The rise of innovative protocols like Ordinals and Runes has ignited a new wave of enthusiasm for exploring the Bitcoin ecosystem. What was once seen as a static, single-purpose blockchain is now evolving into a dynamic hub of decentralized innovation. With the emergence of Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions and growing institutional interest, the BTC ecosystem is entering a transformative phase — one that presents real opportunities for developers, investors, and everyday users alike.
As the ecosystem expands, so does the need for education, community engagement, and accessible entry points. To bridge this gap, the BTC Ecosystem Summer China Tour was launched — a city-by-city journey connecting passionate builders, curious newcomers, and long-time believers in Bitcoin’s future.
Organized by BEVM, a leading BTC Layer 2 project, in collaboration with BTC World and supported by Web3CN, this grassroots initiative has already made impactful stops in Hangzhou, Changsha, and Shenzhen — with overwhelming turnout and vibrant discussions at every event.
Now, the tour is heading to Shanghai, promising not just insights into the future of Bitcoin, but an unforgettable fusion of technology and culture.
🔥 A Growing Movement: The BTC Ecosystem Gains Momentum
The narrative around Bitcoin is changing. No longer just "digital gold," it's becoming a platform for innovation through protocols like:
- Ordinals: Enables NFT-like assets on Bitcoin by inscribing data directly onto satoshis.
- Runes: A lightweight fungible token protocol built for simplicity and efficiency on Bitcoin.
- BRC-20: A token standard leveraging Ordinals to create tradable tokens.
These innovations have sparked a surge in on-chain activity and inspired a new generation of Bitcoin Layer 2 projects aiming to bring scalability, smart contracts, and DeFi capabilities to Bitcoin’s secure base layer.
Projects like BEVM are pioneering this shift by enabling Ethereum-compatible smart contracts on Bitcoin — unlocking cross-chain interoperability while preserving Bitcoin’s security.

🚀 Why Now Is the Time to Explore the BTC Ecosystem
We’re witnessing a pivotal moment in Bitcoin’s history. For years, Ethereum dominated the narrative around programmability and decentralization. But with innovations like Ordinals and Runes proving that Bitcoin can support rich use cases — and Layer 2s like BEVM adding smart contract functionality — the balance is shifting.
The Bitcoin ecosystem is no longer a niche experiment. It's becoming a viable alternative for users seeking:
- Stronger security (thanks to Bitcoin’s hash rate)
- Lower volatility compared to newer chains
- First-mover advantage in emerging markets like BTC-based NFTs and tokens
And unlike many speculative ecosystems built on hype, Bitcoin’s foundation is rooted in decentralization, censorship resistance, and real-world adoption.
