Excited to announce the formation of the BitVM Alliance! Together, we're joining forces to deliver the first BitVM Bridges by the end of the year. Stay tuned!

Excited to introduce the Shielded CSV 🛡️: Private and Efficient Client-Side Validation! Big thanks to co-authors @liameagen and @robin_linus. Check out the whitepaper: github.com/ShieldedCSV/Sh… tl;dr: "The most interesting thing you can do with BitVM" (@robin_linus) 👉 First fully private Client-Side Validation (CSV) protocol that hides the transaction history 👉 Coin proof size and verification cost independent of transaction history 👉 64-byte cost on-chain per transaction, regardless of transaction size 👉 Supports t-of-n accounts and atomic swaps 👉 Protocol spec is written in rust (github.com/ShieldedCSV/Sh…) Motivation: 👉 Assuming a bridge to Bitcoin: enables 100 _private_ 🛡️ Bitcoin transactions per second. 👉 Improves over private cryptocurrencies: expensive ZK proofs never land on-chain and need not be verified by all full nodes. It took me a very long time to realize the potential of CSV (11 years?) but I think this may be just the beginning. There's so much opportunity for innovation. Big shoutout 🫡to the pioneers of client-side validation: @peterktodd @dr_orlovsky @giacomozucco @dr_ukolova @roasbeef @HiokiLeona @robin_linus @liameagen and others!

Excited to share our work on BitVM bridges: A novel trust-minimized protocol to bridge Bitcoins to second layers. Huge thanks to @lukas_aumayr, @alexeiZamyatin, Andrea Pelosi, @zetavar1, and @matteo_maffei for their amazing contributions 🧡 bitvm.org/bitvm_bridge.p…

@allenf32 In section 5 you mention three or four-way pegs. How do you define a three-way peg?

is it like the spelling mistakes in Nigerian Prince emails and the ░M░Y░P░ U░S░S░ Y░I░ N░B░I░O░ bots? intentionally bad to filter out people with more than two functioning brain cells, leaving only the easiest marks?

Cypherpunks researching bridge designs

@joakimhi Dev work on bitvm in rust has just started and getting up to par to the js version should not take too long. Half-way done with all the composed opcodes we will need :)

wen bitVM-rust ?

Join us for the BitVM party at @cypherpunklab SF 7pm tonight with our friends @robin_linus @super_testnet and team🔥🤘 Cypherpunks write code

Everyone's talking about using BitVM. Put your money where your mouth is and give open source grants.

2023 has been a blast! ✅ Founded nonprofit ✅ Chain proof prototype ✅ zkCoins paper ✅ Bitcoin ZKPs paper ✅ Header chain proof ✅ BitVM paper ✅ Blake3 in Script ✅ BitStream paper ✅ BitVM prototype ✅ ZKP Satellite broadcast Thanks to everyone supporting @ZeroSync_ 🧡🧡🧡

xmas project done: rv32i to #bitvm with rv32ui tests passing (except for fence.i oddly enough) github.com/zippiehq/rv32i… disclaimer: some new ops still to be written on bitvm bitcoin script side for this to work chat at @ t.me/bitVM_chat next up: @cartesiproject on bitvm

@My100DaysOfDeFi This was a small fun project to round off the year at ZeroSync and showcase Blockstream Satellite. Zkp compression is crazy and allows us to broadcast the header chain to people who are not even connected to the internet in a single package. Though everyone I know has internet 😅

@ZeroSync_ @robin_linus @lucidLuckylee @Blockstream I assume it’s a great feat. But we miss the point. We could easily have doubled engagement if you could translate this feat into what value it brings or what it means for the future. What’s the story here? I doubt a lot of peeps will understand what this means.

Our great team member @lucidLuckylee just broadcasted the first chain state proof from space via @Blockstream Satellite! 📡🛰️💻 🥳🥳🥳

X-mas coding project: rv32i to #bitvm transpiler

worth retweeting once in a while 😁

Here you can watch the ZeroSync talk which @lucidLuckylee and @robin_linus gave at Bitcoin Amsterdam youtube.com/watch?v=rubs5S…

@mononautical @rot13maxi @ZeroSync_ Spend the rainy Sundays with proof generation instead 😏

@rot13maxi @ZeroSync_ instant zk validation is cool I guess, but does it have that "watching the hard drive defrag on a rainy Sunday" kind of vibe we all know and love?

Daily reminder that you can validate the chain of bitcoin headers in less than 3 seconds with about 1.5kB of data on your phone RIGHT NOW through the magic of starks: zerosync.org/demo/ @ZeroSync_ is magical
