币界网报道:BitVM creator Robin Linus unveiled a groundbreaking solution to enhance Bitcoin's programmability without altering its core protocol. The system enables complex computations like smart contracts by executing them off-chain and verifying results on-chain through fraud proofs, similar to Optimistic Rollups. Linus emphasized this approach preserves Bitcoin's simplicity while expanding functionality, allowing decentralized applications, cross-chain bridges, and trustless trading. The team is now working to implement BitVM, which could significantly boost Bitcoin's utility beyond just payments. Developers can experiment with the open-source code as the project moves toward mainnet deployment.
