BitVM3 and Binohash Don’t Improve Bridge Security. Some Soft Forks Do.

BitVM3 and Binohash are exciting developments, but their impact on Bitcoin bridge security is often misunderstood. BitVM3 mainly improves collateral efficiency, making bridge constructions more capital efficient, while Binohash enables new forms of transaction introspection in Bitcoin Script with important limitations. In this talk, I explain why these advances do not fundamentally strengthen bridge security and explore which proposed Bitcoin soft forks actually move the needle.

Bitcoin bridges with garbled circuits

Garbled circuits are surprisingly straightforward, yet powerful cryptographic constructs that enable secure computation between parties. Notably, they allow us to prove arbitrary computations on Bitcoin optimistically, significantly cheaper than earlier methods like BitVM.

Non-standard transactions and mempool policies for BitVM Bridges

I will explain the usage of Ephemeral Dust and TRUC Transactions in BitVM bridges and how non-standart transactions makes BitVM bridges feasible.
