Our boss gave you a 10k word thread on vaults this weekend. 🧵
If you were busy frolicking and didn't read it (like us), here's a shorter explanation of vaults with lots of emojis:
Revault retweeted
@revaultdev was--still is, one of the most interesting novel Bitcoin products I've ever seen. It breaks my soul watching literally every institution and big service provider in the space converging within a handful of mega custodian honeypot, when people like Kevin and @Wizardsardine actually worked to fix the hard problems, the right way, and factually ship and see no traction, even from the most "hardcore Bitcoiner" companies.
Yes, it required some very complex engineering, but they pulled off a real vault design, without covenants, and nobody cared. I don't think vaults move the covenants needle significantly.
Me, seen as a vault hater.
Also, me, launched the first on-chain Bitcoin Vault company, full open-source novel architecture and "working" product, built with Miniscript (in 2020 ffs, no hardware nor Core support back then!).
I believe my opinion counts a little bit, and I don't think I'd have spent years of my life doing this if I didn't want vaults.
I'm not the market though.
Revault works today, without covenants. If a large institution need a Bitcoin vault today, we can help them integrate it. Don't expect it to be simple to deploy, but it works.
Fucked up an outgoing transaction? Watching it helplessly while it's being picked up by a miner?
Next time, deploy Revault. Cancel outgoing transactions with no fear. You can even have a watchtower automatically cancel it if it looks outrageous like that one.
83.7 BTC transaction fee 😳

liana is doing amazing things with miniscript. revault is my spirit animal.
@mercury_wallet uses a really cool MPC scheme plus mainstay (*the* coolest way to anchor to bitcoin) to do statechains (digital opendime)

So many gems in here
The conversation with @KLoaec on the Genesis of @revaultdev from a post by @kanzure on bitcoin-dev
Such a great example of how an idea becomes a company formed to provide tangible solution to a problem

We just released the fourth version of Liana, with support for multiple timelocked recovery paths as well as many usability improvements on the GUI!

If any large exchange or custodian feels like working with us on a @revaultdev deployment, ping us :D
But yes, it's a complex infrastructure to maintain.
I tried to bring covenants to several companies I worked for. In the end they're just too complex. You really need three wallets instead of one, and additional state management. Long term I think we'll get them but I'd like to see @revaultdev succeed commercially first.

[BRONZE PARTNER INTRODUCTION]
@Wizardsardine is a team of bitcoiners with a passion for security working on @revaultdev and Liana Wallet. CEO @KLoaec will be speaking on the stage during the conference.
Revault retweeted
Introducing Liana, by @Wizardsardine . A new type of Bitcoin wallet built around Miniscript: it feels like any wallet BUT it has a big difference: you have a recovery path after you stop moving funds for a while. What does this mean, practically?
-> backups
-> inheritance
1/n
Revault retweeted
Here is Liana. A light solution for enhanced self-custody. Inheritance, advanced recovery and more to come.

Hello world! You may know us as the @revaultdev people. We are releasing SOMETHING ELSE (very) soon 😱. Until now only a very few friends knew the team as WS, but hey we are now going public with this name.
The team behind Revault will release something new very soon. Keep an eye on @WizardSardine to not miss it :)
Revault retweeted
Kevin Loaec (@kloaec) is a long time bitcoiner with a keen interest in the security and adversarial side of things. CEO at Wizardsardine ( aka @revaultdev ), he is also known for co-organizing Breaking Bitcoin and Building on Bitcoin a few years ago.
Revault retweeted
Antoine Poinsot (@darosior) is the CTO at Wizardsardine (aka @revaultdev), contributor to Bitcoin Core, C-lightning, and various other open source Bitcoin projects.
Caveats:
- on-chain footprint is larger than regular Bitcoin tx.
- as long as covenants aren't a thing on Bitcoin, the infrastructure is complex
- hardware wallets need to be better: miniscript support, compatible with the Vault transaction chain, to make Revault safer to use.
