A practical take on BitVM, ZK, and Bitcoin rollups.

Bitcoin has dominated crypto, but has remained largely inactive in DeFi. While ETH and Solana lead in onchain activity, a significant amount of BTC remains unused.

BitVM introduces a solution. Unlike traditional custodians or multi-sig bridges, it provides a trust-minimized approach to integrating BTC with DeFi – expanding Bitcoin's utility beyond just a store of value.

We spoke with Alexei (Bob), Yovela (Fiamma), and Jacob (Boundless) to examine BitVM's mechanics, its place in Bitcoin's scaling roadmap, and its implications for users seeking secure yield opportunities.

For those following Bitcoin rollups and the technical barriers to BTC adoption in DeFi, this discussion offers valuable insights.

Let's begin.
