# MAP Protocol

Omnichain interoperability protocol with Bitcoin focus. Provides
cross-chain messaging + bridges including Bitcoin.

## Architecture

- **Light-client based bridges** between MAP-compatible chains.
- **Bitcoin integration**: SPV-style verification for cross-chain
  Bitcoin transactions.
- **Native token**: MAPO.

## Use cases

- **Cross-chain swaps** Bitcoin ↔ EVM chains.
- **Multi-chain dApps**.
- **Asset bridges**.

## Position

Niche player; smaller TVL than dominant L2s. Focus on
interoperability rather than smart-contract execution.
