    Updated Features of BitVM2

    The new version of BitVM introduces a permissionless system that allows any user to challenge suspicious transactions. This is a departure from the previous version, which limited challenge rights to designated parties.

This marks an important step in enhancing the Bitcoin infrastructure and supporting its further growth and scalability.
