Blind Merged Mining
BIP-301 lets existing miners secure the chain with no extra effort.
Through BIP-301 blind merged mining, Bitcoin miners can secure RISCy Network without running sidechain-specific software or performing any additional proof-of-work. They commit to sidechain blocks as part of their existing mining.
This aligns incentives with the chain that already has the most hashrate, and removes the need for a separate staking token or a bespoke validator economy to defend the network.
Why it matters
- ▸ Reuses existing hashrate with zero additional mining work.
- ▸ No separate security token to issue or defend.
- ▸ Incentives aligned with established miners.
- ▸ Decentralized security from day one.
