A deep dive into escrow-less Bitcoin collateralized lending. Uses Hash Time Lock Contracts across two chains (Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin Layer 2 etc) for stablecoin lending. Employs DLCs with blind oracles. Non-custodial.

Miniscript Explainers & AnchorWatch Going Live with Lloyds

Miniscript is a simpler language that compiles to Bitcoin scripts. It can express AND, OR, time locks, script locks etc. Combined with Taproot/Tapscript you get multiple execution paths with different payout/unlock rules for different scenarios. Matched with Lloyds of London for 100% insurance coverage (at time of insurance, in $ value).

Similar concept to FROST, but uses Tapscript and MuSig (a 2-of-2 that looks like a single sig). Different unlocks are hidden in different Taproot trees.
