This page is a work in progress.

The BitcoinZ Light Client from the Proofcast suite offers an accessible, less resource-intensive way to interact with the Bitcoin blockchain. As interchain operability grows, light clients will be crucial for verifying chain status, such as verifying Bitcoin state on an EVM-compatible chain.

Key Features

  • Zero-Knowledge Proof: Utilizes sp1 and risc0 zero-knowledge proofs.
    • SP1 zkVM: Implemented in Rust.
    • RISC0: Supports CPU and GPU runs.

Usage

To integrate and test the BitcoinZ Light Client, follow the instructions provided in the GitHub README.
