What is Echo?

Echo is new network for running decentralized applications ("smart contracts") that interact with the Bitcoin network.



Why build with Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the most used, most valuable, and most liquid cryptocurrency. Rather than competing with Bitcoin as a store of value or currency, Echo integrates with Bitcoin to enable new types of complex applications.

How does Echo work with Bitcoin?

Echo implements a 2-way pegged sidechain ("bridge") that allows users to deposit, withdraw, and use BTC with applications on the Echo network.
