And that, children, is one of the reasons that SHA3 is a performance bottleneck in some of your use cases (like Ethereum ZK-EVMs), and is too inefficient for some use cases at all (like BitVM). ⤵️

Bitlayer BitVM Bridge Goes Live on Mainnet Today
The wait is over! The BitVM Bridge has officially launched on Mainnet. As the first functional application based on the BitVM paradigm, Bitlayer BitVM Bridge delivers a trust-minimized bridging solution for bitcoin holders, addressing critical demands as Bitcoin DeFi scales toward maturity. By eliminating reliance on centralized intermediaries, the bridge ensures all transactions remain verifiable, secure, and decentralized. “Over the past year, we’ve dedicated significant resources to developing the BitVM Bridge, and we’re thrilled to finally deliver this milestone to the community,” stated Kevin He, Co-founder of Bitlayer. “Post-Mainnet deployment, our focus shifts to scaling asset compatibility and deepening integration with additional blockchain networks.”

The limitation is that BitVM is restricted to a two-party prover and verifier setting, which can limit its application where many parties might interact. However, recent advancements like BitVMX and BitcoinOS have demonstrated progress, moving toward better trustless models.

Glock: Garbled Locks for Bitcoin (Liam Eagen) ia.cr/2025/1485
Abstract. Bitcoin is a decentralized, permissionless network for digital payments. Bitcoin also supports a limited set of smart contracts, which restrict how bitcoin can be spent, through bitcoin script. In order to support more expressive scripting functionality, Robin Linus introduced the BitVM family of protocols. These implement a weaker form of “optimistic” smart contracts, and for the first time allowed bitcoin to verify arbitrary computation. BitVM allows a challenger to publish a “fraud proof” that the computation was carried out incorrectly which can be verified on chain, even when the entire computation cannot. Jermey Rubin introduced an alternative optimistic smart contract protocol called Delbrag. This protocol uses Garbled Circuits (GC) to replace the BitVM fraud proof with by simply revealing a secret. He also introduced the Grug technique for malicious security. We introduce a new formalization of GC based optimistic techniques called Garbled Locks or Glocks. Much like Delbrag, we use the GC to leak a secret and produce a signature as a fraud proof. We further propose the first concretely practical construction that does not require Grug. Like BitVM2 and Delbrag, Glock25 reduces verification of arbitrary bounded computation to verification of a SNARK. In Glock25, we use a designated verifier version of a modified of the SNARK Pari with smaller proof size. We make Glock25 maliciously secure using a combination of Cut-and-Choose, Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS), and Adaptor Signatures. These techniques reduce the communication, computational, and on-chain complexity of the protocol compared to other approaches to construct a Glock, e.g. based on Groth16.

Bitcoin is for payments; store of value is ‘just a neat byproduct’: BitVM creator
The debate about Bitcoin as a method of payment versus a store of value is ongoing. With prices consistently above $100k, the relentless push from ETF issuers and Bitcoin treasury companies, and the inevitable institutionalization of the space, using Bitcoin for small payments seems more alien than ever. But is Jack Dorsey right in saying that Bitcoin fails if it’s only a store of value and not used for payments? Bitcoin as a method of payment Bitcoin was fundamentally created as a means of payment, a real form of electronic cash for private, peer-to-peer transactions, while its store of value status appeared later as an added benefit.

Pooling in OP-CAT’s World
Bitcoin Magazine Pooling in OP-CAT’s World Counter to popular discourse, we argue that upgrades to Bitcoin — such as the BitVM, OP_CAT or OP_CTV — will stabilize Bitcoin consensus. By opening up new miner fees and reducing reliance on extractive pooling schemes, additions to Bitcoin will create network sustainability, push miners away from more dangerous forms of expressivity and help Bitcoin maintain its lead in stability without injecting rivalrous or centralizing forms of revenue. A healthy mining market is vital to the longevity of Bitcoin. Last year, amid low blockspace demand, Bitcoin’s biggest…

BitPriv: A Privacy-Preserving Protocol for DeFi Applications on Bitcoin (Ioannis Alexopoulos, Zeta Avarikioti, Paul Gerhart, Matteo Maffei, Dominique Schröder) ia.cr/2025/1575
Abstract. Bitcoin secures over a trillion dollars in assets but remains largely absent from decentralized finance (DeFi) due to its restrictive scripting language. The emergence of BitVM, which enables verification of arbitrary off-chain computations via on-chain fraud proofs, opens the door to expressive Bitcoin-native applications without altering consensus rules. A key challenge for smart contracts executed on a public blockchain, however, is the privacy of data: for instance, bid privacy is crucial in auctions and transaction privacy is leveraged in MEV-mitigation techniques such as proposer-builder separation. While different solutions have been recently proposed for Ethereum, these are not applicable to Bitcoin. In this work, we present BitPriv, the first Bitcoin-compatible protocol to condition payments based on the outcome of a secure two-party computation (2PC). The key idea is to let parties lock collateral on-chain and to evaluate a garbled circuit off-chain: a cut-and-choose mechanism deters misbehavior and any violation can be proven and punished on-chain via BitVM. This design achieves security against rational adversaries, ensuring that deviation is irrational under financial penalties. We showcase the new class of applications enabled by BitPriv as well as evaluate its performance through a privacy-preserving double-blind marketplace in Bitcoin. In the optimistic case, settlement requires only two transactions and under $3 in fees; disputes are more expensive (≈$507) with their cost tied to the specific BitVM implementation, but their mere feasibility acts as a strong deterrent. BitPriv provides a blueprint for building enforceable, privacy-preserving DeFi primitives on Bitcoin without trusted hardware, sidechains, or protocol changes. Image showing part 2 of abstract.
