Denna kanske skulle in under altcoins men kanske finns en poäng att göra skillnad på Bitcoin layer 2 tokens som en egen subkategori under altcoins.
Har kollat runt lite och identifierat ett par stycken alternativ. Lista gärna egna projekt om ni hittar något som verkar bra.
Personligen har jag en del Stacks och Rootsock, då båda har ambition att få ut en Stablecoin ovanpå Bitcoin, vilket är intressant.
* Stacks (STX)
* Rootsock (RIF)
* DefiChain (DFI)

* Stacks (STX)
Citat:
Stacks (CRYPTO:STX) is an open-source blockchain network that brings decentralized apps (dApps) and smart contracts to Bitcoin (BTC 1.58%). Even though they're separate blockchains, Stacks and Bitcoin are effectively able to work together.
The STX token is the network's native cryptocurrency, and it's notable for being the first token offering qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It's used on Stacks for transaction fees and deploying smart contracts. In addition, it can be "stacked" and earn Bitcoin rewards.

What makes Stacks unique?
Like other programmable blockchains, Stacks has smart contract functionality, meaning it can be used for dApps and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The unique thing about Stacks is that it links to Bitcoin and turns the Bitcoin blockchain into a programmable base layer. Most programmable blockchains, such as Ethereum (ETH 0.35%), start from scratch.
This means Stacks leverages Bitcoin's high level of security since Stacks' transactions are settled on Bitcoin. Stacks' dApps can also interact with Bitcoin even though it's a separate blockchain.
Stacks has several interesting features that make it stand out. Here are a few that are worth mentioning:
It uses a consensus mechanism called “proof of transfer” that recycles Bitcoin's proof-of-work system. Proof of transfer makes Stacks highly scalable and decentralized without causing additional environmental impact.
It uses microblocks to speed up transaction processing. Stacks is limited to the same block times as Bitcoin, but, by dividing blocks into microblocks, it can reduce processing times from minutes to seconds.
It has its own smart contract language called Clarity. An advantage of Clarity over other smart contract languages is that users can set up their own conditions for transactions and aren't limited to preprogrammed conditions.

* Rootsock (RIF)
Citat:
It's a service layer built on top of the Rootstock blockchain, offering open, decentralized tools and technologies. With RIF, developers can create scalable DeFi products quickly and easily.
RIF bridges the gap between complex blockchain technology and seamless user experience. It helps organizations create innovative DeFi products, by providing the infrastructure and resources needed to solve key user accessibility challenges.

Financial institutions and developers use the RIF token to build and interact with powerful financial products, offer alternatives to traditional banking and move money around the world seamlessly.
Anyone can access and use RIF tokens but thanks to the way the protocols are built, customers can benefit from all the advantages of DeFi without every worrying about the complexity of crypto.All RIF products are built on Rootstock. Rootstock is Bitcoin’s first and longest standing sidechain that provides EVM-compatible smart contract functionality using bitcoin as the native asset. People around the world use Rootstock every day to interact with DeFi apps secured by Bitcoin.
Rootstock’s unique position as the first open-source smart contract platform secured by the Bitcoin network makes it the ideal network to realize the full potential of RIF. Rootstock is mined by more hashpower than any other chain, except Bitcoin itself, making it the most permissionless and censorship-resistant Bitcoin sidechain.
Rootstock and RIF work hand-in-hand, allowing businesses to access secure decentralized tools that help them build DeFi solutions for their users.

* DefiChain (DFI)
Citat:
DeFiChain is a specialized blockchain dedicated to decentralized finance (DeFi). It offers functionalities like decentralized lending, token wrapping, and exchanges. Prioritizing high transaction throughput and security, it is a non-Turing-complete blockchain, focusing on financial services efficiency, with features built upon the Bitcoin ecosystem for enhanced reliability.
DeFiChain views the cryptocurrency industry based on a simple premise: People should be in control of their finances. However, current systems are still far from providing financial services that are truly under the control of the people who use them. The goal of DeFiChain is to give people (and in the future, machines and devices) seamless access to decentralized financial services, by bringing full DeFi capabilities to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
In 2019, the team identified the core challenges to bringing DeFi mainstream
Most general purpose platforms like Ethereum require a large amount of coding to provide financial services, increasing the risk of hackability or bugs in the code.
There are large issues with scaling on many of these platforms — increased usage of a particular dApp affects the gas prices for all transactions on the platform.
Governance models of most of today’s blockchains are immature and showing signs of politicization, centralization and uncertainty.
DeFi is concentrated to a few platforms — hence the space is missing out on a big part of the crypto market. The solution to the challenges were suggested as:
Build a blockchain specially for DeFi use cases
Build on top of Bitcoin and anchor to the Bitcoin blockchain for maximum security
Support all major cryptoassets
Ultilize a hybrid proof of stake and work consensus mechanism
Incorporate on-chain governance system
With atomic swap interoperability on Bitcoin and other major crypto projects, DeFiChain aims to enable crypto users to seamlessly transact over a wide array of financial instruments in a fully unrestricted, decentralized, fast and secure manner with low transaction fees.
The initial function set of DeFiChain includes decentralized lending, wrapping of tokens, pricing oracles, exchanges, futures trading (equities and commodities), transferable debts and receivables, non-collateralized debt, asset tokenization distribution of dividends.
