Risc zero0announced their support for citrea to become a Bitcoin zkRollup. They have used the open-source BitVM Groth16 verifier, enabling developers to generate STARK proofs with RISC Zero and verify them on Bitcoin.
Bitcoin layersupdated their framework for evaluating Bitcoin L2.
The Bitlayer team has significantly optimized the Bitcoin script verifier for FFlonk, reducing the script size by 1.8 GB.This optimization uses multipoint synchronized batch scalar multiplication, reducing the original five scalar multiplications to two batch scalar multiplications.
RISC Zero's verifier will soon be deployed on Starknet, enabling developers to perform unlimited computations.
Citrea Public Devnet is now live for developers and users.
Starkware announced that within six months after adopting OP_CAT, they will develop Starknet as a common L2 for both Bitcoin and Ethereum, expanding Bitcoin TPS to over 1k.They also explained on their official blog why they are scaling Bitcoin.
Clearly and repeatedly expressing their support for OP_CAT, they have launched a $1 million fund to support research into the pros and cons of OP_CAT.
They mentioned the Bitcoin Wildlife Sanctuary, which aims to implement Circle Stark using OP_CAT.
Ethereum and Bitcoin will serve as the settlement layers for Starknet, with specific plans to be released in the coming weeks.
Anthony Towns released a script that can run on Signet, using OP_CAT to allow anyone to use proof of work (PoW) to obtain tokens locked by the script. This can be used as a decentralized Signet Bitcoin faucet.
