What is a B² Network RPC Node?

Access Bitcoin's smart contract layer

A B² Network RPC node provides applications with access to a Bitcoin Layer 2 that combines zero-knowledge rollups with Bitcoin's security model. Unlike sidechains that have separate security assumptions, B² anchors its state to Bitcoin mainnet, inheriting Bitcoin's unmatched decentralization and security while enabling EVM smart contracts impossible on Bitcoin L1.

Why Bitcoin needs Layer 2

Bitcoin is the most secure blockchain but has limited programmability. Layer 2 solutions like B² Network unlock Bitcoin's potential by enabling complex applications while settling to Bitcoin's secure base layer. This approach preserves Bitcoin's core strengths while expanding its capabilities to include DeFi, NFTs, and sophisticated smart contracts.

B² Network advantages:

  • Bitcoin security — inherits L1 security guarantees
  • ZK rollups — cryptographic proof verification
  • EVM compatible — deploy Solidity contracts
  • BTC native — use Bitcoin as gas token
  • Taproot enabled — leverages latest Bitcoin upgrades
  • BTCFi focus — unlock Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem

How B² anchors to Bitcoin

B² uses Taproot to commit rollup state roots to Bitcoin mainnet. Zero-knowledge proofs verify that state transitions are valid, and these proofs plus state commitments are inscribed on Bitcoin. This creates a cryptographic chain of custody from B²'s execution layer to Bitcoin's settlement layer.

B² architecture:

  1. Transactions executed on B² Network (off-chain)
  2. ZK proofs generated verifying execution correctness
  3. State commitments inscribed on Bitcoin via Taproot
  4. Bitcoin miners secure the commitment data
  5. B² state inherits Bitcoin's finality and security

Unlocking Bitcoin's value

With over $1.3T in Bitcoin value largely sitting idle, BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents a massive opportunity. B² Network enables Bitcoin holders to use their BTC in DeFi protocols, earn yield, and participate in sophisticated financial applications — all while maintaining Bitcoin's security guarantees.

As Bitcoin Layer 2 technology matures, solutions like B² unlock Bitcoin's potential as programmable money.

Technical Documentation

Quick start for developers

Supported RPC Methods

B² Network supports all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods:

  • eth_blockNumber — current block number
  • eth_getBalance — BTC balance
  • eth_call — execute view functions
  • eth_sendRawTransaction — broadcast transactions
  • eth_getTransactionReceipt — transaction confirmation
  • eth_getLogs — event logs
  • eth_gasPrice — current gas price (in BTC)
  • eth_estimateGas — gas estimation
  • eth_subscribe — WebSocket subscriptions

Code Examples

💻

JavaScript (ethers.js) — B² Network Connection:

const { ethers } = require('ethers');

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/b2/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Verify we're on B² Network
const network = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId); // 223

// Get BTC balance on B² Network
const balance = await provider.getBalance('0x...');
console.log('BTC Balance on B²:', ethers.formatEther(balance));

// Deploy BTCFi protocol
const BTCFI_ABI = [
  'function depositBTC() external payable',
  'function getUserPosition(address) view returns (uint256)'
];
const btcfi = new ethers.Contract('0x...', BTCFI_ABI, wallet);

// Deposit BTC into DeFi protocol
const tx = await btcfi.depositBTC({ value: ethers.parseEther('0.1') });
await tx.wait();
console.log('BTC deposited into DeFi on Bitcoin L2!');
💻

Python (web3.py) — B² Network Setup:

from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/b2/YOUR_API_KEY'))

print('Connected to B² Network:', w3.is_connected())
print('Chain ID:', w3.eth.chain_id)  # 223
print('Latest block:', w3.eth.block_number)

# Gas price in BTC
gas_price = w3.eth.gas_price
print(f'Gas price (BTC): {gas_price}')

# Get BTC balance
balance = w3.eth.get_balance('0x...')
print(f'BTC on B²: {balance / 1e18}')
💻

WebSocket — Monitor Bitcoin L2:

const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/b2/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Monitor new blocks on Bitcoin L2
provider.on('block', async (blockNumber) => {
  const block = await provider.getBlock(blockNumber);
  console.log(`B² block ${blockNumber}: ${block.transactions.length} txs`);
});

// Monitor BTC transfers on Layer 2
const filter = {
  topics: [ethers.id('Transfer(address,address,uint256)')]
};

provider.on(filter, (log) => {
  console.log('BTC transfer on Layer 2:', log);
});
