Robin Linus: Scaling Crypto’s Premier Network
The developer behind BitVM is facilitating the building of more and more applications atop Bitcoin.
BitVM Uses a 'Compilation of a Couple Tricks' to Overcome Limitations of Bitcoin's Script: Robin Linus
BitVM, as it is known, was laid out in an Oct. 9 whitepaper by Robin Linus, a core contributor to ZeroSync, which is building tools for developers to use zero-knowledge proofs on Bitcoin. "Bitcoin's script is intentionally limited to reduce the attack surface," Linus said. BitVM applies "a compilation of a couple tricks that allow you to overcome the limitations of Bitcoin's script."
Bitcoin Could Get Ethereum-Style Smart Contracts Under 'BitVM' Plan
A goal of Robin Linus's design for "BitVM" is to enable Turing-complete Bitcoin contracts – making the blockchain programmable, similar to a computer – without making the network more complicated for other users. ZeroSync co-founder Robin Linus shares insights into the proposal and the solutions it could offer.
Newly Formed ZeroSync Association Brings Zero-Knowledge Proofs to Bitcoin
A Swiss nonprofit called the ZeroSync Association aims to help scale Bitcoin by using zero-knowledge proofs (zk-proofs), a cryptographic technique that has exploded in popularity on rival chain Ethereum. ZeroSync co-founder Robin Linus discusses the launch and its significance to the Bitcoin community.
