Liquid Network 🌊

Bitcoin derivatives belong on Bitcoin infrastructure. @stokr_io CEO @Arnab_Naskarr explains how they have used Liquid to issue over $1.3b of regulated structured products.

Signing atomic swaps from a hww while preserving ones privacy through liquid is pretty neat, imo.

Real transactions. Real production sidechain. @blksresearch is running SHRINCS, an optimized hash-based signature scheme, on @Liquid_BTC right now. This is what preparing Bitcoin infrastructure for the post-quantum era looks like. blog.blockstream.com/blockstream-re…

The @blksresearch team is developing and deploying post-quantum security for Bitcoin. Director of Research @n1ckler joined the @TFTC21 pod to talk about making sure Bitcoin stays resilient to the most powerful adversaries and what that effort would mean.

AQUA keeps getting better. ⚡ With multi-wallet, you can now manage separate seed phrases inside one superapp, clean, simple, and fully under your control. Handle your #Bitcoin and USDt across Lightning, @Liquid_BTC, and On-chain in one seamless flow. 🐬

UTXO-based smart contracts are complex and difficult to comprehend. That's why we built Simplex. To make the life of a Simplicity developer a tiny bit easier. 100% rust. Now in alpha. Ready for use.

It’s getting easier for attackers to grind prefixes and suffixes of addresses. So I thought of a different (and maybe easier) way to quickly verify an address. Just read the sequence of numbers in blue! 🐬 So when transacting with another AQUA user, just ask them to confirm the numbers. Or if sending to yourself, you can quickly scan the numbers to verify. Even if you want to confirm the entire address, the breaks with color coded numbers make it easier to read over spaces every 4 characters. Maybe other wallets will pick up on this and adopt it in the future.

How does Jade work with Lightning if it's a hardware wallet? @Liquid_BTC is the bridge. When someone sends a Lightning payment to your @Blockstream app wallet, it arrives as LBTC in your Jade-secured wallet. When you pay a Lightning invoice, your LBTC swaps out over Lightning. Addresses are generated offline. Jade signs every transaction. Private keys never touch an internet-connected device.

ICYMI: Developers have released Simplex, a Rust-based framework for building, testing, and deploying Simplicity smart contracts on the @Liquid_BTC Network. btctimes.com/developers-rel…

🪽Sneak peek at the next Ibis wallet update! We're adding modular L2 support with Lightning swaps, starting with Liquid and later Ark. L2 support will be completely optional. Users can enable or disable seamlessly without affecting L1 wallet functionality.

Lightning ↔ Liquid swaps arrived in December. On-chain ↔ Liquid swaps land today. With this update, @BlockstreamJade is the first hardware wallet with full access to the Bitcoin stack: ⚡ Lightning for speed 🌊 Liquid for flexibility ⛓️ On-chain for finality blog.blockstream.com/jade-lightning…

The power of Liquid<>Lightning interoperability. Two of the most secure layer-two protocols, both with proven track records, working together to make bitcoin transactions cheaper, more private, and faster for everyday users. 🌊⚡️

New developer tooling suite for implementing, testing and deploying Simplicity smart contracts on Liquid. 👀🌊

Blockstream Jade x @unchained 🤝 You can now use your fully open-source, Bitcoin-only @BlockstreamJade as a key within Unchained’s collaborative custody vaults.

Setting up Jade Plus in Rose Gold. 12-word recovery phrase → Genuine Check → 6-digit PIN → Bitcoin and @Liquid_BTC addresses verified on-device. Three connection options: USB, Bluetooth, or fully air-gapped.

Liquid provides the most robust and proven Bitcoin infrastructure. Simplicity is the most advanced way to unlock that power. Join the Simplicity Office Hours, Tuesday 8:00 AM PT, to dive into the tech, ask questions, share ideas. docs.simplicity-lang.org/office-hours/

Simplicity verifies any zero-knowledge proof on-chain. Andrew Poelstra (@blksresearch) explains how @starkware built a STARK verifier that fits in a block.

We sat down with Matt Odell and talked SideSwap, Liquid, Swaption, and how prediction markets could work with Simplicity. Give it a listen. 🚀
