- [BitVM: Ushering in a New Era of Bitcoin Computations](https://www.bitvm.club/resources/primer/bitvm-ushering-in-a-new-era-of-bitcoin-computations.md)
- [BitVM: A Computational Revolution in Bitcoin](https://www.bitvm.club/resources/primer/bitvm-a-computational-revolution-in-bitcoin.md): BitVM is a new computing paradigm that theoretically allows any computation within Bitcoin itself. This could open doors to more complex smart contracts, decentralized applications, and other function
- [Is BitVM the Next Evolution for Smart Contracts on Bitcoin?](https://www.bitvm.club/resources/primer/is-bitvm-the-next-evolution-for-smart-contracts-on-bitcoin.md): BitVM is a computing model that lets you run complex contracts on Bitcoin without altering its fundamental rules. Let’s take a look at what it is and how it can revolutionise the way we use Bitcoin.
