About

LX Research is a research and media company (ahem, bloggers) focused on the Bitcoin scaling space. Like many of you, we're trying to figure out what is actually going on.

We're currently building Bitcoin Layers, a free and open source project that analyzes Bitcoin L2 and sidechain implementations.

Soon, we'll be offering other products and subscription services. Stay tuned for more announcements.

Bitcoin Layers

Our first product, Bitcoin Layers, does risk assessments on Bitcoin L2 and sidechain implementations. The goal of the site is to provide high level overiews of the trust assumptions users take on when using a Bitcoin scaling protocol.

The project is open-source under the MIT License.
