The Second Renaissance of ecash by Calle.
The revival of ecash is unlocking a new frontier for digital payments, driving innovation across the Bitcoin ecosystem. In this talk, I will explore the pioneering work being done by developers building applications with this technology. We will examine the cryptosystem behind the Cashu protocol and discuss potential improvements, paving the way for more advanced Chaumian ecash systems in the future.

Replace by Fee-Rate by Peter Todd. Transaction pinning is potential threat to many multi-party protocols such as lightning. Yet it's also an economic exploit: miners are leaving money on the table. Here we'll look at replace-by-fee-rate, an incentives-based solution to pinning that both fixes the problem, and earns miners more money.

Simple Layer Twos by Christian Lewe. Watch now https://youtu.be/yPkGjpvofNM
Christian Lewe of Blockstream Research (clewe) presents on: Simplicity is a proposed overhaul of the scripting language of Bitcoin. It fundamentally changes what can be done on layer one, but it does not stop there. Given what was possible with the existing scripts so far, imagine the explosion of ideas that Simplicity would enable. In this talk, we explore some of those applications, including Validity rollups and Fedimint accounts.

The Great Script Restoration Project by Rusty Russell @rusty_twit. This presentation was recorded in May 2024 in Austin, TX during bitcoin++ script edition.
You're probably aware that v0.3.1 of Bitcoin disabled numerous Script opcodes, most famously OP_CAT. Bringing them back unlocks a great deal of power, and there are a few additional opcodes that complement them well in a modern Bitcoin system (such as key addition). This talk aims to present a coherent model for making Bitcoin Script as capable as I think it can be, while avoiding the pitfalls which caused it to be hobbled in the first place.
