Introduction

The white paper of BitVM was released on October 9, 2023, sparking widespread discussions upon its release. BitVM is a computational paradigm designed for expressing Turing-complete Bitcoin contracts without the need for any changes to the network consensus rules.

However, the current BitVM technology is still in the experimental stage and has not gained widespread adoption. Information about it is scattered, and although the BitVM Chinese community has organized some relevant materials, there is no systematic organization in the English community. Therefore, BitVM Club has decided to take on this task.

The first version of the knowledge base is based on the extension of the Github code repository by @Rsync25, for which we are greatly appreciated. It is hoped that the knowledge base organized by BitVM Club can help more people understand BitVM. Additionally, there is a hope that BitVM technology can make Bitcoin more flexible and intelligent.

The largest Telegram group for the BitVM is BitVM Builders.

We also welcome you to join the BitVM Club Telegram group and follow us on Twitter.

The original intention of BitVM Club is to focus on BitVM technology, aiming to encompass more BTC Layer 2 projects, and enable a broader audience to understand BitVM technology and the BTC ecosystem.

The community operates independently and has received donations from Bitlayer. We hope to receive more project donations.
