最新报道:Blockstream, led by Adam Back, has introduced smart contract capabilities on its Bitcoin-powered Liquid Network. The new feature enables programmable financial agreements while maintaining the security and scalability of the Liquid sidechain. Developers can now create decentralized applications (dApps) with conditional transactions and multi-signature setups directly tied to Bitcoin's blockchain. This upgrade aims to expand Bitcoin's utility beyond simple transfers, competing with Ethereum's smart contract dominance. The Liquid Network, launched in 2018, has primarily served institutional users for fast, confidential Bitcoin transactions. The smart contract rollout marks a strategic move to attract more developers to Bitcoin's ecosystem.
