# Tap

TAP is an extendible OrdFi-enabling protocol that includes - but is not limited to - the TAP token standard.

TAP works entirely without the use of L2 chains or other overly complex mechanics, but utilizes tapping - a simple mechanism to verify transactions within the protocol.

The goal of TAP is to built upon what made BRC-20 great but maintaining independence from centralized entities. TAP allows for new features that will be consistently added to the protocol by community driven governance.

The BRC-20 ticker lengths 1,2 and 4 are reserved for future interordinal bridging between BRC-20 and TAP Tokens and cannot be deployed on TAP.
