Binohash: Transaction Introspection Without Softforks A first transaction has been mined demonstrating a limited form of covenants using only existing Bitcoin script functions. This development potentially eliminates the need for a Bitcoin light client in BitVM bridges, simplifying the construction and improving security. We hope this development furthers research on the possibility of creating introspection and covenants-style functionality on Bitcoin without the need for softforks, and advances discussions on the usability of covenants in Bitcoin and the use-cases they enable. Many thanks to everyone at @idealgroup, as well as @PortlandHODL and the Slipstream team at @MARA for patching their nodes to mine these wacky transactions. Full paper in the comments 👇
