Bitcoin's biggest challenge is scalability. StarkWare has a vision to change that. The concept of STARK scaling for blockchains was first introduced by Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io at a Bitcoin conference in early 2013. It's now time to scale Bitcoin with ZK-STARK, making it more accessible to everyone. The...

In our recent episode with StarkWare 🥷 & Zcash 🛡️ Co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io, we discuss Starknet (Privacy Arc)'s Bitcoin initiative as a return to first principles. Eli explains how Bitcoin today functions more like gold or real estate - a powerful store of value that mostly sits idle. To unlock lending, borrowing, and broader economic activity without leaving Bitcoin’s trust model, the system needs scalability, better UX, and expressive programmability. He argues that ZK-STARKs are the end-state for achieving this: a way to extend Bitcoin while preserving its core values of self-custody, decentralization, and censorship-resistance. This is the driver behind Starkware’s renewed focus on Bitcoin - bringing the same proof-based scalability used on Ethereum directly to Bitcoin infrastructure. For Eli, this isn’t a pivot; it’s the completion of a vision he first outlined in 2013: scaling Bitcoin with ZK proofs, the Bitcoin way. Tune in to the full episode at

There have been whispers of Bitcoin hodlers swapping BTC for Zcash 🤔🔏 Why? Because some Bitcoiners want to be able to transact with more privacy. BUT Bitcoin can still have NATIVE privacy and scale. Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io explains how ZK-proofs and OP_CAT hold the key 🗝️👇 We caught up with the 'Godfather of ZK' on Cointelegraph's Chain Reaction show this week for a deep dive into the promise of zero-knowledge technology for Bitcoin and beyond. Ben-Sasson, who co-authored the ZeroCash protocol whitepaper and helped found Zcash 🛡️, said that Bitcoin can still have native privacy and infinite scalability if developers can agree to reinstate OP_CAT, a Satoshi-era OP_Code that Bitcoin's creator disabled in 2010. It turns out that Zcash's resurgence in 2025 could be the catalyst for Bitcoin's privacy push. "I hope that one consequence of this would be that the Bitcoin community becomes more open to things like OP_CAT and OP_STARK so that it can have post-quantum security, best privacy, best scale and programmability for this beautiful hard asset that is Bitcoin." Ben-Sasson said. "The technology is ready. All you need is a soft fork adding nine lines of code that Satoshi actually introduced. It's called OP_CAT. It's very, very easy. If there's a will, there's a way. In this case, it's a very simple way to give all of that goodness to Bitcoin itself." You can watch our full conversation with Ben-Sasson in the 🧵👀📺

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #24: The History of Zero-Knowledge Proofs | with ZK “Godfather” Eli Ben Sasson In 2013, computer science professor Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io presented his research on zero-knowledge proofs at a small Bitcoin conference outside of Standford University. The presentation immediately sparked interest from Bitcoin Core developer Greg Maxwell—leading Eli into over a decade of sustained work advancing ZK-based solutions for blockchain scalability and privacy. Today, zero-knowledge proofs are widely considered some of the most powerful and promising cryptographic primitives for scaling—with their full potential for Bitcoin simmering just beneath the surface of active development. This episode shares Eli’s early discussions of ZKPs for scaling, the use of proofs in privacy-enhancing technologies like Zcash, the explosion of ZKPs for Layer 2s on Ethereum… and his recent return to exploring ZKPs for Bitcoin.

VanEck CEO Jan van Eck on CNBC: “There’s something else going on within the Bitcoin community that non-crypto people need to know about. And that is: ultimately, VanEck has been around before Bitcoin. We will walk away from Bitcoin if we think the thesis is fundamentally broken. We don’t right now, but you always have to look at the underlying technology and the crypto. What the Bitcoin community has been asking itself is: Is there enough encryption in Bitcoin, because quantum computing is coming? And secondly: Is there enough privacy in Bitcoin? And so a lot of Bitcoin OGs or maxis have been looking at Zcash. Zcash is a token. It’s sort of related to Bitcoin with a lot more privacy. The kind of garbage that we got about Bitcoin four years ago was: ‘It’s used for all bad illicit behavior.’ But now everyone kind of realizes that when you move money around on the Bitcoin blockchain, you can see it. You can see it move from one wallet to another. And a lot of people are looking for more privacy.”

The XRP Army sniffed this guy out long ago. Now he's saying the quiet part out loud. The Bitcoin PR machine made a decision somewhere back in 2017 to serve up a plate of nothing but Bitcoin Bitcoin Bitcoin Ethereum Bitcoin Bitcoin Ethereum and it was a plate of BS with a side of more BS. They had plenty of help from their friends at CNBC and the mainstream crypto media. We stayed focused on what made sense not only to us but to Pomp himself before he was told to change his narrative. XRP. Lock In!

📢 $BVM MARCH UPDATES 📢 GM. In Feb, we added these products to the BVM ecosystem: ✅BVM Staking, ✅Bitcoin Stamps, ✅SRC-20 Bridge, ✅Avail, ✅Jackal, ✅Arweave & ✅ IPFS. We're excited to share with the community what we’re shipping next in March. 1. FOUR MORE BITCOIN L2 BLOCKCHAINS BVM’s mission is to scale Bitcoin by powering thousands of Bitcoin L2s. In March, we’ll work with 4 different builders to help them launch their own Bitcoin L2 blockchains and ultimately scale Bitcoin with unlimited throughput and rich user cases. ⛓️ Swamps: DeFi Bitcoin L2 for SRC-20 @swamps_src20 is launching the first-ever Stamps-based Bitcoin L2 blockchain with BVM, designed for SRC-20 DEX. We’re super excited to be working with @0xnovae5Db RMZ 🟨 and the Swamps team. ⛓️ Naka: DeFi Bitcoin L2 for BRC-20/BRC-404 Naka Chain is an Ordinals-based Bitcoin L2 blockchain designed for BRC-20. They just added support for BRC-404. We're excited to work with DeBit | NakaChain.xyz and the Naka team. ⛓️ Satoshi Sync: Bitcoin L2 for Inscription Markets SatoshiSync is building the first chain-agnostic Inscription Protocol with BVM, enabling everyone to launch their own Inscription Market. It’s been a pleasure working with @okubalinska and the Satoshi Sync team. ⛓️ ███████: Bitcoin L2 for ████ This is a big one. We'll share it when it's ready. Super excited to be working on this with ███████ and the ███████ team. Note: If you're thinking about launching your own Bitcoin L2, please DM us. Would love to help! 2. BITCOIN MODULE STORE BVM is a modular Bitcoin L2 infrastructure. The more building blocks, the more developers can build on Bitcoin. This month, we’ll be adding these new modules to the Bitcoin Modular Store. 🧱 Filecoin Filecoin is one of the best decentralized storage networks. Developers can build their Bitcoin L2 and choose Filecoin to store their data. 🧱 Syscoin zkDA Syscoin is a Bitcoin-backed Data Availability layer. It is secured by Bitcoin’s own PoW plus Syscoin’s finality. We think it's a super interesting DA solution. 🧱 BVM-ETH Bridge Ethereum bridge will enable us to flow assets between BVM and Ethereum. You can trade $BVM on Uniswap or bridge ETH to various Bitcoin L2 blockchains powered by BVM. Note: please do make suggestions on which modules we should integrate next! 3. BRC-404 Starting out as a fun weekend experiment, BRC-404 shows us that it could become a promising protocol. $3.5M trading volume so far! 🤯🤯🤯 🎨 Fractionalize Ordinals with BRC-404 The idea is to take an existing Ordinal Inscription and turn it into BRC-404. Then, Ordinals would be much more accessible to many smaller buyers, and at the same time, the collectors would make a lot more on trading fees. That's really the beauty of semi-fungible tokens. You can move between the fungible worlds and the non-fungible worlds. 🔒 ███████ for BRC-404 This product is exciting. We can't quite talk about it yet. But we'll do it when it's ready later this month. 4. COMMUNITY While our product team is busy crunching out code, our community team is building the foundation for our community to thrive in the coming months. 🚀 Setup a home for BVM holders to hang out 🚀 Work on airdrop deals for BVM holders 🚀 List BVM on Coin Market Cap 🚀 List BVM on Gecko Terminal 🚀 List BVM on DEX 🚀 List BVM on CEX This is our plan for March. We hope to get most of it done for the community. See you on #Bitcoin
