TOMORROW at 2pm ET
Looking forward to co-hosting a discussion with the team behind new Shielded Bitcoin protocol & PIPEs @allocinitxyz and @MARAFoundation_
We'll dive into Allocinit’s recent announcement, progress on PIPEs, and address key questions from the community on its
Can witness encryption really get us private bitcoin? We sat down with @ClaraShik, to clarify where @allocinitxyz research's stands today, and what still needs to be demonstrated x.com/i/article/2105…
Lots of good questions since we published Shielded Bitcoin. Bitcoin++ asked us to tackle a dozen of them — covering common misconceptions, trade-offs, and open avenues for research. Enjoy digging into this conversation with @ClaraShik and @btcinsider__.

@nemothenoone joined @watchbmtv today to discuss Shielded Bitcoin and how we’re using PIPEs to build Zcash-style privacy on Bitcoin. Listen in to learn more.
JUST IN: Developer Misha Komarov explains proposal framework for private transfers on Bitcoin without a need for a soft fork in detail 👀
Bullish for Bitcoin privacy 🚀
COMING AT 4PM ET: Zcash-level privacy is FINALLY arriving on #Bitcoin, just in time for Wall Street adoption
@allocinitxyz makes its public debut only at the #Bitcoin Treasuries Conference.
Tune in live 🔥
🔒 Bitcoin could get Zcash style shielded transactions with zero soft fork and no company running the pool, says researcher Misha Komarov, who is building it right now.

🔐 Shielded Bitcoin is coming, and it needs no soft fork.
Misha Komarov (@nemothenoone), founder of @allocinitxyz and co-founder of @nil_foundation, tells @laurashin how Bitcoin PIPEs uses witness encryption to bring Zcash-style privacy to Bitcoin without touching its protocol.
Hot! 🔥 Tonight at BitDevs, @ClaraShik will present the amazing work AllocInit has just published (today!) about private bitcoin transfers without consensus changes.

Today, @allocinitxyz co-founder @nemothenoone and Head of Protocol Research @ClaraShik join me to unpack PIPEs — a framework that could
Last week at Swiss Crypto Day, @towa_patrick presented the latest AADP WE improvement for PIPEs v2 featuring the reduction of a ciphertext size to ~8TB for 100 bits of security.

Open challenges for AADP WE are happening!
A commutator-based attack breaking both AADP and the original ADP for sparse circuits was submitted. We are aware of the mitigation that fixes this class of attacks in characteristic 2 and are working on extending it to characteristic
Open challenges for AADP WE are happening!
A commutator-based attack breaking both AADP and the original ADP for sparse circuits was submitted. We are aware of the mitigation that fixes this class of attacks in characteristic 2 and are working on extending it to characteristic p.
Congratulations to the submitter, we will be in touch!
Today we announce: AADP WE Open Challenges.
Recently we proposed a new witness encryption scheme based on Arithmetic Affine Determinant Programs which we intend to use in Bitcoin PIPEs v2, unlocking a wide range of applications and eliminating the need for trusted parties.
Now
In case you missed it in Vegas, here is our full preso including slides from @TheBitcoinConf.
We discuss what PIPEs are all about and how witness encryption can be used to enforce arbitrary logic on Bitcoin.
This means: trustless vaults, covenants, and non-interactive ZKPs on Bitcoin without protocol changes or trusted parties.
Also, we discuss getting rid of multi-sigs using PIPEs.
