Introducing the Strata bridge
The Strata bridge uses design approaches from the BitVM2 paper by Robin Linus and collaborators, but includes many optimizations and other tricks that use cutting-edge research to ensure a robust and efficient product.
In this post, we’ll show how the Strata bridge works, how it relates to other designs, and why it’s useful and important for the ecosystem. You don’t need advanced knowledge about bitcoin or other bridge concepts, but we do assume familiarity with basic digital asset concepts (like a blockchain and a transaction).
