⚠️Problem: Bitcoin is difficult to use for advanced applications (DeFi).
Arch Solution: Arch Network allows Bitcoin to be used for such applications without moving your coins to another network (without "bridges").
How it Works:
🔸 You use your regular Bitcoin wallet.
🔸 The Arch network does the complex work using:
-Validators: Computers that support the network.
-ArchVM: A special "smart" environment for programs.
-TSS (FROST+ROAST): Secure technology for group signing of transactions.
🔸 Final confirmation takes place in the main Bitcoin network.
How They Agree (Consensus):
🔸 dPoS is used: Validators are chosen based on "frozen" Arch tokens.
🔸 TSS is used: A group of validators securely signs transactions.
🔸 This combination ensures security and reliability.
"Permissionless Signers":
🔸 "Permissionless" means that the network is open—ideally, anyone can become a validator (signer).
🔸 Arch strives for this model, using dPoS and TSS. (Note: this is a goal, the launch may be phased).
What Makes Arch Unique:
🔸 Safer: Uses Bitcoin's security, no risks of bridges.
🔸 Maintains liquidity: Money does not get "stuck" in bridges.
🔸 Simpler: Works with regular wallets.
🔸 Flexible: You can choose fast or ultra-reliable processing.
🔸 Openness: The goal is to allow everyone to participate.
Summary: Arch is a way to add smart functions to Bitcoin, maintaining its security and ease of use, without needing to move assets.
