Bitlayer partners with Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool to promote the adoption of BitVM

PANews reported on May 27 that, according to CoinDesk, Bitcoin Layer2 solution Bitlayer announced a strategic partnership with the three major mining pools Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool to jointly promote the practical application of BitVM technology. These three mining pools collectively account for 36% of Bitcoin's total network hash rate and will support the packaging of non-standard transactions (NST) blocks, addressing the key bottleneck of the BitVM challenge-response mechanism. BitVM technology can achieve Turing-complete smart contract functionality without altering Bitcoin's underlying protocol. Kevin He, co-founder of Bitlayer, stated that this collaboration resolves the "last mile" problem of on-chain verification.
