BitcoinOS A superchain of interoperable Bitcoin rollups with near trustless bitcoin rails We’re leveraging our experience to create new layers of functionality for bitcoin. A massive collaboration of developers is building the scalable smart layer that will allow anyone to build interoperable apps and chains on bitcoin.

BitcoinOS will be a scalable network of rollups that share Bitcoin’s security. The many projects built on BitcoinOS chains will all be interoperable. This will allow for a massive bitcoin-native economy. Bitcoin will become more than digital gold; it will be the operating system of the future.

BitcoinOS will unleash BTC, the world’s highest value decentralized asset. Bitcoin mainchain and its unparalleled PoW security will directly secure BTC across the entire ecosystem.

BitcoinOS will be built collaboratively. A fully permissionless open-source public good. Anyone can contribute and developers will be able to build with any programming language.

What is BitcoinOS and how is it related to Sovryn? BitcoinOS is a framework, a superlayer of trustless and interoperable rollups on Bitcoin. Multiple projects and developers are coming together to build BitcoinOS as a bitcoin public good. Sovryn will be the first of many implementations of this modular system.

Why are rollups on Bitcoin important? Rollups are the key to turning Bitcoin into the next revolution, the next reboot of the entire crypto space. They consolidate a large number of off-chain transactions, bundling them together into a validity proof, increasing Bitcoin scalability by orders of magnitude.

How will BitcoinOS revolutionize the use of bitcoin? With BitcoinOS, you'll be able to use bitcoin near trustlessly without relying on federated or economically secured pegs. We're introducing cryptographically trust-minimized bitcoin, eliminating the need for intermediaries. Developers will have the freedom to build anything permissionlessly, ensuring interoperability and scalability.

What Differentiates BitcoinOS from other rollup initiatives? BitcoinOS supports a network of rollups, each with its own choice of execution environment, while maintaining interoperability and composability among all of them and reducing costs using a compression, aggregation, and settlement module that registers their joint validity proof as a Bitcoin transaction, acquiring Bitcoin POW security.

This is not an operating system and I am sick of the new marketing trend of labeling platforms or ecosystems as operating systems. They are not even remotely close to the same thing. Show me something that runs on bare metal and then I might show interest. Until then I think its incredibly disingenuous and I would be wary of anyone using the term wrong.

Let's wait. This is completly new. I understand that using a marketing name as BitcoinOS will atract many undreduly people.

According to some devs, they still need to do an upcode on bitcoin core to be trully trustless, but they agree that the concept is interesting.

Ok, good concept.

If you need create a new "layer" and need change Core at the some point his project is useless.

I see the word rollups… But not a whole lot else.

Is this like BitVM?

I think they're building eth-style rollups on top of rootstock, which is an eth clone that is also a federated bitcoin sidechain

So it doesn't currently have anything to do with bitvm, but some of the rootstock guys have expressed interest in bitvm. If it really offers an improvement over their current federated model I wouldn't be surprised if they rebuild rootstock's deposit/withdrawal mechanism to take advantage of bitvm's features. Let's wait and see. Bitvm doesn't have any working sidechain code yet but myself and some others are working on it.
