What is BitVM, and why is @build_on_bob using it?

BitVM is a breakthrough approach that allows smart contract-like functionality to be executed using Bitcoin - without requiring any changes to Bitcoin’s base layer or consensus rules. Essentially, it brings more expressive computation to Bitcoin in a trust-minimized way.

Here’s how it works: the bulk of the logic and computation happens off-chain, which keeps things efficient. However, if there’s any disagreement or dishonest behavior, the protocol enables these disputes to be proven and resolved directly on Bitcoin’s blockchain. This means it leverages Bitcoin's security and finality without bloating the main chain.

@build_on_bob is tapping into this innovation to enable more advanced applications on Bitcoin - all while preserving its decentralization and security. BitVM allows developers to build richer, more interactive protocols using Bitcoin as the base, and that’s exactly what Bob is all about.
