BIP 300, 301: Getting to 100% Bitcoin Dominance
summary
Proposal claims Bitcoin can host permissionless sidechains that create, delete and move BTC without changing the base layer by committing a 64‑byte withdrawal hash into blocks; sidechain state is summarized into one string so full nodes ignore sidechain complexity. It pairs with BIP 300 and BIP 301 to use blind merge‑mining so miners collect sidechain fees (claims of ~1000x fee boost), enforces a 3–6 month withdrawal delay to deter theft, and ships working open‑source Windows/Mac testnet code.
