A Bitcoin developer has propose A new path has bring more expressive off-chain clever contracts has Bitcoin (BTC) without need A soft fork.

Announcement In A October 9 white paper title “BitVM: Calculate Nothing on Bitcoin" by ZeroSync project lead robin Linus, BitVM allow Turing-complete Bitcoin contracts without to modify Bitcoin consensus rules.

A Turing Complete system East A which can theoretically provide A answer has any of them computer science problem.

With BitVM, THE "logic" of Bitcoin contracts would be be accomplished off-chain but verification would be be do on Bitcoin — similar has Ethereum optimistic accumulations.

BitVM architecture East base on fraud evidence And A challenge-response model Or A “prover” can TO DO complaints And A “verifier” can perform A anti-fraud has to punish THE prover When FAKE complaints are done.
