The crazy part of all this, is that when we actually make the first announcement, it will represent only one piece of a much larger puzzle for Bitcoin-based financial systems.
Do you think all TAP holders are ready? 👀
TAP Protocol@tap_protocol
Something big is coming 👀 TAP has pioneered another world-first for Bitcoin! We won’t spoil the surprise just yet But it’s a great time to be holding TAP

Day 6 of asking CEXs to list trac-network:native
I will be posting everyday until @binance @BinanceUS @krakenfx and @coinbase list trac-network:native
CryptoPia@trac_btc
Bitcoin’s Future is Being Rewritten: @TracNetwork + @tap_protocol Crypto has long called Bitcoin just a “store of value.” But what if Bitcoin became a fully programmable layer where AI agents coordinate, robots transact, and real economies run on-chain? That’s exactly what Trac Network and Tap Protocol are building together turning Bitcoin into a next-generation infrastructure. ➡️ @tap_protocol Real Smart Contracts on Bitcoin •True self-custody programmability on Bitcoin L1 •1-TX multi-send, native AMMs, and full L1 DeFi •Tapping + L1 co-processing delivers Ethereum-level logic without bridges, L2s, or custodians •DMT (Digital Matter Theory) turns block data into tokens new revenue for miners and sustainable growth for the ecosystem Bitcoin is no longer just HODL. It’s now home to DeFi, token launches, staking, and P2P trading all secure and low-cost on L1. ➡️ @TracNetwork The Coordination Layer for AI Agents & Robots •Blockless L1 with 1-2s finality and up to 3 million TPS •Peer-to-peer, cloudless, local-first architecture apps run on user devices, fully censorship-resistant •AI agents talk, transact, and coordinate value in real time •Robots, IoT devices, and real-world actions connect directly to blockchain Fully integrated with Tap Protocol: Bitcoin assets flow instantly into Trac apps. Projects like HyperMall are already live. The Big Vision Combine Bitcoin’s unmatched security with Trac’s hyper-fast P2P coordination to bring the real-world economy on-chain. AI economies, robotic networks, seamless value transfer all self-custodial and secured by Bitcoin. This isn’t just another token standard. This is the trillion-dollar infrastructure layer crypto has been waiting for. Early builders, AI developers, and visionaries are already on board. The train is leaving the station. $TAP • $TNK • Bitcoin’s future is being written here. Join the revolution: tracsystems.io/trac-network tracsystems.io/tap-protocol

@CalebSol If you haven’t bought Trac Network yet…
Then I’m beginning to think these posts are 500% full of sh*t.
Have you? 👀
The ticker is trac-network:native
English
Keep your eyes on TAP Protocol’s Token Authority function.
It’s about to undergo a powerful upgrade. 💪

Something big is coming 👀
TAP has pioneered another world-first for Bitcoin!
We won’t spoil the surprise just yet
But it’s a great time to be holding TAP
English
I have been accumulating the very bottom of $NAT for months.
Now Im doing the same with $TAP / trac-network:native
Havent sold a single coin yet and not planning to, for a long time.
I will either be the dumbest man alive, or the genius. There is nothing in between.

Looks like the 2nd largest mining pool giant @AntPoolofficial might also be preparing to distribute $NAT to miners soon 👀
English
🎰 $JACKPOT just hit 207K MCAP.
Momentum is building.
Supply is tiny.
Conviction is growing.
The market is slowly waking up to the fact that the 2nd DMT in history is still massively undervalued.
🔥 The wheel has started spinning.
English
TAP has now generated over 40,000,000 transactions on Bitcoin
But the real story is the growing ecosystem that’s forming
Thank you to everyone launching, minting, swapping, bridging, sending and trading
You’re helping to grow the most programmable Bitcoin layer ever built 👏

@QuntCrypto @dmt_bit_ dont know i think if you mint it for cheap like 1sat/vb its same price or near listing prices on ow. Did not fully checked this.
English
@EternalBlockLaw @dmt_bit_ Why are people minting it when they can buy it for a fraction of the price?
English
We don't think there are any conflicts among different DMT tokens. We need more than just one DMT token like $NAT to really secure a healthy + sustainable + diversified ecosystem. $BIT.
$DMT-BIT@dmt_bit_
@xing8047 We are working on pointing the future mining rewards of $BIT to the miners. Sorting out technical details atm. We are not trying to copy anyone, and we don't think there is only one top token like $NAT on the whole DMT ecosystem - it is just not a healthy ecosystem.
English
@QuntCrypto @dmt_bit_ yes ordinalswallet is legit $bit as it seems
English
@dmt_bit_ Is what I just minted the Bit that is already on ordinals wallet and has been for years?
