Bitvm
La programabilidad de Bitcoin al estilo Ethereum podría llegar en 12 meses, afirma el fundador de Rootstock
El nuevo proyecto se basaría en el muy discutido diseño "BitVM" lanzado el año pasado por el desarrollador Robin Linus, que ha despertado esperanzas de que la cadena de bloques más antigua y más grande podría eventualmente ver redes de capa 2 programables al estilo de Ethereum.
BitVM Uses a 'Compilation of a Couple Tricks' to Overcome Limitations of Bitcoin's Script: Robin Linus
BitVM, as it is known, was laid out in an Oct. 9 whitepaper by Robin Linus, a core contributor to ZeroSync, which is building tools for developers to use zero-knowledge proofs on Bitcoin. "Bitcoin's script is intentionally limited to reduce the attack surface," Linus said. BitVM applies "a compilation of a couple tricks that allow you to overcome the limitations of Bitcoin's script."
Bitcoin Could Get Ethereum-Style Smart Contracts Under 'BitVM' Plan
A goal of Robin Linus's design for "BitVM" is to enable Turing-complete Bitcoin contracts – making the blockchain programmable, similar to a computer – without making the network more complicated for other users. ZeroSync co-founder Robin Linus shares insights into the proposal and the solutions it could offer.
