Experimental Bitcoin tools and protocol proposals

What Is Ghost Labs

Ghost Labs is the experimental wing of Bitcoin Ghost. This is where we build, test, and propose new ideas for the Bitcoin protocol. Every project starts as a prototype, gets tested on signet, and graduates to a formal BIP proposal if the design holds up.

Labs projects are working code, not whitepapers. Each one ships with documentation, test suites, and tooling you can run yourself.

Projects

Ladder Script
Active — Signet Testing
A typed, structured transaction format for Bitcoin that replaces opcode-based scripting with a declarative block model. 53 block types across 9 families cover signatures, timelocks, hashes, covenants, recursion, anchors, programmable logic controllers, compound patterns, and governance constraints. Every byte in a witness is typed. Evaluation is deterministic with bounded execution time. Native post-quantum support and covenant recursion included.
TX Version: 4
Block Types: 53
Unit Tests: 288
Functional Tests: 117

How Labs Works

Every Labs project follows the same pipeline from idea to formal proposal.

1

Research & Prototype

Design the system, write a reference implementation in ghost-core, and build comprehensive test coverage. Ship documentation alongside code.

2

Signet Testing

Deploy to Bitcoin signet for real-world testing. Build interactive tools so anyone can construct, inspect, and broadcast test transactions.

3

BIP Proposal

Write the formal Bitcoin Improvement Proposal with specification, rationale, security analysis, test vectors, and reference implementation.
