1/ Bitcoin's ecosystem is evolving 🚀 New applications and protocols are emerging to expand what's possible on Bitcoin, yet they all share a critical constraint: expensive interaction with the base layer. What if on-chain costs could decrease with increased network usage? 👇

1/ Trust-minimized protocols such as lotteries using script have captivated users and researchers since Bitcoin's early days. Today, we're unveiling our Coinflip PoC, an exploration of multiparty contracts on Ark. We think this could be the spark for something bigger... 👾
