Who Owns the Registry?
The world is being tokenized.
Who will own the registry?
Every major institution is racing to tokenize assets — but most are building closed systems: private chains, permissioned ledgers, and corporate tokens. They promise innovation, but recreate the same silos Bitcoin was meant to end.
BAP takes a different path. It’s a public coordination layer for assets, governance, and proofs — anchored directly to Bitcoin. Open, neutral, and paid only in sats.
One protocol to rule them all.
- Not by control, but by consensus.
- Not by authority, but by proof.
- And in sats bind them.
Private Chains, Public Risk
Tokenization is coming — but it’s being captured.
Financial giants and blockchain startups alike are building isolated networks, each with their own rules, validators, and tokens.
It’s the same system in new packaging: closed, centralized, and fragile. The world doesn’t need a thousand registries competing for trust. It needs one public layer that is trust.
The Base Layer of Coordination
BAP extends Bitcoin’s incorruptibility from money to coordination. It acts as a universal notary, recording every event — asset creation, ownership transfer, governance vote, or proof — as a timestamped record anchored to Bitcoin’s proof-of-work.
No new chain. No new coin. No new consensus. Just Bitcoin — extended for everything.
Where Bitcoin perfected incorruptible money, BAP establishes incorruptible records.
From Money to Coordination
Bitcoin solved the hardest problem in computer science: how to make truth self-sustaining.
But civilization runs on more than money. It runs on records — who owns what, who voted how, what was promised and delivered.
BAP builds on Bitcoin’s foundation to anchor those records too: assets, organizations, and proofs that can outlive platforms, companies, or states. It turns Bitcoin's ledger from a record of coins into a registry of everything that matters.
The Key That Grows With You
Every record begins with a key — your cryptographic root of truth.
In BAP, that key isn’t static. It evolves. Through zero-knowledge proofs, guardians, and derived identities, you can extend functionality while preserving privacy.
Your key can prove rights, roles, or actions — without revealing your holdings or identity. It becomes the root of continuity across time, systems, and applications.
One key to rule them all — not by power, but by verification.
What Can Be Built
-
Assets: Stablecoins, securities, and real-world ownership. -
Governance: Transparent votes, cooperatives, and DAOs. -
Proofs: Certifications, creative rights, and supply chain attestations. -
Identity: zk credentials, recoveries, and guardianship.
Everything interoperable. Everything anchored to Bitcoin.
Build Together
BAP is open source — built by the people, for the people.
There’s no token sale, no permissioned committee, no central gatekeeper. Only code to write, ideas to test, and standards to refine.
Developers can start experimenting with event schemas, Bitcoin anchoring, and Lightning integration today.
If Bitcoin was the foundation, BAP is the structure we build together.
Closing Manifesto
The future doesn’t need a thousand private chains. It needs one open layer where every asset, proof, and record can coexist under a single, incorruptible truth.
BAP — one protocol to rule them all. Anchored to Bitcoin. Open to everyone.
