Tap Protocol Launches Taparoo Swap: The First DeFi Solution on Bitcoin Layer 1

Tap Protocol, leading the charge in Bitcoin Layer 1 development, is proud to announce the launch of Taparoo Swap–the world’s first decentralized exchange (DEX) on Bitcoin. This first-of-its-kind launch makes decentralized finance (DeFi) accessible on the Bitcoin blockchain, removing the need for roll-ups or Layer 2 solutions. It represents a major milestone, unlocking new functionality for the original blockchain.
Taparoo Swap brings peer-to-peer swaps and liquidity pools directly on Bitcoin’s primary layer. Its launch follows a highly successful beta-testing phase where more than 2,000 swaps were executed, moving about 4 Bitcoin–even with a $50 advisory limit per swap. The trial highlights the strong demand for on-chain DeFi solutions on Bitcoin and underscores Taparoo’s potential as a driving force in advancing Bitcoin’s utility in the DeFi space.
Utilising smart contracts to complete transactions, Tap Protocol and Taparoo Swap enable this functionality directly on Bitcoin–no roll-ups or Layer 2 solutions required. It also drives efficiency on the chain, solving a challenge faced by developers seeking to enhance Bitcoin’s utility.
“It’s been a long-standing belief that you cannot build on Bitcoin without enhanced developments or updates across the chain. Taparoo Swap is just one example of how Tap Protocol is making this possible” said Benny the Dev, developer and CEO of Tap Protocol.
The growing community of users and supporters on the platform is already rallying behind Taperoo Swap’s vision—mirrorint the transformative impact that similar platforms have achieved on chains like Ethereum and Solana.
