Bitcoin Layers has been acquired by @blockspace. Our founder, Janusz, will be joining Blockspace as an advisor as a part of the transaction.
The integration will enable Bitcoin Layers to expand its onchain data suite and revamp its research platform.
Blockspace is pleased to announce the purchase of premier Bitcoin data site @BitcoinLayers.
Bitcoin Layers will be integrated into a forthcoming data product from Blockspace, encompassing all Bitcoin Layers (from tradfi to onchain).
We'll be working with @januszg_ and various foundations, startups, and investors to better understand the world of Bitcoin-related assets.

Wallet of Satoshi is not (technically) a Lightning wallet. It uses a network, known as Spark, on the back end.
Spark is a statechain. Let's go through a few of the assumptions:
To pay LN invoices, Spark leverages centralized operators who facilitate LN swaps on users behalf. These swaps are atomic, meaning the swap provider can't steal your funds.
But you do need at least one of these swap providers to be online to interact with LN.
xBTC supply up and to the right 📈
@Starknet launched an implementation of wrapped bitcoin staking and saw its xBTC supply 5x over a week long period.
A quick tl;dr on Starknet's recent updates 🧵
Starknet's R&D efforts, in addition to recent product developments, are focused on building towards a (more) trust-minimized bitcoin bridge.
A partnership with @AlpenLabs is a part of this effort: xitter.cf/EliBenSasson/status/19…
Nothing better than:
- Roaming NYC streets, outdoors jazz in the background
- OG @simanta sharing latest on BitVM bridge
- The @StarkWareLtd <> @AlpenLabs partnership we signed to use the same bridge across different Bitcoin L2s
More R&D related to bitcoin scaling is welcome.
And, users should understand tradeoffs related to Starknet's current design related to bitcoin financial applications.

Metaprotocols and rollups are the same style of protocol.
With a synthetic BTC asset now being available on @oylwallet's Alkanes protocol, bitcoin potentially has a new based-sequenced rollup leveraging a wrapped bitcoin asset.
This is relevant in bitcoin MEV discourse.
This Post is from a suspended account. Learn more
Note that we are reviewing Alkanes and frBTC. We will have an analysis on the protocol shortly.
Potential for base layer MEV is something we review on Bitcoin Layers.
Learn more about MEV (and MEVil) and how they relate to based rollups in @thebluematt's blog xitter.cf/TheBlueMatt/status/178…
MEVil (or centralizing MEV) is one of the biggest threats to bitcoin’s value, but it’s poorly understood. I wrote about what it is (and isn’t) and how developers and bitcoiners must consider it carefully if we want bitcoin to survive.
