🔵Bitlayer Partners with Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool to Promote BitVM Adoption
DeThings, May 27th, according to CoinDesk, Bitcoin Layer 2 solution Bitlayer has announced a strategic partnership with three major mining pools: Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool, to jointly promote the practical application of BitVM technology. These three mining pools account for a total of 36% of the entire Bitcoin network's hashrate and will support the block packaging of Non-Standard Transactions (NST), addressing a key bottleneck in the BitVM challenge-response mechanism. BitVM technology can achieve Turing-complete smart contract functionality without changing the underlying Bitcoin protocol. Bitlayer co-founder Kevin He stated that this collaboration solves the "last mile" problem of on-chain verification.
