On November 15th, the Bitcoin Contracting Primitives working group held their first meeting to discuss various covenant interests, including state channels, universal settlement layer, transaction introspection covenants, vaults/self-custody, MATT covenants, logical label covenant, congestion control, and DLC. The goal of the process is to address misunderstandings, coordinate around goals, highlight consensus building, and help achieve covenant-style upgrades. The next meeting will focus on archiving all known consistent contracting primitives and protocols. Meetings will be held every month on the 3rd Tuesday, and logs are available on GitHub for reference. Antoine Riard proposed the date and time for the first meeting, which took place on November 15th at 18:00 UTC. The communication venue is #bitcoin-contracting-primitives-wg on Libera Chat. Attendees are encouraged to share their expectations, ideas, and subjects of interest related to the R&D process. Those working on contracting protocols or other use-cases can open an issue on GitHub. Efforts will be made to have a schedule inclusive of most time zones, and alternative communication formats such as jitsi/audio-based meetings are being considered. In addition, a message was sent to Bitcoin developers regarding the upcoming session on November 15th. The topics for discussion include anyprevout, recursive covenants, introspection, new malleability flags, ZK rollups, new contracting protocols, and other ideas. The sender suggests adding CTV: BIP-119 OP_CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY to the discussion. The meeting will take place at 18:00 UTC and will have a monthly frequency.
