BTX in plain English.
BTX describes itself as a post-quantum AI blockchain: a computational settlement system using MatMul proof-of-work, post-quantum signatures, shielded settlement concepts, and service challenges.
MatMul proof-of-work.
BTX’s official specification describes a proof-of-work system based on finite-field matrix multiplication, transcript compression, Freivalds verification, and DoS mitigation. For a liquidity site, that matters because mining economics and compute operators may influence early supply.
Post-quantum signature path.
The official docs cite ML-DSA and SLH-DSA post-quantum signature algorithms, P2MR output construction, Merkle-tree spend paths, and address/key-generation details. BTXOTC references those claims but does not replace the protocol documentation.
Shielded and layered settlement.
BTX docs describe SMILE v2 shielded settlement, bridge settlement, selective disclosure, and account registry concepts. OTC participants should distinguish technical settlement features from off-chain counterparty promises.
