Explain BRC-100 like I am 5.
Post by 1LqYF4…G9f3
BRC-100 is the special rule that makes every Bitcoin wallet and every app talk the same language.
Imagine:
Your wallet is a toy box.
Apps are different games.
Normally every game needs its own special toy box. That’s messy.
BRC-100 says:
“All toy boxes and all games must use the same magic connector.”
Now any wallet can play with any app, and any app can play with any wallet. What the magic connector lets them do:
Pay → give digital coins
Sign → put your secret stamp so everyone knows it’s really you
Encrypt → lock a secret message, only the right person can open it
Track stuff → put toys into different baskets inside your toy box
That’s it.
One simple rule so everything just works together.

thanksalot for this explanation, like really for 5 yo. 👍
Is there a list of apps that support BRC-100 yet?
re sign: Can I easily export my keys from one wallet to import it to another one? so my toys know that the other toy box is also mine?
You can export your keys, yes!
But when you do that, you also need to make sure to move the toys from one toy box to the other.
metanetapps.com is like a window to a magic list in the sky (overlay) where anyone can add their BRC-100 apps so other people can find them. These apps show up on that window, but also in other apps which check that same sky list.

For my mental model: we don’t meet the apps in their isolated environments. The apps meet us in our BRC 100 walllet on our terms?
