Simplicity's site just got a full redesign. Simplicity lets you prove exactly how a contract behaves before it goes live. No surprise fees, no transactions failing mid-execution. The security guarantees are part of the language, not bolted on after. Live on the @Liquid Network mainnet, running real financial contracts, and built for the developers and institutions building high-assurance Bitcoin applications.

The world is already migrating to post-quantum schemes. SSH clients warn when a server can't negotiate one. Browsers are defaulting to post-quantum TLS where available. Jonas Nick of Blockstream Research on why a quantum threat to banking is no reason to leave Bitcoin unsecured.

"There's nothing worse than trying to protect against quantum computing and then making Bitcoin insecure against regular computing." @Adam Back on why hash-based signatures are the conservative post-quantum choice for Bitcoin. Based on a 1979 paper. Decades of analysis. SHRINCS is where Blockstream Research landed.

There's no drop-in solution for post-quantum Bitcoin. Jonas Nick on why the signature scheme you choose will fundamentally change what Bitcoin can do, and why that makes getting it right worth the time.

When you run a Bitcoin node, you can prove the 21 million cap yourself. Every block. No trust required. The Zcash Orchard bug, undetected for four years, is a reminder of what you give up when supply verifiability is traded for privacy. The @Liquid Network shows there is another way. Strong privacy with publicly verifiable supply.

What the Zcash Orchard Bug Reveals About Verifiable Supply
A four-year-undetected soundness bug in Zcash's Orchard pool exposed the cost of hiding the supply. Bitcoin and Liquid keep supply verifiable by de...

Systemic risk vs localized risk. That's the core argument for exploring stateful hash-based signatures in Bitcoin. Blockstream Research Director Jonas Nick on why standardized post-quantum schemes create risks for everyone, and why SHRINCS moves that risk to where it can be managed.
