This has constrained Bitcoin's utility. Recent advancements are enhancing programmability on Bitcoin. BitVM, its successors, and CatVM are enabling the verification of off-chain programs on Bitcoin through fraud proofs. This improves the current state of bridging on Bitcoin, minimizing the reliance on trusted multisig setups and f...
