Block signers on Liquid can't decrypt transactions. No keys. No binding. No front-running. @adam3us on how Confidential Transactions largely solve the MEV problem and why that matters for trading on Liquid with platforms like @side_swap.

Near-instant settlement on Liquid is in public beta testing. 0-conf lets services act on transactions before block confirmation, removing friction from swaps and payment flows where waiting a single block is already too long. blog.blockstream.com/liquid-…

Activation complete. βœ… ELIP 203 is now live on Liquid, removing the issuance cap for non-LBTC assets and unlocking better UX for large-scale tokenization. Mainnet proof. πŸ‘‡ blockstream.info/liquid/tx/6… First major roadmap upgrade shipped. Next up: 0-conf by end of June. ⏱️
Attention Liquid node runners! Reminder: update your Elements nodes to at least v23.3.1 ahead of the scheduled activation of ELIP 203 on Monday, June 1, 2026. This update also ensures the best experience when building with Simplicity smart contracts. github.com/ElementsProject/e…

Simplicity on Liquid was designed for exactly this problem. Formally verifiable smart contracts you can prove before they execute. The attack surface shrinks when the code can be mathematically checked.
PSA: I now consider *all* of DeFi unsafe. Coding agents are superhuman at finding vulnerabilities, and smart contract security is too asymmetric: defenders need to fix every bug while attackers need just one exploit to steal funds.

if you’re in evm pivot to simplicity

Dear EVM devs, respectfully, this is why we: - build Liquid on the bitcoin codebase - use the UTXO model, avoiding the failed-execution fee problem - rely on low-level, established cryptography so core functionality is as native as possible - support native asset issuance, multisig and privacy without layering everything through external contracts - provide privacy by default, helping reduce front-running and protect financial data - use non-turing complete smart contracts with no recursion or unbounded loops - avoid speculative utility tokens that attract scammers and create misaligned incentives - generally choose to build with a low-time preference mindset: security > convenience Ethereum did a great job courting young, talented devs and building a thriving ecosystem. I don't think anyone disputes that. The problem is that it was mis-designed and built on the wrong architectural foundation, and the market is finally starting to recognize that. We've been waiting for these talented devs (who can teach the space a thing or two about UX) to shift to bitcoin, the most battle-tested and secure architecture in crypto. We welcome you.

Every Tuesday at 08:00 AM PDT, join @Blockstream engineers for Simplicity Office Hours. This week: digging into what came out of the Turin Simplicity Hackathon. ☎️ πŸ”— docs.simplicity-lang.org/off…

The results are in from the Blockstream Turin Simplicity Hackathon. 20 developers spent a weekend building real smart contracts on Simplicity covenant DEXs, inheritance tools, post-quantum wallets, and more. First place goes to: PQ Liquid Wallet, taking home $3,000 in bitcoin: PQ Liquid Wallet is the first wallet to test Blockstream's research on protecting Bitcoin from future quantum computers.

Over $100M in BTC and stablecoin payouts were settled on Liquid in 2025 by @stokr_io alone! @Arnab_Naskarr explains how Bitcoin-native securities run on Liquid: with programmable payouts, NAV calculations and instant settlement in LBTC.
