Will zkRollups on Bitcoin render other blockchains obsolete? 🟠 At House of ZK’s @Bitcoin Economy Conference, this panel unpacked whether Bitcoin-native zkRollups can match the programmability of other L1s - and what tradeoffs and narratives come with it.

Key takeaways from panel “Will zkRollups on @Bitcoin Render All Other Blockchains Obsolete?” at House of ZK’s @Bitcoin Economy Conference 👇 1️⃣ Bitcoin rollups ≠ Ethereum rollups • Mimicking @ethereum rollup architecture leads to high costs • Validiums, atomic swaps, and custom DA setups better fit Bitcoin’s constraints 2️⃣ Trust Models Vary • Some want permissionless bridges • Institutions prefer “trusted” bridges with legal recourse • Tradeoffs between security, usability & regulatory trust 3️⃣ UX Still Lags • Most BTC holders want simplicity, not DeFi complexity • Real opportunity lies in safe, self-custodial low-risk yield • Winning = “1-click experience”, not more tech 4️⃣ Obsoleting other L1s? Unlikely • Bitcoin rollups won’t make Ethereum or other L1s obsolete • Block latency, infra gaps & strong dev loyalty keep other L1s sticky • BTC ZK rollups will complement, not replace, the multi-chain world 5️⃣ Narrative Evolution • Bitcoin = digital gold → premier asset class & secure global ledger • “Secured by Bitcoin” may become the next seal of trust for crypto apps • BTC ZK rollups enable new use cases - but must feel seamless to real users
