Practical and economical considerations for Bitcoin rollups

[ekrembal]

Description

What is this talk about? Give us as many details as possible.

I would like to discuss practical considerations when building a rollup, including the cost of using Bitcoin as a data availability layer and optimistic verification techniques like BitVM for bridges.

What would an attendee learn from this talk?

• Trust assumptions for various rollup designs
• TPS calculations for EVM-based rollups
• Capital requirements for BitVM-based bridges
• Attack vectors in optimistic verification
• ...and more (tba)

Is there anything folks should read up on before they attend this talk?

• Citrea Documentation
• Exploring Bitcoin for Data Availability
• BitVM2

@ekrembal is there currently any working rollups on any signets, testnets, or mainnet using BitVM?

[ekrembal]

@miketwenty1 , we currently have a devnet running on our own signet (just faster blocks but no additional soft forks etc.) that uses the signet as DA layer. It has a mock bitvm bridge. By the time of the conference we are planning to make the BitVM bridge work on testnet. Here is the signet explorer: https://mempool.signet.citrea.xyz/ Here is our batch explorer: https://citrea.xyz/batch-explorer

Hi @iglesiasbrandon, Has this proposal been taken into consideration? I need to arrange my flights based on the acceptance.
