[bitcoin-dev] Liquid

Hello all, I was very surprised to learn that Blockstream will implement Sidechains for exchanges [1], [2] and has been working on this privately. Can somebody explain this “announcement”? Just a few comments on this “proposal”. “This new construction establishes a security profile inherently
