The team from @RESOLVR brought Apogee, their browser wallet, to Simplicity office hours and drove the lending contract end to end. It read the tx-manifest, built by @Blockstream's Mike Berry, and showed the loan terms in plain language.

Pay for lunch with a hundredth of a Strategy share? @adam3us on how issuers use Blockstream AMP to embed adherence to essential standards directly inside Liquid tokens, so people can use them in novel ways.

A zero-conf Liquid payment can now be accepted early, backed by real data. The new 0-conf API reports exactly how many nodes across the network have seen a transaction, so integrators set their own acceptance threshold. Full API details in our new technical explainer.

0-Conf for Elements and Liquid: A Technical Explainer

Blockstream introduces new zero-confirmation (0-conf) infrastructure for Liquid and Elements-based deployments.

Other chains retrofit security tokens and end up with complicated, expensive, hard-to-secure messes. Liquid's AMP is a 2-of-2 multisig. The blockchain doesn't need to know anything else. nostr:npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kwon the security track record.

High-assurance Bitcoin contracts are here. Simplicity is a next-generation smart contracting language for Bitcoin, built for verifiable security and financial correctness. Simplicity Office Hours is your direct line to the Blockstream team building it. Bring your questions. Every Tuesday 08:00 PT. Recent sessions have covered covenants, prediction markets, lending tools, and trustless swaps. docs.simplicity-lang.org/office-hours/

New zero-confirmation (0-conf) infra is now available, giving enterprises near-instant, privacy-preserving acceptance flows on Liquid. It’s part of Liquid’s 2026 roadmap, alongside a quantum-ready testnet and BitVM whitepaper by year-end.

Liquid doing the heavy lifting here for bitcoin-based capital markets. After years of building, the market is finally catching up to the thesis. Bitcoin-derived. Security-first. No misaligned governance token. Confidential, yet auditable. Explore issuing RWAs with @Blockstream AMP.

Blockstream AMP: Digitize your assets

Issue and manage digital assets on the Liquid Network with Blockstream AMP’s flexible API.

Moving shares between brokerages still feels like there's a fax machine behind it somewhere. @Adam Back on how Liquid is a neutral platform for moving tokenized assets between wallets, OTC platforms, and licensed security token exchanges.

You can see the UTXOs moving on the Liquid block explorer. You can't see the amounts, and you can't see which asset moved. A zero knowledge proof lets every full node verify the transaction is valid, without seeing a single number. @Adam Back on how Confidential Transactions actually work.

Near-instant settlement on Liquid is in public beta testing. 0-conf lets services act on transactions before block confirmation, removing friction from swaps and payment flows where waiting a single block is already too long.
