New research from Fairgate's @SDLerner: Verifiable Data on Bitcoin: FlatMerkle Commitments, Refutable Proofs, and FlatChecks.
The paper introduces a way to publish data and claims that can be challenged and resolved directly on Bitcoin through BitVM-style disputes.
Only one small step needs to be verified, keeping dispute costs at approximately 37,500–100,000 vbytes.

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/

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.

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.

A Groth16 verifier garbled with standard Boolean circuits needs ~10 billion ciphertexts. OHMG's arithmetic, one-hot approach brings that down roughly 100x.
