- Introducing Rollkit, the first sovereign rollup framework 🧮 Deploy any VM or application as your own sovereign blockchain in seconds – as easily as typing Rollkit start ✨ Video credit: @JoshCStein
00:00 - Introducing Evolve — the fastest way to launch an L1. With Celestia underneath ✨ No rent. No lock-in. No validators needed to launch a high-performance network. Just raw, unstoppable execution.👇
00:00 - Replying to @ev_stackHow did we do it? 💡 Ordinals showed us it was possible to publish arbitrary data to Bitcoin. We saw this and decided to follow a similar process. At its core, all that was needed was two functions: one to submit rollup blocks, and another to retrieve them.

- Replying to @ev_stackTo write and read data on Bitcoin, we use Taproot transactions. The new `bitcoin-da`package provides the necessary reader/writer interface to Bitcoin. The package can be re-used by any project that wants to read/write data on Bitcoin
- Replying to @ev_stackOur demo features a Rollkit EVM sovereign rollup running on top of a local Bitcoin testnet. Check it out below and follow along if you’re interested in experimenting with your own Bitcoin sovereign rollup!
- Replying to @ev_stackRollkit is a modular framework for rollups that provides interfaces for plugging in different components, like data availability layers. The newest addition is an early research implementation of a module that allows a Rollkit rollup to use Bitcoin for data availability.
- "The ability for a blockchain's community to protect against hacks and do upgrades via hard forks is an extremely important part of a blockchain" Retain your rollup's ability to hard fork with @cosmos_sdk and @RollkitDev.

The platform takes a modular approach to blockchains, allowing developers to post data onto it without the need for
00:00 - Replying to @ev_stackTo learn more about the theory of using Bitcoin as a data availability layer for sovereign rollups, check out this thread by @lightcoin (x.com/lightcoin/stat…) or this blog post by @CelestiaOrg (blog.celestia.org/sovereign-roll…).A few weeks ago @ercwl gave a talk at #StarkWareSessions where he left the audience with an intriguing idea: what if we used the same technique that inscriptions use to embed data in bitcoin to build a sovereign rollup on bitcoin? yewtu.be/watch?v=_hLvvZ…

- Replying to @ev_stackThis new integration expands the possibilities for rollups, and also has the potential to help bootstrap a healthy blockspace fee market on Bitcoin, enabling a more sustainable security budget.
