Update from the Federation:

BTC<>LBTC swaps were re-enabled last week as part of Liquid’s staged recovery. Users can once again swap between BTC on Bitcoin and LBTC on Liquid at 1:1 through participating providers, including Aqua, BullBitcoin (nprofile…36mg) and SideSwap. These providers collectively accounted for 99% of peg-out volume prior to the incident.

Normal Federation peg-out operations remain subject to enhanced operational controls while security hardening continues and the independent security audit nears completion.

The community can track progress toward restoring full 1:1 BTC backing for LBTC through Liquid’s auditable Proof of Reserves at liquid.network.

Liquid Network Restoration Update

With key technical milestones completed and network operations stable, user swap functionality is now restored with semi-automated swaps for Federation members. Normal peg and balance validation will be reinstated soon.

The Liquid Network’s members appreciate the broader Bitcoin community’s support and advocacy as we work to not only provide the restoration, but also harden the network’s security structure.

Liquid has reached its 4 millionth block. 🎉

Born from the OG sidechain whitepaper in 2014, developed and announced alongside the first sidechain, Elements Alpha, in 2015, and launched in production in 2018, Liquid has quietly become an important piece of infrastructure for bitcoin over the years.

It enables confidentiality by default, native asset issuance, 0-conf, and, more recently, high-assurance Simplicity smart contracts and a growing DeFi ecosystem.

Today, Liquid supports more than $5B in tokenized real-world assets, spanning stablecoins like USDT and DEPIX, tokenized stocks, private credit, and gold funds.

Four million blocks down. Bitcoin’s financial layer is just getting started.

Clams v1 has shipped.

Clams (nprofile…4cy0) brings Bitcoin layer-2s like Lightning and Liquid into one set of books, alongside your on-chain BTC. Channels, coins, and Liquid assets like USDt, reconciled together.

quoting
nevent1q…n7jc

Clams v1 is out of beta.

After two years of talking to bitcoiners, founders, and accountants, we kept hearing the same three problems:

You move Bitcoin between your own wallets and your tool books it as a sale. You overpay tax on coins you never sold. Clams matches transfers, on-chain and Lightning, and carries the cost basis across.

Your xpubs and full transaction history sit on someone else's server, one breach from exposure. Clams is local-first: run it on your laptop or self-host it on your own servers. We never see your data.

Your wallet balance matches but your books don't. Without double-entry, there's nothing to audit. Clams gives you real double-entry books with an audit trail behind every number.

We built Clams to fix all three, and a lot more.

Clams is paid software now: priced per person and per set of books, nothing else. No metering by wallet or transaction, no auto-renew, and reading your books stays free forever, even if you stop paying. Pay in Bitcoin over Lightning, or by card.

If you ran the v1 beta, it's free for you through the end of the year. Some of you offered to pay before we asked. We won't forget it.

Google Quantum AI's cryptocurrency paper highlights an ...

2026-04-07T01:56:09Z

Google Quantum AI's cryptocurrency paper highlights an important question: how do you prepare blockchain infrastructure for quantum computers?

The paper mentions using an Elements based sidechain like Liquid to possibly safeguard vulnerable bitcoin by enabling adjudication and recovery mechanisms through a community-ran federation.

This highlights Liquid's federated governance model, which can enable faster quantum readiness.
🧵

Bitcoin mainchain changes require global consensus. Conservative governance is a feature for base layer security.

Liquid's consensus model (11-of-15 functionary operators) with a federated governance enables faster protocol upgrades for testing post-quantum cryptography without any upstream risk to Bitcoin.

The Blockstream (nprofile…g8xl) Research team recently demonstrated SHRINCS post-quantum signatures on mainnet, without a soft fork, using Liquid's native smart contract language, Simplicity.

quoting
nevent1q…ders

Users can now protect their Liquid Bitcoin and issued assets against future quantum computer attacks.

Blockstream Research has deployed post-quantum signature verification on the LiquidNetwork (nprofile…0cnd) using Simplicity - a first on a production Bitcoin sidechain.

Opt-in quantum protection, available today. No consensus changes required.

How it works: Simplicity smart contracts enable custom spending conditions on Liquid. Lock your coins to a contract that requires post-quantum signatures to spend.

There are now real transactions on Liquid mainnet using SHRINCS, our optimized hash-based signature scheme.

The verifier library is open source and available now for wallet developers to integrate:

https://blog.blockstream.com/blockstream-research-demonstrates-quantum-resistant-transaction-signing-on-liquid-using-simplicity-smart-contracts/

Liquid is one instance of the open-source Elements platform that Blockstream maintains. As a fork of the Bitcoin Core codebase, it has long served as a proving grounds for upgrades to Bitcoin.

Schnorr signatures, SegWit, and OP_CSV were proven on Liquid before Bitcoin adoption. To this day, Elements maintains parity with Bitcoin Core, enabling bidirectional feature upgrades.

https://blog.liquid.net/bitcoin-core-and-elements/

Bitcoin maximizes decentralization with slow governance. As a sidechain, Liquid complements this, with distributed trust and faster iteration.

As quantum computing advances, Bitcoin will eventually need post-quantum cryptography.

Liquid, or another Elements-based network, can serve as a strong production environment for researchers to validate the robustness and usefulness of these upgrades before any mainchain deployment.

libsecp256k1 is the cryptographic library that secures every Bitcoin transaction and Blockstream Research is one of its key contributors and maintainers.

They also maintain libsecp256k1-zkp, the extended fork that powers the LiquidNetwork (nprofile…0cnd)'s Confidential Transactions, MuSig2, and zero-knowledge proofs.

The team has just brought the zkp fork up to date with 2.5 years of upstream improvements.

What changed: faster test frameworks, better MuSig2 documentation, performance optimizations, and security hardening.

This library powers Elements, Liquid Wallet Kit, Blockstream Explorer API, Jade, the Blockstream app, Core Lightning, and the entire Liquid ecosystem.

The functionality of virtually every existing opcode proposal, every DeFi primitive in use today, and much of what exists in traditional financial markets can theoretically be built and audited in Simplicity.

Start building the future of finance today.

In 2017, Blockstream set out to develop a smart contract language that outperforms Bitcoin Script and EVM, offering more expressiveness with stronger safety assurances. Eight years later, we believe we've done it.

Introducing Simplicity.

http://blog.blockstream.com/simplicity-launches-on-liquid-mainnet/

---

Simplicity isn't like Solidity, or most modern programming languages, which are Turing-complete. Instead, the language was designed to express any finite function while avoiding the risks associated with unbounded loops and global state.

https://simplicity-lang.org

---

Simplicity provides developers with high confidence in their applications, allowing them to know all potential outcomes and fee costs before execution.

The recent Bybit hack illustrates the risks of including features like recursion and global state.

https://blog.blockstream.com/the-risks-of-expressive-smart-contracts-lessons-from-the-latest-ethereum-hack/

---

With Simplicity's arrival, we have for the first time a clean foundation for serious financial applications, without the complexity and patchwork of risks that defined the last era of DeFi.

---

Want to build covenants, vaults and delegation schemes? Now you can on the LiquidNetwork (nprofile…0cnd). Want to create derivatives, pooled wallets or tokenless DEXs? That's possible too.

https://liquid.net

---

Simplicity on Liquid is just the beginning. With community feedback, real-world usage, and more tooling, docs, wallet support, and example contracts, our next major goal is to activate on a Bitcoin test network.

Get started today.

The Liquid Network has undergone a transformative rebrand, featuring a new sleek logo and user-friendly website (liquid.net) to better represent its elevated role within Bitcoin's layer-2 ecosystem. 🧵👇

Liquid's new logo is a nod to the popular wave emoji that’s long been used by the online Bitcoin community. It perfectly captures its growing role in Bitcoin finance and seamless interoperability.

Thank you for the inspiration! 🌊 🙏

The revamped website doesn’t just refresh Liquid's visual identity but highlights its versatility as both an independent solution and a companion to its sister protocol, Lightning, with references and resources to projects like Boltz, PeerSwap, Lightning on Liquid, and more.

To best illustrate this, we've organized the website into four portals: developers, enterprises, users, and merchants. These portals serve to streamline the onboarding experience and tailor resources to each user group's unique needs.

Developers, for instance, will find technical documentation and SDKs that simplify building on Liquid. Meanwhile, merchants and enterprises can explore how Liquid improves cross-border payments and enables the issuance of tokenized assets confidentially and securely.

On the user side, we share how Liquid delivers an optimal way to stack sats and manage Lightning channels in high-fee environments, as well as detail how users can access Bitcoin-denominated financial products and self-custody them offline in a Jade hardware wallet.

We've also added interactive features to simplify concepts and data sets, including a new dashboard tracking key metrics like LBTC circulation, transaction volume, and TVL, along with visual models of the federation in action.

This rebrand is just the beginning! We're setting the stage for broader adoption and innovation, making Liquid and other L2s more accessible to businesses and users alike to drive hyperbitcoinization.

If you have any suggestions for the new site, please comment below or DM us!

Federation update: After merging 'Discounted Fees for Confidential Transactions' (ELIP200) in the latest Elements release last week, the new fee policy has been activated on Liquid testnet to assist with QA and future iterations.

quoting
note1c2h…vzqu

In the latest Elements release, we add initial support for discounted Confidential Transactions (CT) fees. This new policy reduces fees by nearly 90%, from around 250 sats to 25 sats, achieving close to what it would be on non-CT transactions.

The 23.2.3 release activates the new fee policy for relay on Liquid testnet. This allows Liquid wallets and platforms to begin integration and testing, with a production release expected in the near future.

The new fee policy will make Liquid’s confidentiality even more economical, particularly when stacking bitcoin in high-fee environments, swapping to Lightning, or sending cross-border stablecoin remittances.

Learn more about the discounted CT fee and read more updates in the blog post. ⬇️
