# Level up with Bitcoin dapps

**Bitcoin dapps** are smart contracts that run exactly as programmed on Bitcoin chains — without possible downtime, censorship, fraud, or third-party interference. Bitcoin dapps add utilities for Bitcoin without changing Bitcoin.

Add dapps built by BVM devs (and soon third-party devs) to your Bitcoin chain with BVM Studio. Use the same no-code, visual, drag-and-drop user experience BVM Studio provides.
