Maestro Powers Midl’s EVM dApps on Bitcoin Network

The integration between Maestro and Midl marks a pivotal moment in blockchain interoperability, enabling developers to deploy familiar Solidity smart contracts directly on the Bitcoin network. Midl’s EVM-compatible execution environment allows existing Ethereum applications to be ported with minimal changes, while users benefit from maintaining their Bitcoin wallets and paying fees in BTC. This approach leverages Bitcoin’s $2 trillion in native liquidity – a market advantage that neither Ethereum nor Solana have ever possessed, according to the companies’ statements.

Since its testnet launch, Midl has demonstrated substantial traction, processing over 1 million Bitcoin transactions and 2.1 million EVM smart contract transactions. This volume highlights the growing developer and user interest in a seamless Bitcoin-native application layer that combines the security of Bitcoin with the flexibility of Ethereum’s development environment. The platform enables complex DeFi capabilities including staking, automated market makers (AMMs), lending, and stablecoins directly on Bitcoin’s foundation.

At the core of this collaboration is Maestro’s open-source Symphony indexer, which is embedded directly into Midl at the validator node level. This deep integration provides native mempool awareness, global network synchronization, and event-driven data propagation without relying on third-party indexers. Symphony’s high-performance Bitcoin indexing engine monitors transaction data in both blocks and the Bitcoin mempool in real-time, giving developers access to confirmed and unconfirmed states within a single, queryable pipeline.

Maestro Co-founder and CEO Marvin Bertin emphasized the strategic importance of this technical alignment: “Our collaboration with the Midl team demonstrates how deep technical alignment can accelerate Bitcoin adoption. By co-designing the validator node network alongside the Symphony integration, Maestro ensures that Midl-powered applications will be secured by Bitcoin finality. From day one of launch, Maestro will be developer-ready to scale to millions of users.” This infrastructure approach allows developers to execute complex dapp logic triggered and anchored by Bitcoin finality.

The integration provides developers with comprehensive tooling that connects mempool activity to final confirmation, enabling them to go from idea to deployment without waiting for third-party tools to mature. This developer-first approach is complemented by Maestro’s LLM-native documentation, which reduces the journey from concept to implementation for builders creating wallets, explorers, or DeFi protocols on the Bitcoin network.

Midl transforms Bitcoin into a utility asset by enabling smart contracts, dApps, and practical use cases for native tokens including Runes. The platform bundles multiple actions such as approvals, swaps, and follow-up steps into a single smooth flow, ensuring the total fee is spread across the entire set of actions. This approach makes decentralized application interaction feel simple while maintaining the security and predictability of Bitcoin’s execution environment.

Users benefit from retaining their existing BTC wallets and interacting with native Bitcoin tokens while gaining access to enhanced DeFi capabilities. The platform offers instant transaction execution while being able to gracefully handle Bitcoin forks and reorganizations, providing a robust user experience that maintains Bitcoin’s core security properties. This represents a significant step in making Bitcoin’s massive liquidity accessible to decentralized applications and expanding its use beyond simple transactions.

Maestro’s infrastructure, already trusted by leading protocols including ICP, Stacks, Liquidium, and Canton Network, positions this integration as part of a broader mission to accelerate blockchain development through open infrastructure. The collaboration with Midl represents another advancement in Maestro’s goal of transforming Bitcoin into the financial rails of tomorrow, combining enterprise-grade tooling with Bitcoin’s unparalleled security and market liquidity.
