Liquid Network is a Bitcoin sidechain developed by Blockstream that enables faster and more confidential Bitcoin transactions. It uses a federated consensus model with a network of functionally independent entities called functionaries. Liquid supports Confidential Transactions that hide amounts and asset types, faster 2-minute block times compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes, and the issuance of tokenized assets including stablecoins and security tokens via L-BTC (Liquid Bitcoin). The network is primarily used by traders, exchanges, and businesses requiring fast, private settlements.
