What is Oyl Corp?

Oyl Corp is the company behind a suite of open source infrastructure designed to unlock the next stage of unstoppable programmability on Bitcoin.

Through trustless, permissionless primitives, Oyl Corp enables developers to build on Bitcoin Layer 1 without custodians, bridges, or compromise. Its contributions span indexing, protocol design, asset standards, and application-layer tooling aligned with Bitcoin’s core values.

Oyl Corp is the team behind:

  • Sandshrew – a unified RPC for building on Bitcoin
  • Metashrew – a WASM indexing stack for building metaprotocols on Bitcoin
  • Protorunes – a framework to build programmable subprotocols of Runes
  • Alkanes – a smart contract metaprotocol for Bitcoin L1
  • Oyl Wallet – a consumer interface for Bitcoin-native assets and DeFi
  • Oyl AMM – the first trustless, on-chain automated market maker built for Bitcoin

Oyl Protocol​

The Oyl Protocol is a set of persistent, non-upgradable smart contracts that together form a Bitcoin-native AMM. It facilitates peer-to-peer market making, liquidity provisioning, and token swaps settled directly on Bitcoin.

Oyl AMM Interface​

The Oyl AMM Interface is one of many ways to interact with the Oyl Protocol. It provides a user-friendly web interface for swapping tokens, adding liquidity, and tracking markets.
