 Excited to announce @Strata_BTC. Docs + devnet + vision post links at end.

Strata is a programmable layer built on bitcoin, using zero-knowledge (“ZK”) proofs to enable trust-minimized applications for BTC.

Our vision: Endgame Money. Condolences to Dentacoin.

-- 

Endgame money means more than BTC as a store of value. It means extending credible decentralization to a fully expressive, globally scalable financial system, secured by bitcoin. This includes, but is not limited to: 

- Store of Value.
- Payments.
- DeFi.
- Stablecoins.
- Privacy.
- World class UX.

--

Endgame money is a movement back to our roots: 

- Separating money and state. 
- Making bitcoin cypherpunk again.
- Asserting bitcoin back as the intellectual center of our industry. 

--

Ultimately, money is our revolution. While amazing achievements have been (and are actively being) made outside of bitcoin in scaling, inter-op, and ZK, the PMF is MONEY.

It's time to marry the technical innovations with the ideological and fix money entirely.

Fortunately both have NGU technology. 
 zkCSV can give us fully private #bitcoin payments. 

It’s like trust less e-cash. Very cool
research happening here.
