🔗 Clementine: A Collateral-Efficient, Trust-Minimized, and Scalable Bitcoin Bridge
Notably, Clementine features crucial improvements when compared to state-of-the-art protocols such as BitVM Bridge [14]. First, Clementine runs the first provably secure Bitcoin light client on Bitcoin, achieving resilience against an adversary with less than 50% of the computational power in the presence of a permissioned set of watchtowers, of which at least one is assumed to be honest

🔗 Cardano Founder Says Buterin’s New Ethereum Proposal ‘Makes Sense’
In the proposal Buterin calls the idea “equally as ambitious as the beam‑chain effort is for the consensus layer,” contending that a RISC‑V transition would “greatly improve the efficiency of the Ethereum execution layer, resolving one of the primary scaling bottlenecks,” while also simplifying the core codebase. He stresses that the familiar account model and opcodes “would stay exactly the same,” explaining that opcodes such as SLOAD, SSTORE and CALL would be exposed to contracts as RISC‑V syscalls.

🔗 Why RISC-V is the Optimal Architecture for the BitVMX Proving System
Not only does RISC-V offer technical advantages that align perfectly with the needs of proof systems, but it also brings unparalleled openness, maturity, and developer friendliness.
In this article, we’ll explore the five key reasons why RISC-V is the best choice for BitVMX.

🔗 Rethinking Bitcoin’s Lightning Network Design Through the Lens of Thunderbolt
The Script structure of Bitcoin is extremely conservative, restricting most off-chain interaction scenarios. Its original design was never intended to handle tens of thousands of transactions per second. Yet, practical demands are right in front of us — people want to be able to use Bitcoin, even if just to buy a game skin or tip a video creator, and they don’t want to wait ten minutes for it.
