A zero-conf Liquid payment can now be accepted early, backed by real data.

The new 0-conf API reports exactly how many nodes across the network have seen a transaction, so integrators set their own acceptance threshold.

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.

Other chains retrofit security tokens and end up with complicated, expensive, hard-to-secure messes.

Liquid's AMP is a 2-of-2 multisig. The blockchain doesn't need to know anything else. npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kwon the security track record.
