Following the integration, users will be able to natively manage their BTC on any rollup in the Avail ecosystem without relinquishing control over their digital assets
Avail, a modular blockchain solution designed to unify Web3 and optimize data availability (DA) for highly scalable and customizable applications, has partnered with dWallet Network, a pioneering non-collusive, decentralized multi-chain layer, to bring programmable native Bitcoin to rollups in the Avail ecosystem.
Leveraging the newly unveiled dWallet primitive, smart contracts using rollups built on Avail DA will be able to programmatically manage native BTC for the first time while preserving user ownership. This marks a paradigm shift from emerging Bitcoin L2 solutions that predominantly rely on collusive and often risky cross-chain solutions, such as bridges, where the user must sacrifice ownership of their BTC.
“Allowing BTC to be used programmatically on other blockchains via a trust-minimized approach is a clever approach to increasing BTC adoption.” said Anurag Arjun, co-founder Avail. “Together with dWallet, we can enable Layer-2 chains or rollups on top of the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin represents a superb base layer from the DA perspective, with the highest security available in the ecosystem. As a result, the dWallet integration will enable users to leverage arbitrary execution and logic to secure their BTC via a decentralized multiparty computation (MPC) solution.”
In essence, the collaboration aims to harness dWallet’s MPC infrastructure to enhance Bitcoin’s capabilities by enabling the creation of native bitcoin rollups — ushering in more efficient and secure transactions and operations on the Bitcoin blockchain and supporting a wider range of functionalities beyond simple transactions.
The integration with the dWallet Network, coupled with the ability to control dWallets from a smart contract on any Avail rollup, was made possible through Avail Nexus, a zero-knowledge coordination rollup embedding validity-proof based light clients and execution proof aggregation. This pivotal move towards the unification of Web3 will also enable developers to power Avail Fusion’s borrowed security from native assets of the most mature ecosystems, including BTC, ETH, and others.
Furthermore, the dWallet…
