Bitcoin was built for trustless finance yet, ironically, it’s the least used chain for real financial applications. Why? Because until now, it lacked the native infrastructure to support stablecoins, RWAs, and institutional-grade compliance.
TSB-P (Taproot Script-Based Protocol), innovated by Torram, changes that. For the first time, institutions can issue programmable, secure, and auditable tokens directly on Bitcoin with no bridges, no custodians, and no consensus changes.
Why Institutional Tokenization Hasn’t Happened on Bitcoin (Until Now)
Institutions want programmable assets.
They need:
- Compliance hooks
- Anti-counterfeit guarantees
- Lifecycle tracking (mint → transfer → redemption)
- Oracle or signature-based automation
None of the existing Bitcoin token standards Ordinals, BRC-20, RGB, or even Taproot Assets satisfy all of these needs at once. They were built for retail experimentation, not regulated finance.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
| Feature | TSB-P | BRC-20 | Ordinals | Taproot Assets | RGB |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin-native Support | ✅ Taproot script | ✅ Ordinals | ✅ Witness | ✅ Taproot | ⚠️ Partial |
| Token Reveal Requires Signatures | ✅ Yes | ❌ | ❌ | ⚠️ Optional | ✅ Yes |
| Compliance-bound Types | ✅ Yes | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ⚠️ Off-chain |
| Oracle integration | ✅ Yes(via Torram) | ❌ | ❌ | ⚠️ via LND | ⚠️ via client |
| Owner = UTXO holder | ✅ Direct | ⚠️ Not direct | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ Not direct |
| Smart Contract Execution | ✅ Yes(via Torram) | ❌ | ❌ | ⚠️ Limited | ✅ |
| Time based unlocks | ✅ Yes(CLTV Supported) | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ⚠️ Complex |
| On-chain Metadata | ✅Fully Embedded | ✅ In JSON | ✅ Inscription | ✅ Partial | ✅Rich |
| Token Disappears if spent (burned) | ✅ | ⚠️ Manual | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Designed for Compliance/Stablecoins | ✅ Primary Use | ❌ | ❌ | ⚠️ Not Focused | ⚠️ Experimental |
TSB-P is the only protocol that gives you the core asset guarantees institutions need built natively on Bitcoin, without trust assumptions or centralized registry dependencies.
How It Works
TSB-P uses Taproot scripts to embed token metadata directly into Bitcoin outputs. Tokens only reveal their details (type, quantity, compliance data) upon spending, not at mint.
The result:
- No global indexer needed
- No replay attacks or double claims
- Every transfer is a new identity (via TXID)
This creates native auditability, clean provenance, and full compliance context all from the UTXO alone.
Example token identity:
USDC:f55bb6b5c9ba43 → Verifiably minted, non-replayable, traceable.
Why TSB-P + Torram Unlock Bitcoin for Institutions
TSB-P establishes the token rail. Torram adds programmability through Bitcoin-native primitives:
- Time-based unlocks (vesting schedules, compliance windows)
- Signature-gated transfers (authorized payments, legal contracts)
- Oracle triggers (rate-based actions, RWA settlement conditions)
- Proof-of-ownership + payment receipts (anchored to TXIDs, no trust required)
This unlocks use cases like:
- Stablecoin issuance with KYC controls
- On-chain escrow + invoice finance
- RWA settlement on Bitcoin
- Time-locked payroll or incentives (e.g., employee equity)
No rollups, no wrapped assets. Just Bitcoin doing what institutions need: secure, traceable, programmable money.
Why Institutions Should Build on Bitcoin Now
Bitcoin remains the most secure blockchain in history. But without native programmability, it has long been overlooked for serious financial applications.
TSB-P + Torram close that gap.
For stablecoin providers, RWA protocols, neobank apps, and regulated exchanges, this is a path to:
- Reduce custodial risk
- Issue assets directly on Bitcoin
- Maintain compliance integrity
- Expand market access without bridges or L2 friction
What’s Next?
Torram’s infrastructure is live on testnet. Developers can begin integrating TSB-P token issuance, tracking, and settlement workflows today. We’re working with ecosystem partners to build wallets and explorer support around TSB-P.
This is your chance to bring real finance to Bitcoin and help define what Bitcoin-native institutions will look like.
