Building the rails for Bitcoin finance. Enterprise, consumer, asset management. The future of finance runs on ₿itcoin. 🌊 Download the Blockstream app https://blockstream.com/app 🔒 Get a Jade Plus hardware signing device https://store.blockstream.com/ 🔌 Plug into Bitcoin & the Liquid Network https://blockstream.info/explorer-api ✋ Make a support request https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=8613 Dont trust, verify.

With a long history of the #LiquidNetwork as an early adopter of ideas that have been later ported to Bitcoin, including SegWit, Schnorr signatures, OP_CSV, and others—the next time someone suggests a new covenant or L2 protocol, it's worth asking: why not try it on Liquid first?

Read more about the covenant opcodes already in production on Liquid, many of which either overlap with—or are leading—proposals for Bitcoin 👇 https://blog.blockstream.com/covenants-in-production-on-liquid/

As interest in #Bitcoin surges, there is more focus on creating layer-2 solutions to enhance its usability. #Blockstream counts itself among those committed to building next-generation financial infrastructure based on Bitcoin’s strong foundation.
