    Our initial protocol assessment on @coreDAO is complete. In relation to #Bitcoin, Core is a sidechain with an enshrined #BTC bridge. Its validators participate in a novel consensus mechanism, Satoshi Plus. #BTC users trust these validators when interacting with Core.

    Our initial review of the Internet Computer Protocol is complete. ICP is a network of subnet blockchains. Its relationship with #Bitcoin is that of a sidechain. Users trust the operators of a specific subnet when minting and burning ckBTC tokens, a bitcoin-backed synthetic.
