Metanet is a simple protocol that lets you create virtual data structures on Bitcoin. By taking the form of a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) it lets you build any typical data structure used in computer science.
- An array is a tree with a parent + its children represented in chronological/topological order.
- A map is a tree with a parent + its children, each of which is identified by a unique key.
- You can even invent your own data structure.
And it’s not just any data structure. It’s a data structure for storing, transferring, and authorizing real value. All this is natively powered by Bitcoin and can be programmatically operated with Bitcoin, in any way you can imagine.
Bitcoin + Metanet: The Most Efficient Programmable Data Ledger
Bitcoin is the most efficient data storage protocol, and Metanet is the most efficient data structure protocol which sits on top of it.
