Moving funds into a quantum-safe output still leaves every exposed public key on Bitcoin sitting there until someone chooses to migrate it. Reused addresses and old UTXOs with revealed keys stay vulnerable the whole time, which makes this a useful escape hatch rather than a fix for the chain's default signature scheme. Worth tracking how fast adoption of QSB-style outputs spreads once wallets support it

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. As always, you can view this episode on YouTube or Spotify via the linktree in my bio—YouTube link in comments as well.

What if #AI became as decentralized as #Bitcoin? We sat down with our new friend 3700 from Bitcoin Virtual Machine to hear what their incredible team of anons are working on - "Truly Open AI." Full interview here:👇 1: What positive impact will Layer 2s have on Bitcoin? Layer 2s on Bitcoin open up opportunities for innovation, allowing developers to build dApps and smart contracts on top of Bitcoin, expanding its utility and use cases. By submitting transactions for final settlement on the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin Layer 2 networks claim to achieve the same (or close to) level of security and decentralization as the Bitcoin blockchain. Building a separate execution layer allows them the freedom to employ several technologies (such as rollups). Layer 2 can significantly improve Bitcoin's scalability by processing transactions off-chain, reducing congestion on the main blockchain. Overall, Layer 2s on Bitcoin have the potential to address some of Bitcoin's key limitations, making it more efficient, accessible, and versatile in the long run. 2: What does the ETF approval mean for Layer 2 on Bitcoin? The approval of ETF could potentially have several implications for Layer 2 on Bitcoin: Innovation and Development: With a growing interest in Bitcoin spurred by ETF approval, there could be a surge in research and development efforts focused on enhancing Layer 2. Developers and projects may be incentivized to create new and improved Layer 2 protocols to meet the evolving needs of the expanding Bitcoin ecosystem. An ETF approval could boost mainstream Bitcoin adoption and liquidity. This influx of users may also drive interest in Layer 2 on Bitcoin as a means to enhance the scalability and functionality of Bitcoin. 3: What are the primary challenges facing L2s on Bitcoin? The interoperability of different Layer 2s and their compatibility with Bitcoin's main blockchain can be a challenge. Ensuring seamless interaction between various Layer 2 networks and the Bitcoin blockchain is essential for a cohesive and efficient ecosystem. Some Layer 2s may introduce centralization risks if they rely heavily on centralized entities or trusted intermediaries. Maintaining decentralization and censorship resistance, which are core tenets of Bitcoin, while scaling with Layer 2s is a challenge. 4: What aspects of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin are you most enthusiastic about? AI represents one of the cornerstones of our modern era. However, achieving a decentralized AI infrastructure, owned and managed by users, has posed significant challenges. The primary obstacle has been the limited capacity to store and execute AI models due to size and computational limitations. To address this challenge, we propose a new blockchain architecture enabling developers to deploy their own Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions tailored specifically for AI tasks, called Truly Open AI. These Layer 2 blockchains are optimized to handle computationally intensive tasks, such as matrix multiplication, directly on-chain. These Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions offer exceptional throughput, minimal latency, and cost-effectiveness. AI dApps are programmed as Solidity smart contracts, ensuring they operate precisely as intended, free from interference or manipulation. Our BVM AI Contracts Library simplifies the integration of neural networks into dApps, empowering developers to embed AI seamlessly. In summary, I'm particularly enthusiastic about the potential of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin to revolutionize decentralized AI by providing scalability, security, and accessibility. 5: How is your Layer 2 different from others being built? BVM distinguishes itself as a Modular infrastructure that empowers thousands of distinct Bitcoin Layer 2 networks, spanning Gaming, DeFi, Social, and AI applications. We're continuously enriching the BVM Module Store with new modules to enhance its capabilities. With each new module, builders gain access to a wider array of tools to explore different use cases on the Bitcoin network. Recent additions include the Filecoin module for affordable storage and the AI Contracts Library for constructing AI-powered Bitcoin Layer 2 chains. We're also gearing up to release a ZK roll-up module in the coming weeks to offer an alternative to the standard optimistic roll-up. We aim to simplify the process of launching a Bitcoin Layer 2 network customized to specific requirements. Think of it as a SaaS offering with predefined best practices. Whether it's a DeFi Bitcoin Layer 2 or a GameFi Bitcoin Layer 2, we provide default solutions tailored to each use case. We're dedicated to expanding the BVM ecosystem by incentivizing more builders to join the Bitcoin network. Through various programs and grants, we support builders in covering their operational costs for Bitcoin Layer 2. Additionally, we offer rewards akin to 'L2 mining' to those who contribute to expanding the user base and total value locked on the network. In summary, BVM stands out with its modular infrastructure, tailored solutions, and efforts to grow the Bitcoin ecosystem.

📣 Community Update: Cyborgs! We’ve just reached a major milestone that signals a clear shift in what Arcane and Spectre are becoming, and where this project is heading. Arcane is no longer just a wallet. It’s evolving into the foundation for on-chain privacy. With the Arcane wallet extension now complete, alongside a working privacy dApp interacting directly through the SDK, we’re seeing the first fully connected version of this system come to life. 📌 The wallet extension introduces a real user interface across desktop, complementing mobile, and bringing Arcane into everyday use rather than remaining purely backend infrastructure. Public release by the end of Q2. 📌 Arcane now supports both public and private transactions seamlessly, with Invisible Routing automatically detecting the transaction type so the user doesn’t need to think about it. 📌 The integration between the wallet and the dApp via the SDK creates a complete flow from wallet > action > private execution. This is live, functional privacy in action, not just theory. 📌 The Arcane SDK is a major unlock. It allows any dApp on EVM compatible chains to integrate our privacy stack, positioning Arcane as infrastructure rather than a single product. 📌 Our relayer network will power all private transactions, not only within the Arcane wallet, but across every third party application that integrates the SDK. 📌 As more integrations come online, this drives increased volume through the ecosystem, expanding the revenue streams flowing back to holders. What we’re seeing now is the early formation of a connected ecosystem, where wallet, SDK, dApps, and relayers all work together as one unified privacy layer. This marks the transition from isolated development into something functional and expandable. The rails are being laid. The system is coming online. And what we’re building here doesn’t just participate in the future of crypto, it helps define it ♾️🚀

Core, ‌the Bitcoin-first ‌chain, and how it’s trying to stretch BTC’s usefulness Core DAO (Core DAO 🔶) brands itself as “The Bitcoin Everything Chain.” The pitch is simple: take Bitcoin’s strengths and push them beyond the usual buy-and-hold story. The protocol centers on one main idea: BTC shouldn’t sit still. Core wants idle Bitcoin to earn, but without giving up the properties people care about most: safety, decentralization, and full self-custody. To get there, Core leans on a mix of Satoshi Plus, timelocks, and a quick Layer 1 EVM chain. Satoshi Plus folds in Delegated Proof of Work (so Bitcoin miners can participate), self-custodial Bitcoin staking, and staking of the $CORE token. Core frames the relationship with Bitcoin as mutualistic. It borrows security and incentive alignment from Bitcoin, then tries to send value back through extra miner rewards, trustless yield opportunities for BTC holders, and infrastructure that makes it easier for Bitcoin products to plug in and scale. Key ways Core aims to expand Bitcoin utility: 1.) Self-custodial Bitcoin staking Lock BTC with timelocks directly on the Bitcoin network (CLTV) and earn CORE yield, no wrapping, no bridges, and no handing custody to anyone else. 2.) Dual staking Stake $BTC and $CORE together to reach higher yield tiers. 3.) Tapping Bitcoin’s hash power Miners can delegate hash power to earn extra CORE rewards, while Core itself is secured using a majority share of Bitcoin’s hash rate. 4.) The “Bitcoin Power Grid” A set of rails Bitcoin products can connect to, built around yield, collateral, payments, and DeFi use cases. 5.) Scalable Bitcoin DeFi An EVM-compatible network designed for faster, cheaper BTCFi apps. 6.) Two-way value flow The goal is to strengthen Bitcoin’s security budget over time, while also turning dormant BTC into something that can actively do work. In plain terms, Core DAO’s broader mission is to make Bitcoin more productive without piling on trust assumptions, converting energy and capital tied up in Bitcoin into yield, DeFi activity, and scalable infrastructure.

OCM Genesis is the collection of many firsts. Genesis owners will be able to upgrade this month ⚡️ Back in February, Genesis was the first 10K images of a collection inscribed on Bitcoin. The generative art was inscribed in inscription #20219, paying homage to the year (2021) and month (9) we launched Genesis on Ethereum, September 2021. Then, in March, we inscribed another 10k generative art collection on Bitcoin. This collection was kept secret and set aside exclusively for Genesis owners. When you upgrade your OCM Genesis, you will own a piece from this generative art collection that uses the DNA of your Genesis. Both of these extraordinary inscriptions are linked together forever onchain in the first 10k collection on Block 9. Genesis pioneered the parent-child collection provenance feature of the Ordinals Protocol. It is the first 10K collection to use this onchain provenance on Bitcoin. Genesis is also the first 10K collection inscribed on Block 9 sats, the oldest sats in circulation. Block 9 sats are the ideal canvas for high-end works on Bitcoin and our Genesis owners will own some of the best Block 9 real estate on Bitcoin. Sat numbers are very important and Genesis has a special range, one of the lowest and earliest ranges of sequential Block 9 sats. Additionally, every Genesis on Bitcoin has a sat number that matches its Genesis ID, making it incredibly simple to locate and view your Genesis on Bitcoin. Genesis embodies the convergence of art, technology, and innovation, creating a masterful fusion of digital artistry with the blockchain as the canvas. Poetically engineered, collectors and onlookers alike can appreciate the timeless aesthetic of the OCM Genesis and its abstract art collection, both generated onchain through code. As more details are revealed, the story of the upgrade process and all it entails will come to be appreciated as art in itself. Inscribing multiple collections onto a targeted sequential block 9 sat is Bitcoin native art at its core, immortalized onchain for all to marvel. Genesis owners will be collectors of the most significant digital artifact on Bitcoin. If you're a collector of Ordinals, OCM Genesis is an essential addition to your collection. Own a piece of blockchain history and be a part of this exclusive community of digital artifact collectors. OCM Genesis is for the Pioneers, the Trend Setters, The First. !RISE

BITCOIN RAILS #69: ZERO-KNOWLEDGE PROOFS FOR POST-QUANTUM BITCOIN | with Benedikt Bünz 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: While many Bitcoiners remain hopeful the network will embrace zero-knowledge proofs for protocol-level use cases, practical adoption has remained limited outside of BitVM and a handful of experimental proposals. Most of the world’s ZKP research has circled around Ethereum and other ecosystems, where significant resources have been dedicated to advancing these systems, particularly for scaling and privacy applications. One of the most notable contributors to this research is Benedikt Bünz ☕️ — professor of cryptography at NYU and collaborator of Dan Boneh, who together inarguably form one of the strongest blockchain-applied cryptography teams in the world. The pair recently announced they’ll be leading the new post-quantum cryptography unit localhost research — the first dedicated PQ research effort within a major Bitcoin development organization. With Benedikt leading the charge on the use of zero-knowledge proofs for post-quantum mitigation, the question emerges: will the post-quantum transition be the catalyst to finally bring zero-knowledge proofs to Bitcoin's core protocol? In more detail, Benedikt and I discuss: - Why ZKPs haven’t been widely adopted by the Bitcoin technical community — and why the threat of quantum computers may change that posture going forward - How ZKPs could be used for signature batching to address larger post-quantum signatures in Bitcoin’s post-quantum era - Why Bitcoiners will likely prioritize hash-based signatures as an initial post-quantum scheme — rather than more efficient but less proven alternatives (e.g., lattice-based) - How ZKPs have evolved over the last decade and may finally be ready for Bitcoin’s strict requirements around trust assumptions - Why Benedikt and Dan are teaming up with localhost research to create the first post-quantum cryptography unit within a major Bitcoin development organization + what they hope to accomplish This episode of Bitcoin Rails is brought to you by: LayerTwo Labs LayerTwo Labs — developing research, software, and technologies for scaling Bitcoin via the integration of Drivechains (BIP 300/301) Hashi on Sui — a primitive for executing Bitcoin DeFi transactions, without having to trust a federated bridge or other centralized entity BitBox BitBox — an open-source Bitcoin-only hardware wallet, with smooth UX and no compromises on security.

MwM #135 Recap A big week for the Maya tribe. Privacy upgrades new pool security wins and ecosystem growth. Let's dive in! 🛡️ Zcash ZEC is Live and Booming Maya now supports receiving shielded ZEC on mainnet with a shielded memo design that preserves privacy while keeping everything auditable. The ZEC pool already surpassed ETH and RUNE, and it’s now closing in fast on BTC, ready to take the #1 spot. 🔹Dash Integration Dash continues to perform well with volume at two times its pool depth. Work on Instant Send also known as Instant Lock is underway to bring much faster finality. 🔍 Critical UTXO Bug Patched Maya found a serious issue in how VINs were ordered. In a specific timing window an attacker could try to double spend during a large inbound transaction. Maya disclosed it privately to THORChain both paused UTXOs, patched the issue and returned safely. 🍫 New Cacao Pool A Cacao only staking pool is on the way. No IL risk five percent of swap fees flow to it reduces circulating supply and strengthens the economic engine for features like Rujira. 🛠️ Titan Ecosystem Growth Titan formerly THORWallet is hitting all time highs in active users and swap volume with retention up ten to fifteen times. They integrated dYdX added Tron and NEAR are working on Zcash and Cardano and are launching a new crypto card focused on Mexico. The Titan token is now live on Base and Arbitrum. 🧠 Speed vs Security: The debate A big question came up Why do swaps take time and can new chains arrive faster? Pedro raised it from the user perspective with ideas to make things feel lighter. Aaluxx answered from the decentralization side ”If we are building crypto we cannot give up proper verification validator checks or full node integrity. Cutting corners for speed goes against the purpose of the ecosystem.” In a nutshell security is the foundation. 🎧 Hear the full conversation here
