<h2><strong>Growing the Bitcoin Blockchain</strong></h2>
Trust Machines claims that the only reason other blockchains have been successful is their ability to run decentralized applications. For longer-term success, high-value applications should be built on Bitcoin as the final settlement layer, according to the company.

Trust Machines wishes to extend bitcoin from being just a passive store of value to being the final settlement layer for a powerful new computational platform. The company further plans to grow the new economy of applications powered by bitcoin and settle on the bitcoin blockchain.
