From Theory to Practice: Making Cryptography Play Nicely with Bitcoin
Interesting new scaling solutions like BitVM and garbled circuits use existing and novel cryptographic constructions for bitcoin scaling. But while bitcoin offers expressivity through script, it is limited; this means we need to get clever to help new solutions play nicely with existing protocol rules. In this talk, we'll give examples of techniques we can use to carefully and thoughtfully integrate scaling solutions given bitcoin's unique limitations.
