BitcoinOS
🟠 BitcoinOS: The Ultimate Upgrade to Bitcoin
BitcoinOS (BOS) is a revolutionary technology that transforms Bitcoin from being primarily a store of value into a fully programmable network with unlimited potential. Here's what makes it significant:
🌐 Core Concept
BitcoinOS is not a Layer-2 solution or a separate blockchain, but rather an operating system that allows Bitcoin to interact with other blockchains and execute complex computations without changing Bitcoin's core protocol. It acts as a nexus point where Bitcoin and other blockchain solutions can connect trustlessly.
💡Key Innovation: Zero-Knowledge Proofs on Bitcoin
In July 2024, the BitcoinOS team achieved a major breakthrough by successfully verifying the first zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) on the Bitcoin mainchain. This innovation enables:
Trustless bridging - Moving BTC between Bitcoin and other chains without centralized intermediaries
Scalability - Compressing thousands of transactions into a single Bitcoin transaction
Programmability - Supporting complex smart contracts and DeFi applications
Privacy - Enabling confidential transactions
🖥️ Main Components
BitSNARK - A software library for efficiently verifying zkSNARKs on Bitcoin
Grail Bridge - A trustless bridge between Bitcoin and other chains with a 1-of-n trust model (requiring just one honest verifier)
MerkleMesh - A system for aggregating data from different blockchains and verifying it on Bitcoin
BOS Token - Coordinates the ecosystem through SLAM nodes that verify proofs, manage vaults, and enable cross-chain interactions
🤝 Trust Model
Unlike traditional bridges that require trusting a majority of operators (m-of-n), BitcoinOS implements a "1-of-n" trust model. This means as long as just one honest participant exists in the system, funds remain secure - even if all other participants collude.
🗺️ Current Status and Roadmap
BitSNARK has been open-sourced

Disclaimer: If this is a raffle-based Mission, entry does not guarantee a win. Entrants who don't complete the required tasks in their entirety will be disqualified. For mint-based raffles, minting more than one NFT will not increase the chances of winning the raffle. Winners may not be notified outside of the "You have won the raffle" banner after this Mission is complete. It may take a few days after the Mission is complete to draw raffle winners and update the banner message displaying a win or a loss. It will also take time between announcing winners and delivering the winning benefit. Be sure to keep up with the project's social media channels for important updates to best utilize your winning benefit.
