exSat: The Docking Layer for BTC Scalability

on YouTube ↗13m

" summary

exSat builds a docking layer that indexes full UTXO state into a RAM-backed network so Bitcoin transactions can trigger off-chain smart contracts. Miners with >51% combined hash power act as synchronizers if they mined a block in the last 72 hours and push UTXO snapshots; a hybrid consensus then adds PoS validators who must stake 100 BIT to validate and scale. Testnet launches two days ago, the team scanned ~170 million blocks and reports discovering missing BTC during indexing.
