# Introduction Prosper sets out to redefine the possibilities of on-chain liquidity and what a decentralized protocol can bring to the community. This is the perfect next chapter for Prosper, a unique opportunity to further decentralize the Bitcoin ecosystem, by bringing Bitcoin’s underlying network layer—Bitcoin mining power—on-chain to enable community participation and ownership and creating a new fundamental building block for the broader ecosystem. {% embed url="" %} Prosper sees a rare opportunity at the intersection of some of the largest and fastest-growing sectors within the industry: Bitcoin as proven “digital gold” worth $1.3 trillion \[1], Bitcoin mining operations with a combined market value of $19 billion \[2], and RWA projects surpassing $12 billion in value \[3]—yet there is no pure-play project filling the gap. By bringing together best-in-class industry partners and service providers, Prosper is unlocking this massive potential by redesigning our protocol mechanism and utilities around our native token PROS. ## **Join us now** * Visit our website: * Launch web app: coming soon * Follow us on X: * Join the community on Telegram: * See our latest news: *** \[1] Messari; as of 30 Sep 2024 \[2] Bloomberg; as of 30 Sep 2024 \[3] Binance Research; as of 13 Sep 2024 --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
