Sidechain thats blind merge mined with a perpetual one-way peg, so you can go from bitcoin -> sidechain, but cant go back. You can do atomic swaps so you can buy the sidechain tokens if you want to use the sidechain, but bitcoin is ALWAYS more valuable. So its a way to have sidechains for doing whatever usecase you want, without a shitcoin that competes with bitcoin for monetary premium.

Could be done today with semi-trusted setup once we have new package relay with ephemeral anchors. Can be done with no trusted setup with APO or another covenant.

I remember from the video, it says you can do two-way peg too but not tested ? Is there anyway to do this without the tokens ? As monetary transactions eg buy sell carries value, and if there are transactions, using Bitcoin brings capital value - and transacting via Bitcoin is going to be crucial in our goal in achieving native currency., instead of its use as money exchange.

1-way peg is ugly
