Who Should Build On Kaon?
Kaon combines the strength of Bitcoin's UTXO model with the flexibility of smart contract scaling and design from other ecosystems, starting with the EVM. This initial integration allows developers familiar with Bitcoin and Ethereum to easily create dApps and new Web3 use-cases.
For Bitcoin Developers
If you're experienced with Bitcoin's UTXO model and scripting capabilities, Kaon extends these familiar concepts by incorporating EVM functionality:
Familiar Transaction Model: Continue working with the UTXO-based transactions you're accustomed to, including transaction inputs, outputs, and Bitcoin scripts.
Enhanced Scripting with Smart Contracts: Transition from basic Bitcoin scripts to advanced smart contracts using Solidity, enabling more complex and feature-rich dApps.
Direct Interaction with Bitcoin Assets: Utilize Bitcoin assets within Kaon's environment without relying on centralized bridges or wrapped tokens.
For EVM Developers
As an Ethereum developer proficient in Solidity and the account-based model, Kaon offers new avenues:
Access to Bitcoin's UTXO Model: Expand your knowledge by integrating UTXO concepts into your development practices, enriching the types of applications you can build.
Native Bitcoin Asset Integration: Interact directly with Bitcoin assets in your smart contracts, opening up possibilities for DeFi applications that include Bitcoin liquidity.
Familiar Development Tools: Continue using tools like Remix, Truffle, Hardhat, Web3.js, and Ethers.js within the Kaon ecosystem.
