How It Works

Instant Ownership Transfers Thunderbolt allows users to transfer UTXO ownership instantly off-chain by applying cryptographic tweaks. This bypasses the need for immediate on-chain settlement, enabling near-instant transactions.

Trustless Validation Instead of relying on miners or centralized parties, Thunderbolt uses decentralized committees that verify each transaction using threshold Schnorr signatures. It ensures that ownership changes are secure and can be enforced on-chain if needed.

Massive Efficiency Gains By shifting transaction logic off-chain and only interacting with Bitcoin’s base layer when necessary, Thunderbolt cuts down on congestion, improves transaction throughput, and dramatically increases speed—all while maintaining the integrity of Bitcoin’s security model.
