 Attention Devs Bitfinity, a Bitcoin sidechain on <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ICP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#ICP</a>, is cooking something BIG 🔥 Bitfinity launches its EVM, enabling Solidity-based dapps to access tokens like BTC &amp; runes on the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#Bitcoin</a> Network. This also upgrades ICP's capabilities to support Solidity.

This integration is to capitalize on the new Bitcoin protocol called Runes that enables the minting of fungible tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain. The unveiling of Runes during the halving celebration caused a significant increase in network fees due to its stability. With the EVM functionality implemented, Bitfinity aims at building a BitFi platform for building an app version of Bitcoin DeFi using Rune. 
Bitfinity streams UTXO data from the Bitcoin network and uses the tech stack of IC for the apps written in Solid language to work on the Bitcoin-based tokens. This functionality facilitates token bridging across other blockchains and integrates the cryptocurrency.
