Building BitEVM: A Phased Approach

Developing a secure and scalable Bitcoin ZK Rollup solution with BitEVM presents a significant challenge. However, BitEVM prioritizes security above all else. To ensure a smooth journey, we've outlined a two-phase development plan: Alpha Mainnet and Mainnet.

Alpha Mainnet: Laying the Foundation

The Alpha Mainnet phase focuses on minimizing system complexity. Our primary goal is to develop, integrate, and test the various components of the BitEVM ZK Rollup. This phase lays the groundwork for the more intricate features to come.

Mainnet: Unleashing the Potential

The Mainnet phase unlocks the full potential of BitEVM. Here, we will transform on-chain validation into efficient Taproot scripts. Additionally, we will convert the off-chain Prover and Verifier components into circuits and implement Anti-Transaction Reordering using SVMZK.

Testing Every Step of the Way

In parallel with development, we will introduce corresponding Testnets at various stages. These Testnets act as safe environments where we can rigorously test functionality and performance. This meticulous approach ensures the stability and reliability of BitEVM before major updates are deployed.

The following sections will provide a deeper dive into the technical architecture for each phase. This detailed breakdown aims to offer a clear picture of our development process and the steps we are taking to deliver a robust and secure solution.
