✨ Showcase the powerful versatility of CKB-VM: https://blog.cryptape.com/running-bitcoin-script-on-ckb-vm
Now, you can run Bitcoin Script opcodes and validate transactions on CKB-VM without code changes.
For dApp developers, this means validating a wider array of Bitcoin addresses on CKB, leveraging the security and decentralization of both Bitcoin and Nervos Network.
What other possibilities do you see? Share with us 🫡
