The btc-42">Bitcoin TAP protocol ecological project BIT (@dmt_bit_) has released a new roadmap, announcing a focus on the narrative of "Bitcoin Security Budget Layer," with tokens being directly issued to Bitcoin miners every block as a new source of miner subsidies.

The BIT team disclosed that currently only the $NAT token enjoys the miner subsidy mechanism under the TAP protocol, and this mechanism is hardcoded in the protocol's source code (effective only for the dmt-nat token), making it unavailable for other DMT projects. The TAP protocol has also not publicly disclosed any third-party security audits to date.

BIT has submitted a code upgrade proposal to TAP, hoping to open this mechanism for use by all DMT tokens, but it was rejected by the TAP officials.

According to the roadmap, BIT will next develop a new protocol based on a TAP fork—any DMT token deployment party can customize the token issuance rules and miner distribution methods (including distribution by mining pool weight, independent miner prize accumulation, mixed distribution, etc.) through a single inscription, eliminating any hardcoded privileges for projects. A third-party security audit will be completed before the mainnet launch of the new protocol. $BIT will serve as the native token of the new protocol, and the ecological development of the protocol will continue to empower $BIT.
