By promoting .btc name usage, Velar seeks to create a more seamless and user-friendly ecosystem within the Bitcoin-powered network.
Launched on January 30, the program enables users to acquire .btc names through approved platforms like BNS ONE and BNS.Market, with reimbursements processed via Velar’s dedicated portal .
The initiative aims to establish a unified digital identity standard within the Stacks ecosystem.
Enhancing Bitcoin’s Identity System
The BTC Name Grant Program, according to the official announcement, is a collaborative effort among leading Stacks projects to strengthen ecosystem infrastructure and improve accessibility for both new and existing users.
“It’s inspiring to see all the protocols and tokens across the Stacks ecosystem unite for this initiative. This unity underscores our shared commitment to supporting and uplifting the entire community,” said Velar CMO Peter Watson.
Backed by key contributors, including Stacks, Ryder, Bitflow, StackingDAO, ALEX, Arkadiko, Hermetica, and Leather Wallet, the program has already secured over 6,000 STX in funding.
“Everything comes back to Bitcoin. We’re thrilled to see the Stacks community rally behind initiatives that make Bitcoin more engaging, exciting, and help cultivate the builder culture it needs,” said Louise Ivan, CEO & Co-Founder of Ryder.
The BTC program builds on Velar’s track record of community-driven initiatives, including the successful Return to Ape campaign, which facilitated users in acquiring Megapont NFTs.
Why This Matters
This initiative is part of Velar’s broader goal to enhance Bitcoin-native DeFi by improving usability and security. As adoption increases, the program could help expand Bitcoin’s ecosystem beyond its role as a store of value.
