Broly – Trust-minimized Bitcoin inscriptions directly from your Starknet wallet

StarkWare has launched Broly, a proof-of-concept that simplifies Bitcoin inscriptions by letting users inscribe data via Starknet without owning BTC or dealing directly with the Bitcoin network. The project aims to streamline user experience and enhance trust-minimized interactions with Bitcoin.

Key Ideas

Seamless Bitcoin Inscriptions via Starknet: Broly uses smart contracts to validate and complete inscriptions on Bitcoin, eliminating the need for users to manage BTC or interact with the Bitcoin blockchain.
Built on Utu Relay and Raito: These Cairo libraries enable provable verification of Bitcoin transactions and trustless validation of Bitcoin state changes within Starknet smart contracts.
Developer Opportunities: Builders can use these open-source tools to create applications like verifiable digital badges or wallets with Bitcoin proof-of-activity features—all without running a Bitcoin node.
