A long-in-the-works proposal heralded as the best way to bring sidechains to bitcoin has released its first code after three years in development.
One of the developers behind the Drivechain project for bringing sidechains to bitcoin is seeking feedback on the project's code.
A new proposal considers how bitcoin sidechains might be secured using a system similar to those being discussed in experimental proof-of-stake models.
The developers behind a sidechain project that has the potential to boost bitcoin's functionality just held their first major meeting.
While current scaling proposals near collision, Paul Sztorc details a vision of bitcoin's future, including Lightning Network and Drivechain.
Once seen as an experimental technology, sidechains are emerging as a scaling solution that could please all sides of the debate.
Work on bitcoin sidechains – long thought to be one of the best ways to improve the functionality of the network – is advancing. Here's how.
