Liquid was conceptualized in 2014 by Adam Back, Andrew Poelstra, and other cypherpunks, making it Bitcoin's first sidechain and federation.
Today, Liquid remains Bitcoin's leading sidechain, providing an advanced toolkit to developers who want to offer easy, confidential payments and innovative financial products on Bitcoin. It also serves as a sandbox for pioneering new Bitcoin technologies, with upgrades like Schnorr signatures, OP_CSV, and SegWit, first coming to life on Liquid.
