A compilation of Bitlayer's efforts and contributions to BitVM
1/ This week Bitlayer contributed a manual SNARK verifier chunker to BitVM open source, which we believe will fill in the last missing piece of a complete BitVM implementation. Next, we are going to build a BTC bridge with an honest-minority trust assumption, based on BitVM open… pic.twitter.com/HJI8EQjfV8
