Janusz, writing for btc++ insider edition, examines Citrea’s architecture in the context of of recent mempool debate to clarify misconceptions about Bitcoin rollups. He stresses that “Bitcoin does not enforce rollup state transitions and rollups do not inherit Bitcoin’s double spend resistance,” underscoring that these systems are alternative blockchains using Bitcoin for data availability. Citrea’s design relies on sequencers to order transactions, state commitments anchored to Bitcoin, and SNARK-based proofs to bolster bridge security. By offloading settlement to rollup full nodes, Citrea aims to provide robust finality without bootstrapping a separate consensus set. Janusz argues that Bitcoin rollups could become the most trust-minimized side systems, enabling stronger bridges and potentially self-proposed exits. While acknowledging practical limitations, he highlights the strategic benefit: by anchoring to the “forever chain,” rollups inherit Bitcoin’s unmatched data persistence, offering developers a resilient foundation for more expressive applications.

River’s 2025 business adoption report by Sam Baker and Vincent Lee finds private-sector uptake surging off 2024’s groundwork in accounting clarity, regulation, and ETFs. Companies are the “primary force” in demand: in the first eight months of 2025, inflows to corporate balance sheets topped 2024 by $12.5B, and businesses collectively hold over 6% of supply (≈1.30M BTC). Bitcoin treasury companies drove 76% of purchases since January 2024 and account for 60% of disclosed holdings; yet conventional firms span every sector. River’s survey shows firms allocate a mean 22% (median 10%) of net income to bitcoin; 74.3% use third-party custody, 18.1% a mix, 7.6% self-custody. Looking ahead, adoption barriers are mostly perceptual: with GAAP updates, liquidity, and declining volatility, River expects treasuries to follow. As the report puts it, “Bitcoin adoption in the private sector has reached unprecedented levels in 2025.”

Ars Technica reports that three mis-issued TLS certificates for Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS service surfaced this week, months after being generated by Fina RDC 2020, a Microsoft-trusted certificate authority. Experts warn that “attackers with possession of the 1.1.1.1 certificates could decrypt, view, and tamper with traffic,” creating adversary-in-the-middle risks, according to Ryan Hurst of Peculiar Ventures. Cloudflare confirmed it never authorized the issuance and called the certificate authority system “a castle with many doors: the failure of one CA can cause the security of the whole castle to be compromised.” Microsoft said it is revoking trust and blocking the certificates, while Google and Mozilla clarified their browsers never trusted them. The incident highlights both systemic weaknesses in public key infrastructure and lapses in monitoring transparency logs, underscoring the fragility of internet trust frameworks.

Benj Edwards reports that Tencent has released HunyuanWorld-Voyager, an open-weights AI model that converts a single photo into steerable, 3D-consistent video sequences. By generating both RGB frames and depth maps, Voyager enables reconstruction into point clouds, allowing users to “explore” scenes with simulated camera movement. The system leverages a memory-efficient “world cache” for geometric consistency and scored 77.62 on Stanford’s WorldScore benchmark, outperforming rivals like WonderWorld. However, outputs are limited to short clips, require 60–80GB of GPU memory, and struggle with long rotations due to accumulated errors. While not yet suitable for gaming, Voyager targets video production and 3D reconstruction workflows, joining models like Google’s Genie 3 and Dynamics Lab’s Mirage 2. Tencent published the model on Hugging Face but restricted licensing in the EU, UK, and South Korea. Edwards notes these early tools mark “very early steps into a new interactive, generative art form.”
