We're excited to announce that Kontor's file storage system is now live on Bitcoin Signet!
It is now possible to 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 on the Bitcoin blockchain thanks to @kontornetwork
Our scalable perpetual file storage system is now live on Signet. Register, login, upload - three steps to permanent storage.
Developers can test the Kontor-Portal-Client library today.
The Kontor block explorer is live on Signet. Search transactions, explore blocks, and monitor network activity. Everything running end-to-end on Bitcoin. Try it: kor.space
Kontor file storage is live on Signet.
Users: experience perpetual storage on Bitcoin firsthand.
Developers: test the new Kontor-Portal-Client library.
Sigil quietly closes off patterns LLMs misuse most: typed end-to-end contract interfaces, structured storage instead of hand-built string keys, no delegatecall equivalent. An entire family of proxy-storage exploits simply cannot be expressed in Sigil.
No Bitcoin node. No indexer. Hundreds of tests per second on a laptop.
Sigil contracts test as ordinary Rust against an in-memory backend - the feedback loop AI agents need.
𝗞𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿'𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀: When the network is young, fees are literally zero to help onboarding.
As usage grows, fees appear and balance emissions through burns. No mining. No validators. Fees adapt to network maturity.
A growing share of new smart contracts are being written with the help of large language models.
𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗿𝗮: Rust is the language AI codes best in, and writing a Sigil contract feels like writing ordinary Rust.
The compiler catches mistakes before they ever reach deployment.

"I think the Kontor storage system is better for permanent data storage than any I've seen."
Why? It's on Bitcoin. You're using Bitcoin security to enforce data availability. No network switching required. Store Ordinals art, Counterparty assets, encryption data - all without leaving Bitcoin. That's the key distinction.

Sigil contracts catch errors at compile time, not runtime. An Integer stays an Integer throughout your contract - no raw bytes, no manual parsing.
Type safety from storage to function calls means entire classes of bugs simply cannot exist. Correct by construction.

"IPFS is an addressing and retrieval system. People use it as a data storage system and it shouldn't be used that way. It's not reliable."
Kontor solves this: Bitcoin-level reliability for data storage. As permanent as Bitcoin transactions, but scalable and affordable.

Kontor's hybrid model lets assets live in smart contracts for fast execution or attach to UTXOs for atomic swaps. Chain them together in one transaction.
Why metaprotocols matter - Adam explains the Kontor approach: fast, scalable, and entirely on-chain.
NEW POD: Are we giving away the store with Bitcoin L2s?
Jacob sat down with Adam Krellenstein (@agkrellenstein) - Creator of @CounterpartyXCP & @kontornetwork.
We discuss:
• Why L2s are a mistake
• Hal Finney Inventing Metaprotocols
• DeFi on Bitcoin in 2014
• Bitcoin-secured storage
• Scaling up vs scaling out
• How Kontor Network works

No sidechains. No rollups.
Every transaction is on-chain. Just Bitcoin.

Swaps alone aren't enough to build a functional financial ecosystem.
Want to use an Ordinal as collateral for a loan? Provide Runes as AMM liquidity?
