What is OPCAT (OPCAT)?

Source description

“We propose a novel UTXO-based token protocol on Bitcoin, called Covenant Attested Token (CAT) Protocol. It is miner validated and uses smart contracts, specifically covenants, to manage token mints and transfers. Compared with all existing token protocols on Bitcoin, it is solely enforced by Bitcoin Script at Layer 1 and has the following features. CAT protocol supports both fungible tokens (called CAT20 standard) and non-fungible tokens (called CAT721 standard). The techniques developed here are general purpose and can be applied in use cases beyond tokens.”

OPCAT (OPCAT) FAQ

How does the Covenant Attested Token (CAT) Protocol use Bitcoin’s UTXO model?

The project describes CAT as a UTXO-based token protocol built for Bitcoin. It uses Bitcoin’s transaction-output structure to represent and manage token activity, while covenants—smart-contract-like spending conditions—govern how token mints and transfers are handled. This design is presented as a way to coordinate token operations within Bitcoin’s existing Layer 1 scripting framework.

What does miner validation mean in the CAT Protocol?

CAT is described as miner validated, meaning its token rules are intended to be checked as part of Bitcoin transaction processing rather than by a separate token-indexing authority. The project states that minting and transfers are enforced through Bitcoin Script at Layer 1, with miners validating transactions according to the applicable protocol conditions.

What is the CAT20 standard used for?

CAT20 is the protocol’s stated standard for fungible tokens. Fungible assets are interchangeable units, so each token of a given CAT20 issue is intended to have the same characteristics as another unit of that issue. The project presents CAT20 as one of two token formats supported by the CAT Protocol, alongside its non-fungible CAT721 standard.

How does CAT721 differ from CAT20?

CAT721 is presented as the CAT Protocol’s standard for non-fungible tokens, while CAT20 is intended for fungible assets. Non-fungible tokens are individually distinguishable rather than interchangeable on a one-for-one basis. The project states that both formats can use the same covenant-based, Bitcoin Script-enforced framework for managing mints and transfers.

What is distinctive about the CAT Protocol’s Layer 1 enforcement?

The project claims that CAT is enforced solely by Bitcoin Script at Bitcoin’s Layer 1, rather than relying on an external execution layer for its core token rules. Its stated approach combines Bitcoin’s UTXO model with covenants to manage token operations. The project also describes the underlying techniques as general purpose and potentially applicable beyond token issuance.

OPCAT metric comparison

This comparison is a stored snapshot generated 2026-10-23 06:31 UTC from 50 daily observations available from 2025-12-30 through 2026-02-27. It is separate from the latest analytical cards above. Percentiles compare the snapshot value with that day's analytical universe; a higher percentile means a larger observed value, not necessarily a better investment characteristic.

Reading rule: lower is better in this ranking.

  • 7d window: no reference point available.
  • 30d window: no reference point available.

YearBull Rank is a relative ranking on YearBull designed to compare coins on a common scale and time window. It is a context signal for relative placement, not an outcome forecast.

Risk read: consistency often matters more than speed.

Venue angle: improvement with higher churn can be a rotation phase.

Market depth: a quiet tape can still re-rank the pack.

Market phase: a quick bounce can still be a mean-reversion phase.
