Introduction
Surge is Bitcoin’s first Composable Scaling Metalayer, designed to unlock the new BTCFi Economy.
Rethinking how Bitcoin scaling is approached, Surge facilitates a solution-agnostic future where Rollups, dApps and metaprotocols seamlessly interoperate on a decentralised intermediary layer — whose sole purpose is to push the boundaries of Bitcoin functionality enabling an environment with high-throughput, cost-effective and enhanced program expressivity.
Surge achieves this by using advanced cryptographic technologies like zero-knowledge proofs. It takes it one step further by designing its core-architecture to ensure high scalability without compromising security.
Using zk-aggregation and decentralised verification mechanisms, Surge is tuned for drastic cost reduction in verifying and pushing proofs to Bitcoin.This creates the perfect environment for builders to focus on launching their ideas be it App-specific Rollups, GameFi, Ordinals or any other DeFi use-case whilst inheriting the security and the liquidity of Bitcoin.
What sets Surge apart from most other scaling approaches is it’s zero-dependance on Bitcoin soft-forks or core-level updates.
