BIT has released a new roadmap, planning to build the "Bitcoin Security Budget Layer" to promote the openness of the mining reward mechanism

On May 7th, BIT—the ecosystem project behind the Bitcoin TAP Protocol—unveiled a new roadmap, outlining a focus on building a "Bitcoin Security Budget Layer" and exploring ways to provide additional incentive sources for Bitcoin miners via a token issuance mechanism. The BIT team noted that under the current TAP Protocol, only the NAT token can be distributed to miners via the protocol’s built-in mechanism. The associated logic is hard-coded into the protocol’s source code, applying solely to dmt-nat—meaning other DMT projects cannot access this feature. Additionally, the TAP Protocol has not yet publicly released the results of a third-party security audit. Reportedly, BIT previously submitted an upgrade proposal to TAP’s official team, seeking to open the miner subsidy mechanism to all DMT tokens—but the proposal was not accepted. Per the new roadmap, BIT intends to fork the TAP Protocol for development and launch a new framework. This framework will let DMT projects customize token issuance rules and miner reward distribution via a single-line inscription—covering mining pool weight allocation, independent miner reward pools, hybrid incentive models, and more—while eliminating hard-coded permission designs tied to specific projects. BIT added that a third-party security audit will be completed prior to the new protocol’s mainnet launch, and the BIT token will serve as the native token of the new ecosystem, participating in ongoing development.
