🚀Full episode now live: #Bitcoin Special🔥 The most comprehensive conversation on scaling Bitcoin with @Starknet is here on @StarknetEspreso. Featuring @janbtc (@xverse ), @nilsbundi (@vesuxyz ), @0xmattegoat (@PragmaOracle ), @asparenb (@argentHQ ), and @barretodavid (@StarknetFndn ), we dive into the trustless BTC/Starknet bridge, Collider VM, OP_CAT, oracle coordination, wallet UX, and Bitcoin Defi yields.

NEW: @Anchorage is building support for Bitcoin Staking on Stacks. Institutions can enroll and fund a BTC Bond directly via their Anchorage account, earn weekly BTC rewards, and reclaim principal at maturity. BTC stays in custody at a federally chartered bank on Bitcoin L1.

It’s amazing what you can build on @Stacks with Scaffold Stacks. We’ve taken the friction out of building, so you can go from idea to a working dApp faster. Don’t take our word for it, put it to the test. Join the Scaffold Stacks 20 builders challenge hosted on @zeroauthdao. 6 days left. tick tock⏳ zeroauthoritydao.com/bounty/…

A new Bitcoin DeFi frontier for Institutional adoption, with native BTC yield and zero counterparty risk, is officially here! On Sept 10, @Stacks launched the Genesis Bond, locking 250 BTC from heavyweights like @21shares, @HashKeyCloud, @UTXOmgmt, and @syphercapital. 🔒 Pure L1 Custody: BTC stays locked directly on Bitcoin L1 using standard timelock scripts paired with a 5% blockstack:native position. ⚡ Real Yield: Earn a target 3% APY in real bitcoin:native, funded directly by miner bids every block, not recycled lending. 🏢 Enterprise-grade: Built for institutions using @FireblocksHQ infrastructure. Period 2 opens this October to expand institutional capacity. And for everyday holders? You aren't left out. You can tap into this same yield tranche using sBTC or stBTC via @StackingDao.

Built an onchain event ticketing platform on @Stacks with @sfdstacks. Users can create events, sell tickets for STX, mint tickets as NFTs, and verify them onchain at the door. The prompt was basically: “Use Scaffold Stacks agent skills to build an event ticketing platform with onchain verification. Users should be able to create events and buy tickets with STX. Use the generated hooks, build out a proper UI, test everything before deployment, and deploy to testnet using the provided disposable mnemonic. <mnemonic redacted >” The entire build took roughly 20 to 25 min, GitHub push and vercel deployment included in the time frame.

The possibilities with Scaffold Stacks are wide open. Think it. Build it. Ship it on @Stacks fast. 8 days left to join the Scaffold Stacks Builders Challenge hosted on @zeroauthdao. Build something, push Scaffold Stacks to its limits, and show us what you can ship. Get in:

🚨 $20,000 BOUNTY: Help protect Bitcoin from quantum computers. @StarkWareLtd recently completed the first Quantum-Safe Bitcoin transaction on mainnet, with zero soft forks required. However, it took 3,100 GPU-hours and 100 GPUs just to process one transaction. It works, but it needs to be faster and cheaper. That’s why @StarkWareLtd, @yukonresearch, and @eigenlabs just launched the Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Autoresearch Challenge: 💰 $20,000+ total prize pool ⚡ $2,000 distributed in Week 1 🤖 Open to devs, researchers, and AI agents 🎯 Mission: Optimize off-chain GPU execution, signature grinding, and transaction pinning If you can crush the GPU compute costs, the bounty is yours. @Starknet

I hold the record on the Quantum Safe Bitcoin challenge with a personal best of 546,182,334 verified candidates/s. Come join the challenge at yukon.org/qsb?solver=AbdelSt…

1/ Our quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction cost ~$320 in GPU compute. Can you bring that down? Today, we’re launching the Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Autoresearch Challenge in partnership with @yukonresearch and @eigenlabs. Over $20,000 in rewards for improving the code: qsb.fast

A quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction, with no soft fork, confirmed on mainnet in August. Producing it took ~3,100 GPU-hours across ~100 GPUs. That cost is now the problem to solve. Today, @StarkWareLtd in collaboration with @eigenlabs and Yukon Research, we're opening it to everyone. With $20,000 prize up for grab. The QSB Autoresearch Challenge targets the two GPU grinding workloads behind QSB: transaction pinning and subset selection, ranked as separate tracks. Every candidate is an ECDSA public-key recovery plus a SHA-256 hash, repeated billions of times. The CUDA seed was written fast with AI help and shipped once it worked. It is deliberately unoptimized. How it works: bring your coding agent, model and harness, and submit CUDA optimized kernels. Ranked runs execute in a sandbox on hosted NVIDIA RTX 4090s, against a fresh problem instance seeded after your code is locked. Every hit is re-derived on CPU, so no kernel gets throughput credit without doing the real elliptic-curve work. To take the lead, beat the current best by at least 1%. Why I'm excited: as far as I know, this is the first wide-scale autoresearch experiment aimed at improving a Bitcoin construction rather than breaking one. It is also a live test of which models and harnesses can do hardcore CUDA and cryptographic optimization, with results nobody has to take on trust. If you build on Bitcoin, write CUDA, or push coding agents hard: come break the baseline. Bring your clanker. qsb.fast/

Is @Starknet quietly winning the 2026 privacy and post-quantum race? With the rollout of v0.14.2, strkBTC, the STRK20 standard, and hash-based STARK security, the network has evolved far beyond basic L2 throughput. I broke down the 2026 timeline and what it means for asset sovereignty in our latest video 👇 Which 2026 feature are you using most in your wallet? @StarkWareLtd @xverse
