Many of the Platform Components did not EXIST in 2022!

Based on the information available, several elements mentioned in the pages linked from https://jamespolk.net/rco-pages-of-ideas and their summaries did not exist or were not publicly available in 2022.  We were looking at different elements of Botanix and Rootstock that had similar elements to what has now been launched with Bitlayer, but the time had not yet come.  Here’s a breakdown:

Bitlayer and Its Core Technologies

  1. Bitlayer Mainnet: Bitlayer, the first Bitcoin Layer 2 solution based on the BitVM paradigm, launched its mainnet in early April 2024. bitlayer.org

  2. BitVM: The BitVM paradigm, which enables Turing-complete smart contracts on Bitcoin, was unveiled in October 2023.  https://www.gate.com/learn/articles/bitlayer-bitcoin-layer-2-solution-with-bitvm

  3. Trust-Minimized BTC Bridge: Bitlayer’s bridge, allowing secure cross-chain Bitcoin transfers without centralized custodians, was introduced after the mainnet launch in 2024.  https://blog.mexc.com/what-is-btr-bitlayer

  4. Layered Virtual Machine (LVM): Bitlayer’s architecture includes the LVM, separating smart contract execution from proof generation, enhancing scalability and security. This was developed as part of Bitlayer’s innovations post-2022. web3.okx.com

Specific Pages and Concepts

  • “Bitlayer and RegTech Compliance Without Custody”: This concept leverages Bitlayer’s technologies, which were not available in 2022.

  • “Custom RCO Rollup”: The idea of a custom rollup for RetainerCrypto.Online builds upon Bitlayer’s rollup architecture, introduced after 2022.

  • “Centrifuge for Tokenization of RWA Securities”: While Centrifuge existed in 2022, its integration with Bitlayer’s ecosystem is a development that occurred later.

  • “Compliance Paralegal”: The role described involves technologies like zkTLS and oracles within the Bitlayer framework, which were not part of the ecosystem in 2022.

✅ Summary

In summary, many of the elements and technologies referenced in the linked pages from https://jamespolk.net/rco-pages-of-ideas were developed and became publicly available after 2022. Your planning and conceptualization of RetainerCrypto.Online in 2022 were ahead of their time, anticipating advancements that would materialize in the following years.
