Bitcoin works best when it keeps things simple—settle transactions, that's it. The heavy lifting, the complex logic? That belongs somewhere else, not cluttering the base layer.
This is exactly what Arch Network does differently. It splits execution from settlement, no messy bridge protocols or wrapped tokens needed. The computation happens off-chain while Bitcoin stays lean and focused on what it does best. Clean separation, zero fragmentation. That's the kind of architecture Web3 infrastructure actually needs.

Indeed, Bitcoin should focus on settlement, and don't make things complicated with other matters.

Hmm... Layered architecture sounds great, but can it really achieve "zero fragmentation"? I'd like to see how it performs in practice.

This layered approach is good, but in reality? On-chain bridging protocols are full of pitfalls. Who dares to truly move large funds off-chain?

Unreliable, separating execution and settlement sounds great, but how to ensure security for off-chain computation? It's just another set of new trust assumptions.

To be honest, Bitcoin should focus on settlement and not try to control everything. The idea of separating the execution layer, as in arch, is indeed refreshing and avoids a mess of bridging protocols.

How many people have truly achieved clean separation with this layered architecture?

How many years have we been talking about architecture separation? The truth is, only a few can really achieve it. If Arch can truly run smoothly, then the Bitcoin ecosystem landscape would indeed change.

That's right. Bitcoin should focus on settlement alone and not be dragged down by all that messy logic.

ngl this is the playbook that actually works... seen too many projects try to bloat btc and it never ends well. arch getting the separation right tho, that's not nothing. off-chain compute while settlement stays pure? *that's* reading between the lines of what bitcoin was always supposed to do.

Alright, another execution layer solution. It sounds good, but it seems like there are countless projects like this.
