Bitcoin bridges often require operators to front liquidity or recipients to be registered in advance.
TOOP removes both requirements while maintaining a 1-of-n honest security model.
Ramsès Fernández will present our TOOP-Bridge paper at #BCCA2026 on November 16.
Conference details: bcca-conference.org/2026/
The Agentic Economy Briefing #07 is out.

This month: only 0.6%–7.5% of screened x402 commerce looks like AI agents (TRM Labs), Block brings Lightning into x402, Circle opens Arc, and CanopyMarket.ai indexes 100,000+ x402 endpoints.
Coming up this week at @labitconf!
Friday: @SDLerner presents Bit2 and how client-side validation can support instant, private payments for autonomous agents on Bitcoin.
Saturday: A discussion on who makes the decisions in Bitcoin.
