Mental Model for Building Smart Contracts on Bitcoin

Web3Bridge Conference 2024 · 7 Sept 2024 · 30:00

Abimbola Adebayo lays out a mental model for building smart contracts on Bitcoin at the Web3Bridge Conference, covering how Bitcoin's more limited scripting language forces a different approach to contract logic than Ethereum's account-based, Turing-complete EVM. He walks through the constraints Bitcoin's UTXO model places on what a smart contract can express and how newer approaches work within them. The talk gives developers coming from Ethereum a framework for reasoning about Bitcoin's different execution model.
