What is the Spiderchain? The Spiderchain is a trust-minimized network of multisigs managed by a set of orchestrator nodes called the Federation. Enabling Bitcoin to be used in smart contracts without compromising censorship resistance or custody. It creates a new execution layer where Bitcoin is used to pay for gas in an EVM-compatible environment.

Decentralization ≠ Censorship-resistance These words are often thrown together in a barrage of crypto jargon, but it’s important that we understand their meaning separately. Simply put: 🧱Decentralization is about structure 🎯Censorship-resistance is about outcomes How many nodes are there?Who controls the keys? Is the protocol permissionless? These are all questions about decentralization. On the other hand, censorship-resistance is about answering this question: What does the system do under pressure? A censorship-resistant network has to be unstoppable. Decentralization is just the way to get there. Bitcoin isn’t just decentralized, it’s censorship-resistant.
