Check out our 2022 review!

We're incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to work on #Bitcoin & push the boundaries of what's possible in the space.

We thank our collaborators & competitors for pushing us to constantly improve.

We look forward to continuing to build & seeing what the future holds!
We’re excited to announce that we’ve raised $125 million in convertible note and secured loan financing to expand our institutional #Bitcoin mining colocation services.

“Blockstream had a strong 2022 with 3x revenue growth from 2021, & strong demand for hosting into 2023 to expand for, with a return to a bullish market, with Bitcoin up 40% in the first 3 weeks of 2023 alone.”

- Blockstream CEO Dr. Adam Back for BTC Times

A proposed solution to #Bitcoin scalability and lack of expressivity is the addition of new covenant opcodes. Each new covenant proposal has its own advantages, disadvantages, and trade-offs, but all include a certain level of Miner Extractable Value (MEV) risk. Given these inherent traits in the nature of programmable money, what level of risk is acceptable?

We explore this question by examining MEV and the limitations of Bitcoin Script. We also look at some of the covenant proposals, such as CAT + CSFS and CTV, as well as the new Simplicity blockchain language, an alternative to Bitcoin Script that is more expressive with static analysis and formal verification.
