Nigerian Bitcoin researchers Heritage Falodun and others have proposed Tage_Root, a trust-minimized Bitcoin Layer 2 framework aimed at exploring challenges related to Bitcoin bridging and the pricing of Bitcoin-denominated yield.
Bitcoin’s base layer was deliberately designed for settlement finality, not programmable finance. Its UTXO model and constrained scripting language make native staking and yield generation architecturally impossible without protocol extensions.
Today, most Bitcoin yield products introduce trust assumptions, centralized custodians like wBTC, threshold-signature committees like tBTC, or opaque CeFi lending books.
With Tage_Root, Heritage Falodun and Samson Ojo are exploring a different approach: a trust-minimized Layer 2 execution stack where Bitcoin-denominated yield can be generated through real economic activity, users are intended to retain unilateral exit rights, and Bitcoin RPC integration support is included for stronger settlement awareness.
The Tage_Root Rust implementation currently covers:
– bridge: peg-in / peg-out logic, CTV-enforced and BitVM optimistic paths
– covenant: OP_CTV template
