Cardano的首席執行官兼創始人 Charles Hoskinson 表示,他的使命是看到一個由支持DeFi的Bitcoin驅動的混合應用程序生態系統。他補充說,他喜歡Bitcoin最終擁有DeFi層並回歸創新主導地位的想法,而Cardano在這一過程中發揮了關鍵作用。
霍斯金森設想了一種場景,用戶只需要花費Bitcoin即可實現目標,他相信Cardano能夠通過 babel 費用實現這一目標。這個想法是創建一個生態系統,用戶可以通過直接花費Bitcoin與 dApp 進行交互。他指出,這可以讓用戶的事情變得更容易,同時爲Bitcoin的現有設置添加新功能。
只是一個簡短的提醒,我已經接觸了很長時間並且閱讀了Bitcoin的大量早期源代碼,對我來說很容易回到Bitcoin設計和目的的思維方式。
它就像我失去聯繫又重新發現的兒時朋友。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.
