Jeremy Rubin on Char: The Infrastructure Bet Underneath Every Bitcoin L2

Every Bitcoin Layer 2 quietly depends on a trusted operator to order transactions and that's the single point of failure Jeremy Rubin wants to kill. In this MIT Bitcoin Expo conversation with Bitcoin Magazine's Shinobi, Rubin breaks down Char Network, a decentralized shared sequencer that lets anyone participate like a miner. He explains how staked Bitcoin gets burned the moment a participant cheats, and why anchoring proof of stake to Bitcoin avoids the pitfalls of standalone PoS chains.Grab your copy THE 2036 ISSUE👇https://store.bitcoinmagazine.com/pages/the-2036-issue🔶 Shinobi — Bitcoin Magazine🔶 Jeremy Rubin — Founder & CEO, Char Network Chapters: 00:41 — Who is Jeremy Rubin and what is Char Network02:26 — The sequencing problem inside Bitcoin Layer 2s03:49 — Decentralizing the trusted bridge operator05:54 — Equivocate and your staked Bitcoin gets burned08:09 — Long-range attacks vs Bitcoin-anchored security10:47 — Signatures, the torus, and exposing private keys14:06 — The hunt for a VRF and discovering eVRFs15:33 — MuSig, deterministic nonces, and the Purify library18:11 — Garbled circuits and a Bitcoin behind every blade of grass#Bitcoin #BitcoinLayer2 #CharNetwork #JeremyRubin #BitcoinMagazine #MITBitcoinExpo #BitVM #ProofOfStake #BitcoinStaking #DecentralizedSequencer #Layer2 #Rollups #BitcoinDevelopment #GarbledCircuits #MuSig #eVRF #CTV #BitcoinScaling #Shinobi #BitcoinCore #BitcoinConferenceDISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or any affiliated entities.
