char if we were villainmaxxing
summary
Char Network is a bitcoin-native sequencer producing a verifiable log of pre-commits for validium rollups, using funds locked in timelocked outputs and a signature committee via purify deterministic k-of-n (musigD-style) to punish double-signers; code is imminent on GitHub. The hypothetical villain plan sequences Bitcoin with a six block lag, then shrinks to one while incentivizing pre-commit segments, drives miner fee collapse to zero difficulty, and upgrades base transactions with cut-through, post‑quantum signatures and zk‑STARK witness compression.
