Smart contracts have long been the domain of Ethereum and other programmable blockchains, but BitVM changes everything for Bitcoin.
Using an optimistic validation scheme, BitVM allows developers to express Turing-complete contracts on Bitcoin without altering its base layer. By leveraging a pre-signed transaction graph, BitVM validates complex off-chain computations and ensures correctness via zero-knowledge proofs.
This innovation turns Bitcoin into more than a settlement network—it makes it a platform for scalable, verifiable applications, finally giving the world’s most secure blockchain a smart contract layer of its own.
