Robin Linus, the lead of the ZeroSync project, released a white paper titled "BitVM: Compute Anything on Bitcoin," proposing a method to introduce more advanced off-chain smart contracts to Bitcoin without a soft fork. BitVM, drawing inspiration from Ethereum's optimistic rollups, will execute the "logic" of Bitcoin contracts off-chain, with verifications made on Bitcoin. It is done by using a challenge-response model where claims can be made and verified. While Bitcoin currently handles basic operations, BitVM expands its capabilities to potentially include games and verification of validity proofs in Bitcoin contracts. It might also facilitate bridging BTC to other chains and create prediction markets and other applications. However, limitations include its reliance on a two-party system (prover and verifier) and the need for extensive off-chain computation. The development is built upon the 2021 Taproot soft fork and incorporates Ethereum research. Reactions in the Bitcoin community are mixed, with some excited about its potential and others urging caution.
