challenges, including scalability and interoperability. Bitcoin’s scalability was a primary concern since its base layer was limited in transaction throughput due to its block time constraints and block size, as per the report. Bitcoin’s layer 2 and sidechain ecosystems were still in their early stages, limiting the range of DeFi apps that could be supported effectively.
Interoperability was also of significant concern, as per the report, since bridging Bitcoin with other blockchains without compromising decentralization or security was a complex procedure that required innovation.
Regulatory scrutiny was expected to increase as Bitcoin DeFi continued to grow. The Footprint analytics report revealed that Bitcoin’s decentralized and ‘pseudonymous’ nature posed challenges for compliance. Notably, this compliance issue could potentially slow down the development and adoption of DeFi on Bitcoin.
The analytics firm emphasized that navigating these regulatory landscapes would be crucial for the sustainable growth of Bitcoin DeFi. As per the report, there were significant opportunities for technological advancements that could bolster Bitcoin DeFi, such as the enhancement of layer 2 solutions.
