Torram Launches dApp Challenge: 3 Million Tokens up for grabs to bring institutional DeFi apps natively to Bitcoin

TLDR: Real DeFi on Bitcoin starts now. Torram’s challenge dares builders to bring native stablecoins, lending dApps, and RWA platforms to Bitcoin L1.

TORONTO, CANADA, June 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Torram is putting out the call to builders: launch real DeFi applications on Bitcoin L1 and win up to 1 million Torram tokens each. The team behind Bitcoin’s first complete middleware stack has kicked off the 1M Token Builder Challenge– a multi-phase competition rewarding developers building Bitcoin-native dApps. With Torram Testnet V2.0 now live, the network unlocks programmability and a new token standard natively on Bitcoin – no bridges, no L2s, and no wraps.

With Bitcoin hitting all-time highs above $110K and mainstream momentum building, there’s never been a better time to build. Developers can now deploy on Bitcoin with block times as fast as 60 seconds without bridges or L2s.

“Torram network cures Bitcoin's limitations and amplifies its strength. Our BUIDL thesis has been - do what's possible on Bitcoin, and leave the rest to Torram. Now, you can witness that with Torram network V2.0,” Lee Raj, Co-Founder & CTO said.

Built for Builders
Torram Network 2.0 is the result of over a year of R&D to deliver what Bitcoin has been missing: expressive programmability, real-time on chain price data, and ERC20 behaviour to Bitcoin native assets.

Today’s Bitcoin-native stack is fragmented and modular. But Bitcoin itself is monolithic by design, and Torram believes its surrounding infrastructure should be too. This reduces complexity and eliminates common failure points seen in modular stacks.

This is Bitcoin’s Ethereum moment. With Torram, builders can finally unlock the functionality of Ethereum and other chains without leaving Bitcoin’s trust layer.

“Torram gives builders not just tools, but a foundation: smart contracts, oracles, and a programmable token standard. We’re creating the layer devs need to launch scalable DeFi applications,” Vakeesan Mahalingam, CFA, Co-Founder & CEO said.
