Final touches on nostr frost machines, research paper and entire code will be be open source. It's a foundation of our oracle, specifically a dispute system. The only path to the true decentralisation of the bao markets protocol, that hopefully can serve many projects out there in the future. This solution eliminates the single-key oracle as a point of failure. No single party, including ₿AO, can unilaterally release appeal funds. Jurors only sign attestations; winners claim payouts with their own keys. Juror bonds are escrowed and slashed deterministically -nobody can be silently rewarded for incoherent votes. A little glimpse here: #baocourt #nostrcourt #decentralisedoracle #oracle

Kudos to the team at 2140.wtf -@2140.wtf for experimenting with our technology - non-custodial bitcoin prediction markets on all layers, nostr-native. Raising sats and tokens for ai agents via prediction markets is coming out soon via BAO FUND. For now, visit their page and have fun playing with it. Things will improve, this is just the beginning...

Cashu mints will be massive, when combined with ARKs that can verify proof of reserves Mint operator will have less power over mints that operate on top of hardware with trusted enclaves storing keys, check recent post by @calle about it What if we added FROST? It transforms the single-enclave model into a threshold scheme where multiple enclaves (or even a mix of enclaves and offline devices) jointly control the mint, eliminating the single-point-of-failure problem. We can verify that given mint is using trusted enclaves, in fact this is how it could look like in BAO: Attack vectors? BAO would present it like this to users: • Fake signature? No — the hardware manufacturer's signature is the root of trust. • Fake meaning? Yes — if the code inside the enclave is backdoored or the verifier doesn't check MRENCLAVE/freshness. • Advertised how? Via a public .well-known/attestation endpoint carrying a manufacturer-signed quote. • BAO's job? Curate expected MRENCLAVE/PCR values from audited source code, verify quotes in CashuMintChecker, and reject stale or mismatched attestations. "When Lambos?" was a meme, "when enclaves" is the real question to ask #whenenclaves

For LLMs to take part in consequential, high-stakes governance decisions—replacing corrupt human actors with transparent, auditable code—three conditions must be met: • all contracts must be open source, • the model itself must be open source, and • its training data must be publicly verifiable. Only then can every citizen query GOV.AI and trust the response to be honest. The moral compass of these systems would be shaped by philosophers and ratified through a public vote. The first adopters of this new paradigm will be communities already organizing online: DAOs powered by altcoins and BAOs powered by Bitcoin, alongside private villages and sovereign cities. These groups will be built on modern governance—offering many distinct voting mechanisms, neutral money, and transparent, self-hosted LLMs that automate administration in pursuit of efficiency, harmony, and peace. The concept of the BAO was created last year by our founder. The first step is a prediction marketplace we have been building over the past few months: bao.markets. The second step is a governance framework for every BAO, or Bitcoin Agentic Organisation.

Hello NosTriCheS, we turned Nostr polls into cubes, stuffed them with images and livestreams, and kept the zap button right where you left it. This is how we play. https://bao.markets/demo/nostrpolls?view=morph #zapmycube #nostrpolls

Bitcoiners everywhere #oslo #OFF2026

We are ready for the cube - a new Bitcoin L2 😃

Should we add cashu to our BAO COURT SYSTEM? It can be tested in demo mode FROSTR + PRIVACY + WOT + Lightning + Liquid

Bitcoin isn't a prediction market — it's a prediction stack. The hash race is the bottom layer (random search). Above it sits an economic layer where miners continuously predict energy prices, fee demand, and chain-tip outcomes. BAO prediction markets just move that same predictive behavior from Bitcoin's internal mechanics to the external world.

we do love polls too, at bao markets your nostr polls can turn into cubes!

Confidential transactions/contracts on our BAO LIQUID TESTNET can now be verified at

Liquid Regtest Explorer

Esplora Block Explorer

The Liquid Network is a Bitcoin layer-2 sidechain that enables fast, confidential settlement, operating independently from the Bitcoin mainchain with one-minute block times and two-block finality. Confidential Transactions are a default feature on Liquid, using cryptographic protocols to hide both the amount and type of asset transacted from third parties, while still allowing the network to verify that no new coins are created. Users can selectively reveal transaction details by sharing a blinding key, maintaining privacy. Key characteristics include: Privacy: Transaction metadata such as balances and asset types are obscured, protecting users from front-running and market surveillance. Interoperability: Liquid Bitcoin (L-BTC) is pegged 1:1 to BTC via a two-way peg, allowing users to move assets between the mainchain and sidechain.
