Different experiments, different assumptions
The wider workshop
Litecoin’s application story is broader than any single virtual machine.
The Foundation directory includes Litecoin Computer, also known as Bitcoin Computer, whose project description uses JavaScript and client-side execution. It lists Ordinals Lite with indexing, explorer and command-line tools for digital artifacts. Stack Wallet appears as a separate open-source wallet initiative. These projects have different architectures and purposes; placing them on one page does not make them interchangeable or jointly audited.
The interesting editorial question is what each project asks the base chain to guarantee and what remains an application convention. A chain can order transactions while an indexer interprets an artifact, or a client executes additional logic. That distinction matters more than the breadth of the word “smart.” This atlas is an invitation to inspect the individual repositories and their release records. It is not a claim that an inscription has investment value, that every feature is production-ready, or that a Foundation listing transfers responsibility away from a project’s maintainers.
- Litecoin Computer is distinct from LitVM.
- Application semantics and base-chain consensus are different layers.
