💡Threadlocks: One-Time Commitments with Bitcoin and Nostr
What if you could make a promise, cryptographically bind it to Bitcoin, and close it forever with one action — all while broadcasting its intent through Nostr?
🧪 Use Cases
Threadlocks enable:
✅ One-time claims ("I minted this", "I voted")
🔐 Access control (only those with unspent Threadlocks can act)
🗳️ DAO governance (commit → vote → finalize)
🎮 Game state progression (quests, puzzles, unlocks)
🧾 Credential issuance (proof of training, rights, NFTs)
