Watching Bitcoin transactions using BTCRelay

Ethereum supports the transfer and verification of Ether by default. If the target users use Bitcoin more than Ethereum, then interoperability between Bitcoin and Ethereum becomes a problem. To solve this issue, Ethereum has a smart contract that stores and relays Bitcoin transactions so that Ethereum DApps can verify Bitcoin transactions.

In this recipe, you will learn to use BTCRelay, which acts as a bridge between the Bitcoin blockchain and Ethereum smart contracts.

To discover new and popular DApps in the Ethereum network, you can use State of the DApps (https://www.stateofthedapps.com/), which is a DApp registry. You can also submit your own DApp to the registry.
