@BitlayerLabs
has announced a 0.05 BTC bounty for developers who successfully implement SHA256 in native Bitcoin Script. Currently, three organizations (Atomicals, BOB, Bitlayer) have declared this reward program, bringing benefits to BTC native developers.
Background:
On April
@BitlayerLabs
will match the 0.05 BTC bounty for a successful native implementation of sha256 in native Bitcoin Script.
To summarize:
Inputs: Top of stack contains data bytes to be hashed.
Outputs: Put the sha256 hash on to the stack.
Latest Progress on BitVM - Robin Linus Advocates Implementing the SHA256 Hash Function Using Existing Bitcoin Script
Due to the absence of OP_CAT, the existing native opcode op_sha256 cannot concatenate byte strings within the script, thereby limiting the utility of op_sha256.
Anyone interested in a gig to implement sha256 in Bitcoin Script?
You can build upon the primitives we built for Blake3 (u32 arithmetic, bitwise XOR, bitwise rotations,...).

: We now have finite field arithmetic for the M31 and Baby Bear fields, as well as for their degree-4 extensions. These are the basis for implementing STARK verifiers on Bitcoin.

Bitlayer Core Technology: DLC and Its Optimization Considerations
DLC emerged before the activation of Segwit v1 (Taproot) and has already been integrated with the Lightning Network, allowing the extension of DLC to update and execute continuous contracts within the same DLC

introduced me to Winternitz signatures. These are more compact Lamport signatures and can cut the transaction fees for BitVM by more than 50%.
Check out the first implementation here:
Robin Linus tweeted that combining BitVM with zkCoins could increase Bitcoin's throughput from 7 tx/s to 100 tx/s. This integration could also enhance the Lightning Network with cheaper shared UTXOs, LN-Symmetry, and covenants. He hopes someone will use Plonky2 to build proofs.
Combining BitVM with zkCoins accelerates Bitcoin from 7 tx/s to 100 tx/s.
It can also enhance Lightning with cheaper shared utxos, LN-Symmetry, and covenants. No forks required!
Are you familiar with Plonky2? Please reach out! Let's boost bitcoin!!
