The latest $128M Balancer exploit is a reminder of something fundamental: most smart contracts today rely on audit-based hope*.*
Developers write complex code, auditors review it, and everyone hopes there are no hidden logic flaws. But hope isn’t assurance.
---
Simplicity takes a different approach.
Developed by Blockstream Research in 2017, it’s a formally verifiable language. Meaning contracts can be mathematically proven to do exactly what they’re intended to do, and nothing more.
No audits are required to verify the contract is doing what it is supposed to do.
https://blossom.primal.net/a4fbc159f9d4df0974cbc4b0bf1c2f69fae0c44621aeb4a722159f9d394cec2d.png
---
To understand why this matters, consider what causes most DeFi hacks:
- Ambiguous conditions
- Unchecked assumptions
- Logical edge cases that humans miss
Audits catch some of these, but not all.
Simplicity eliminates ambiguity at the language level.
---
How does it work?
Simplicity is designed to be mathematically rigorous and predictable.
As a low-level functional language, it allows mechanical reasoning about behavior, with proofs verifiable before any on-chain deployment.
---
General-purpose languages are great for flexibility, but that flexibility comes at a cost: ambiguity.
A single unchecked assumption in a general-purpose contract can have systemic financial consequences.
---
Simplicity was engineered for high-assurance financial programming, where correctness, termination, and behavior can be *proven* before deployment.
Its semantics are clear, and its outcomes deterministic.
---
The goal isn’t “more expressive” smart contracts.
It’s contracts that can’t fail silently, because they’ve been verified to work exactly as intended.
That’s the difference between general-purpose code and high-assurance engineering.
---
Simplicity was launched on the @nprofile…0cnd July 31, 2025 and has been live since.
Further integrations are underway for:
- AMP - Enabling verifiable issuance and asset control
- Enterprise Custody Solutions (ECS) - providing proof-backed execution paths for institutional custody workflows
---
Simplicity prioritizes reliability over expressiveness. Rather than expanding complexity, it establishes a verifiable foundation.
---
In short:
Simplicity moves smart contracting from “we think this is secure” to “we can prove it is.”

Bitcoin adoption keeps growing. Each wave brings new users and new expectations.
We just shipped a new release of the Blockstream app, focused on advanced user flows. Making air-gapped hardware wallet custody and 2FA-enhanced security smoother while keeping everything fast, focused, and open source. 🧵⬇️
https://blossom.primal.net/f71127162a3f35b7cfbc73512f1b6b113322075abec56e4eba3a0c1cd3f4d2fd.mp4
Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) are what power air-gapped self-custody.
Now fully supported for watch-only BTC wallets compose a transaction on your mobile, export it using native iOS or Android tools, sign it offline with your Jade, then bring it back to broadcast.
Also compatible with Bitcoin Core and Sparrow Wallet.
https://blossom.primal.net/1c132f0ddba2c966284dca917b9d607f97a24405dfd5f7c14e87740cc3f54b50.gif
Two-factor authentication in Bitcoin multi-signature setups is a powerful, modern security method that Blockstream pioneered years ago.
In this release, 2FA (on Android) is faster to configure, easier to recover, and more clearly organized improving security while removing friction for everyday use.
https://blossom.primal.net/d7d390849e7c363a115f9af17c6912b776a5ee27cc2f33ce58999a5ec95775de.gif
Better UX is key to our mission of making the Blockstream app the complete Bitcoin platform.
This release offers a cleaner, more intuitive UI for more advanced flows like watch-only wallets. Bitcoin and @nprofile…0cnd accounts can now be imported more easily, with automatic detection on Android and iOS.
https://blossom.primal.net/24286f8affd855d20075e4ec776e4366f2a2772d8e9a6f0b3c1e82644f059870.gif

The future of finance runs on Bitcoin. 🌎⚡
At WebX2025 this weekend, @adam3us explained how Bitcoin is becoming the operating system for capital markets.
Here’s the vision 👇
https://blossom.primal.net/94727d85684d4e9efd8abdea4e2804dff3b3cd60f74b8fcb3fc2734a261a58f0.jpg
---
Today's financial system is fragmented:
■ 180+ fiat currencies creating friction
■ Banks charging 3-7% for international transfers
■ 2-5 day settlement times
■ Counterparty risk at every step
Bitcoin fixes this with a unified platform for money and value transfer: The Bitcoin Operating System.
---
The Bitcoin Operating System uses a layered approach:
🧱 Base Layer: Immutable settlement secured by PoW
🌊 Liquid Network: Financial layer for assets and securities
⚡ Lightning: Payment layer for instant global transfers
📱 Enterprise Apps: Custody, tokenization, payments, settlements
---
This isn't theoretical. The internet became the OS for information by creating unified standards.
Bitcoin is doing the same for money. One global standard for value transfer and programmable finance.

🔹 Pioneering Lightning R&D with Core Lightning
🔹 Enterprise custody, tokenization, and treasury solutions
---
Blockstream Enterprise solves the three barriers to Bitcoin adoption:
🔒 Secure Bitcoin treasury and custody
🪙 Tokenization and smart contracts
🔗 Sidechains-as-a-Service
---
Enterprise Custody: Brings cryptographic security with the usability enterprises need.
🔧 Configurable controls for speed, security, or convenience
👥 Segregated accounts & spending rules
🏛️ Policy engine to remove single points of failure
🔗 API integrations with existing systems
---
Asset Management Platform (AMP): AMP + Simplicity unlock programmable enterprise finance on Bitcoin:
🪙 Tokenized assets
📜 Smart contracts with Simplicity from Blockstream Research
🏛️ Automated compliance checks
---
Liquid as a Service: Customizable federated sidechains enable stakeholders to set rules for:
⏱️ Settlement times
🌿 Network fees
⚖️ Compliance regimes
---
The numbers show institutional adoption accelerating:
☑️ Bitcoin ETFs: $150B | 870,928 BTC+ in assets
🏛️ Corporate treasuries: 900,000+ BTC
🌍 Nation-states: 300,000+ BTC
🏦 Traditional finance entering rapidly
---
From individual HODLers to institutions managing billions, Blockstream builds secure, scalable infrastructure to integrate Bitcoin into global finance.
---
The alt-coin narrative is dead.
The future is Bitcoin: secure, layered, and programmable.
While others build on experimental blockchains, Blockstream builds on the most secure network ever created. 🚀

In this clip, @nprofile…3jzg clears up a common mistake:
Your hardware wallet isn’t where your Bitcoin lives, it’s just how you use it.
Your seed words are the Bitcoin. That’s why serious Bitcoiners back them up on metal, not paper.

In 2017, Blockstream set out to develop a smart contract language that outperforms Bitcoin Script and EVM, offering more expressiveness with stronger safety assurances. Eight years later, we believe we've done it.
Introducing Simplicity.
http://blog.blockstream.com/simplicity-launches-on-liquid-mainnet/
https://blossom.primal.net/74f377f912e5e746113c30436ac6ea0f9b6820bc886e1abe99a2f7c043aa492f.png
---
Simplicity isn't like Solidity, or most modern programming languages, which are Turing-complete. Instead, the language was designed to express any finite function while avoiding the risks associated with unbounded loops and global state.
https://simplicity-lang.org
https://blossom.primal.net/21bbbf85c54a5b4cbddc7553a29467ce7f7eb8cdbc1c4fb24b34cfa3469e280e.png
---
Simplicity provides developers with high confidence in their applications, allowing them to know all potential outcomes and fee costs before execution.
The recent Bybit hack illustrates the risks of including features like recursion and global state.
https://blog.blockstream.com/the-risks-of-expressive-smart-contracts-lessons-from-the-latest-ethereum-hack/
https://blossom.primal.net/21791e16181251d4a7b8133eedce6a7abbe540dc8f19bb30935880051348b19a.jpg
---
With Simplicity's arrival, we have for the first time a clean foundation for serious financial applications, without the complexity and patchwork of risks that defined the last era of DeFi.
---
Want to build covenants, vaults and delegation schemes? Now you can on the @nprofile…0cnd. Want to create derivatives, pooled wallets or tokenless DEXs? That's possible too.
https://liquid.net
---
Simplicity on Liquid is just the beginning. With community feedback, real-world usage, and more tooling, docs, wallet support, and example contracts, our next major goal is to activate on a Bitcoin test network.
Get started today.
