A paper that I paused in 2025... and now I can finish much faster with the help of AI:
nitter.cf/bitvmx/status/21107943…
New research from Fairgate's CTO, @SDLerner: FlatMerkle.
The paper introduces a way to achieve compact, logarithmic-size inclusion proofs using a single linear hash stream, without requiring a traditional Merkle tree.

ICYMI, we recently shared the story of how Bit2 came to life.
From testing Lightning for agentic payments to realizing Bitcoin needed a new approach, we take a look at the research, challenges, and decisions that led us to build Bit2.

When I designed a hardware wallet in 2013, I placed the electronics it in a transparent acrylic case:

Protecting from tampering in the supply chain was essential.
I hope all hardware wallet manufacturers start offering transparent devices.

What if scaling Bitcoin isn’t about making it do more, but making it better at securing what gets built on top?

In mid-2025, the Fairgate team ran the numbers on the Lightning Network as an agentic payment rail: transaction costs, locked collateral, routing complexity, payment success rates, mass-exit safety.
The conclusion was hard to accept. Lightning, for all its contributions to Bitcoin, couldn't economically compete with centralized rails like Base or Tempo for machine-to-machine commerce at scale.
So the choice became binary: let centralized companies own the agentic economy, or build Bitcoin a new Layer 2 from first principles.
That's where Bit2 started. The full history can be found here: fairgate.io/post/56-the-hist…
