# Bitlayer's Exploration of BitVM3

At Bitlayer, we are actively contributing to the evolution of Bitcoin's capabilities through our work on BitVM3. This next-generation technology aims to significantly enhance the efficiency of Bitcoin transactions by reducing their size and eliminating the reliance on non-standard transactions and private mempools.

The BitVM Alliance, a collaborative effort of which we are a part, is exploring several promising avenues to achieve this. These include innovative approaches like Yao’s garbled circuit with Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), a variation using the cut-and-choose method, and an RSA-based scheme proposed by Robin Linus.

While these explorations are vital, Bitlayer is forging a unique path. We are currently developing what we've tentatively named "Practical-BitGC," a novel lattice-based garbled circuit scheme. Our primary focus with this approach is to tackle and solve the significant computational complexity inherent in such systems, making it a more practical and scalable solution.

We are optimistic about our progress and plan to share the detailed scheme with the community soon, pending the successful outcome of our ongoing Proof-of-Concept.

Looking ahead, our vision is to integrate these advancements directly into our products. We have a long-term plan to upgrade our BitVM Bridge from BitVM2 to the more powerful and efficient BitVM3, bringing these foundational improvements to our users.
