The idea of advancing Bitcoin’s smart contract functionality is undeniably promising and exciting. But it’s important to acknowledge that each new proposal carries some degree of MEV risk—albeit likely not to the extent that we see on other chains. As we think about bringing more programmable money to #Bitcoin, there are questions we have to ask:
- Can we build a protocol with zero MEV risk, or is this an unattainable ideal?
- Given the inherent risks of MEV in many proposals, what level of MEV risk is acceptable?
- And finally, what represents the simplest proposal that offers the greatest degree of expressivity?

On Bitcoin’s 15th birthday, we celebrate a tremendous year in Bitcoin development. We formalized the Blockstream Research team, revamped the Blockstream Green UX, and built out Blockstream Jade to service a planetary scale.
We launched the Greenlight Lightning-as-a-Service, fully open-sourced the Liquid Network functionary code, and helped integrate splicing to the #LightningNetwork spec through the Core Lightning development process.
We’re grateful to all of you who HODL’d alongside us throughout the journey. Thank you for engaging with our content, sharing your feedback, contributing to the open-source projects we maintain, and always challenging us to make #Bitcoin infrastructure better and more accessible.
We’re excited to keep pushing towards hyperbitcoinization in 2024, and we hope you’ll join us for the ride! 📈
