Bitcoin's Ethereum-Style Programmability Could Come in 12 Months, Rootstock Founder Says
Summary
Sergio Demian Lerner, founder of Bitcoin's Rootstock, revealed plans for "BitVMX" at Bitcoin++ conference. The project aims to enhance Bitcoin's programmability, building on Robin Linus's "BitVM" design. BitVMX seeks to enable programmable layer-2 networks without altering Bitcoin's code. Rootstock Labs is leading the effort, with a team working on proposed network improvements over the next year. The BitVMX framework will allow running any CPU on Bitcoin, emphasizing a fully-compliant RISC-V processor for diverse use cases.
