Yo, another public good library built by StarkWare exploration team: a Merkle-Sum Sparse Merkle Tree library, written in Rust. 96% test coverage. Working next on full compatibility with the Go implementation of Taproot Assets from Lightning Labs. @calle here you go, you know what can be done with this! A Proof of Liabilities Scheme for Ecash Mints!

We are not here to ask for permission. We are not waiting for outdated institutions to change. We are building a parallel system where sovereignty, censorship resistance, freedom of speech and privacy are non-negotiable. The best way to predict the future is to build it.

What about M31 arithmetic opcodes for efficient STARK verification on Bitcoin ? Idea: OP_M31ADD, OP_M31SUB, OP_M31MUL, OP_M31INV operating over the M31 Mersenne prime field. OP_CAT too generic ? OP_STARK_VERIFY too narrow ? This is something in between. https://hackmd.io/@abdelhamid/m31-opcodes-bitcoin-stark #bitcoin #starks #zkp

I am sorry to tell you but Bitcoin used as DA layer for rollups could handle ALL Ethereum Rollups of today! And this is WITHOUT Starknet's current compression. Methodology here:

TL;DR: Bitcoin as Starknet's Data Layer Methodology Analyze Starknet-on-Ethereum: - Measure L2 transactions and data (state diff) posted to Ethereum. - Calculate TPS and data per transaction. Extrapolate to Bitcoin: - Use Bitcoin’s block size (4 MB) and block time (600 seconds). - Compute Bitcoin’s data throughput and estimate Starknet TPS. Key Numbers Starknet-on-Ethereum over the selected period: TPS: ~270. Data per tx: ~29 bytes. Starknet-on-Bitcoin (Theoretical): Bitcoin throughput: ~6,830 bytes/s. Estimated TPS: ~235. Conclusion If Bitcoin was Starknet’s Data Availability layer, ~235 TPS could be supported, assuming full block usage and efficient state diff compression (~29 bytes/tx). Real-world throughput would be lower due to unrealistic assumptions made here, but you get the point. #bitcoin #zkrollup #scaling

Good news for you, even if you don't like OP_CAT or are afraid by it, if it comes through a soft fork, no one can force you to use it or interact with a Bitcoin script that does. You can even imagine anti OP_CAT crew to build custom wallets that prevent users from interacting with OP_CAT scripts. OP_CAT is opt-in for the user. OP_CAT IS OPT-IN! #bitcoin #bitcoindev #opcat

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone. Destroy FIAT, but with love. ❤️

I asked Claude: what is the latest Bitcoin block ? And you know what ? He was able to give me the actual information about it. How ? Thanks to this Bitcoin MCP server I built. It works also with Goose (the new AI agent framework of @jack ). Find source code and demo videos below. Source: :

A true warrior needs no sword. It needs Bitcoin to fight for financial sovereignty. It needs Nostr to fight for freedom of speech. It needs STARK proofs to fight for integrity.

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." – Thomas Jefferson Freedom isn’t something we win once and keep forever. It’s something we must defend, innovate, and build for every day. Bitcoin breaks the chains of financial control. Nostr dismantles the walls of censorship. STARKs enable a future where integrity through math and scalability are non-negotiable. The tools exist. The mission is clear. The responsibility is ours. Let’s build a world where freedom is the default, not the exception.

Let’s accelerate AI x Nostr. Who wanna help and contribute to this Nostr MCP server ? When we have a complete and robust one we can do cool experiments with Goose, Claude and any MCP compatible AI agent framework.

The real fun will start when we have the Zap tool integrated in the Nostr MCP server! Then AI agents can pay each other via Nostr, or pay access to DVM services etc. crazy stuff. I started to implement the zap tool but I have no time to finish it for now. If anyone wants to finish it that would be cool. Free to submit a PR.
