Bitlayer Core Technology: DLC and Its Optimization Considerations

The Discreet Log Contract (DLC) is an oracle-based contract execution scheme that integrates DLC channels with the Lightning Network and expands DLC to allow the updating and execution of continuous contracts within the same DLC channel. With technologies such as Taproot and BitVM, more complex off-chain contract validations and settlements can be implemented within the DLC, while minimizing oracle trust through the use of OP challenge mechanisms.

Revolutionizing Bitcoin: An In-Depth Analysis of the Atomics Protocol

The BRC-20 experimental asset protocol is celebrating its first birthday, witnessing the birth of the Ordinals protocol and the release of the BRC-20 protocol, which has reinvigorated the BTC ecosystem.While BRC-20 is a non-UTXO-bound asset issuance scheme, ARC-20 under the Atomicals protocol pioneered UTXO-bound assets. Arthur, the founder of the Atomicals protocol, came up with the idea of Atomicals, which has led to four major concepts, including Dmint, Bitwork, ARC-20, and RNS, as well as AVMs and splits in the future.The Atomicals protocol introduces a decentralized minting mechanism for NFTs on the Bitcoin chain, which will provide an opportunity for homogeneous and non-homogeneous NFTs to be distributed within the Bitcoin ecosystem. homogenized and non-homogenized tokens with a fair chance of issuance. With the release of AVM, the Atomicals protocol is expected to enable programmability on Bitcoin Layer1 , bringing new developments to the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.
