According to ChainCatcher, Bitlayer, a project based on the Bit Bitcoin ecosystem technology, has reached a strategic cooperation with three Bitcoin mining pools: Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool.
The challenge path of BitVM Bridge uses non-standard transactions (NST), which are accepted by Bitcoin consensus but not supported by the default transaction pool policy of Bitcoin clients. After this cooperation, Bitlayer's partner mining pools will provide an API interface that can receive NST and ensure its on-chain confirmation. As a result, anyone can challenge suspicious withdrawal requests by submitting NST to the partner mining pools' interfaces, ensuring the fund safety of BitVM Bridge. Meanwhile, the partner mining pools can also obtain potential fee income from NST services.
BitVM Bridge has currently established cooperation with 7 mainstream public chains and protocols including Sui, Base, Starknet, Arbitrum, Sonic SVM, Plume Network, and Sundial, jointly implementing multi-chain ecosystem deployment and integration. The project plans to expand to more ecosystems in the future. BitVM Bridge has entered the final testing phase and is expected to launch its mainnet soon.
