📓Further Reading

To deepen your understanding of the technologies used in the Vishwa architecture, we recommend the following readings:

• Zero-Knowledge Proofs (zk-Proofs): Understanding the cryptographic foundation behind our cross-chain interoperability and privacy features. Resources such as zk-SNARKs 101 provide an excellent starting point.

• Bitcoin Layer 1: For those unfamiliar with Bitcoin's inner workings, Learn Me a Bitcoin and Mastering Bitcoin are excellent guides.

• Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLCs): A deep dive into HTLCs and their role in trustless liquidity, particularly for multi-party payment channels. See the paper “HTLC: Protocol for Arbitrary Payments” for a foundational understanding.
