Odaily News Xiaohui Liu, head of the technical department of Bitcoin sidechain MVC (MicrovisionChain) and founder of sCrypt, announced at X that the following three aspects will be implemented in the next six months: 1. Fully enable OP_CAT opcode: As a Bitcoin sidechain, MVC will use OP_CAT opcode to support Layer-1 smart contracts, enabling developers to build Turing-complete decentralized applications (DApps) under the UTXO model. This feature will make MVC a real-time testing platform for major new features of Bitcoin in the future. 2. SegWit integration: The introduction of SegWit will improve transaction processing efficiency, reduce transaction fees, and optimize the execution of smart contracts to ensure higher transaction throughput and security. 3. Merged mining research: MVC will merge mining with Bitcoin, relying on the security and computing power of the Bitcoin network to further strengthen the decentralized security model and attract more miners to participate.
