Inspect transactions for NFTs, BRC-20 and more you are by simulating them before signing. Taproot enables a variety of new complex protocols that make it increasingly harder to interpret what it is executed within a transaction. Virtoshi aims to fix that!

I had set out to learn about Rust and was curious about all the new protocols that are being built on Taproot and quickly discovered that many of them relied on their own off-chain consensus layer. Protocols like Ordinals and BRC-20 require indexing the whole blockchain in order to evaluate if a transfer is valid or not. This fundamentally changes the game for all Bitcoin wallets as the days where you could simply tally up the inputs and outputs to figure out what's being transferred are long gone. That's exactly why I decided to build out the Virtoshi API, I want to enable dApps and Wallets to simulate transactions so their users can enjoy a user experience with confidence that they are not sending out some valuable NFT by accident.

Cheers on the launch 🎉
