1. Official BitVM Project Update: It has been clarified that the BitVM repository will adopt the MIT license.https://github.com/BitVM/BitVM/commit/d5a58260ca9b22bf2ab0f1e37e1f4e03c84152e6

2. ZeroSync @ZeroSync_ announces the formation of the BitVM Alliance! We will work together to deliver the first BitVM bridges by the end of the year. Stay tuned!

1. Bitlayer @BitlayerLabs In continuation of our previous research on STARK, the Bitlayer research team has conducted a deep dive on the Binius STARK proof system. Our findings are as follows:

• Previous STARK systems (252, 64, 32-bit) improved the encoding process yet continued to waste space. Binius employs compact bit-level operations, potentially positioning it as the next-generation STARK.

• Binius boosts efficiency with binary field arithmetic, enhanced HyperPlonk checks, and small-field polynomial commitments.

• Further optimization in binary multiplication, ZeroCheck, SumCheck, and PCS may increase speed and reduce proof size.
