Is an AMM with no admin keys, no upgrades, and permanent on-chain settlement possible?

@OceanSlim is exploring this on Liquid using Simplicity - high-assurance smart contracts where the math is enforced cryptographically, not by trusted operators.

Slim will demo early work at Simplicity Office Hours on Tuesday!



Ask questions and see what's possible when smart contracts settle with cryptographic guarantees.

Bitcoin's first and most battle-tested sidechain just received a cryptographic upgrade thanks to @nprofile1q... Research and enhancements upstream from Bitcoin.

- More secure API functions
- Faster ECDSA and Schnorr signing
- Faster pub-key generation
- Faster ZKPs like CT and CA

Prediction markets are in development on Liquid.

Covenant-based settlement enforced by cryptography.

@RESOLVR is building with Simplicity — high-assurance smart contracts, mathematically provable execution.

Bitcoin derivatives belong on Bitcoin infrastructure.

STOKR CEO ArnabNaskarr explains how they have used Liquid to issue over $1.3b of regulated structured products.

The power of Liquid<>Lightning interoperability. Two of the most secure layer-two protocols, both with proven track records, working together to make bitcoin transactions cheaper, more private, and faster for everyday users.

Simplicity verifies any zero-knowledge proof on-chain. Andrew Poelstra (@`Blockstream` Research) explains how Starkware built a STARK verifier that fits in a block.

Liquid provides the most robust and proven Bitcoin infrastructure.

Simplicity is the most advanced way to unlock that power.

Join the Simplicity Office Hours, Tuesday 8:00 AM PT, to dive into the tech, ask questions, share ideas.

The Simplicity signature verifier is the first building block in making Liquid fully quantum-resistant. As Liquid's technical provider, @nprofile1q..., is leading research into quantum-resistant bridges, confidential transactions, and assets. More to share soon. 🌊

Simplicity is live on Liquid - a high assurance smart contract language designed for Bitcoin-like blockchains with formal verification at its core.

The Liquid Federation is excited to welcome seven new member companies: Cowbolt, Eulen, illuminodes, Mooze, OrderMoon, Sorted Wallet, and SOUSTA, bringing total Federation membership to 87.

Together, they represent a meaningful expansion in both where Liquid is being deployed and how it is being used.



The new members broaden Liquid’s usage across three distinct sectors: everyday payments, decentralized protocols and infrastructure, and Bitcoin capital markets.

In the latest Liquid Federation update, we reflect on last year’s progress: skyrocketing network activity, rapid TVL growth (~$5B), and exponential adoption. We also preview the exciting new developments coming in 2026, setting the stage for an even more impactful year ahead.



In the coming weeks, the Federation will share a public roadmap outlining new features and upgrades for the near term. These include multi-asset fee payments, settlement with 0-conf, and other improvements aimed at furthering institutional adoption.

Liquid isn't theoretical. @nprofile1q..., @JAN3's Aqua, @BULL BITCOIN, Side Swap, and @Boltz - Non-Custodial Bitcoin Bridge are all interoperating today.

@Stephan Livera breaks it down: peg in BTC, move LBTC with one-minute blocks and confidential transactions.
