Bitcoin Thunderbolt Leverages Tessel Compiler Breakthrough Accepted at SBC’25

The research paper, ’Tessel: An Optimized Compiler for Cryptographic Circuits’, has been accepted for presentation at the renowned SBC’25 blockchain conference, signifying a milestone for the Bitcoin Thunderbolt protocol and broader Bitcoin development. Developed by a collaboration between experts at the University of California, Santa Barbara, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the University of Toronto, and the Nubit team, Tessel introduces advanced optimizations for cryptographic circuit compilers. This innovation enhances on-chain verification, increases programmability, and strengthens security for the Bitcoin network by streamlining transaction processing. The improvements are particularly significant for Bitcoin Thunderbolt, a protocol aiming to solve Bitcoin’s scalability and efficiency challenges. The paper’s inclusion at SBC’25, a conference endorsed by top academic and industry institutions like IC3, Stanford Center for Blockchain Research, and UC Berkeley RDI, underlines its relevance and impact. For crypto traders, these advancements may indicate potential long-term growth in Bitcoin’s utility and adoption, especially as on-chain scalability and security improve.
