Liquid Network: Bitcoin sidechain payments
The Liquid Network is a federated Bitcoin sidechain designed for fast settlement and confidential transactions. DePix runs natively on this network — FlipDepix uses Liquid to settle PIX payments into BRL stablecoin.
What is the Liquid Network
Liquid is a sidechain operated by a federation of functionaries, anchored to Bitcoin. It enables fast transfers (~2 minute blocks) and assets like L-BTC, USDt and DePix.
Confidential Transactions (CT)
Liquid supports confidential transactions: transferred amounts are hidden on-chain from external observers while federation members validate integrity. DePix benefits from this privacy layer.
Liquid Network API via FlipDepix
FlipDepix exposes a REST API to create PIX charges, receive webhook confirmations and settle DePix on-chain. Developers integrate BRL→DePix payments without running Liquid nodes directly.
