New Bitcoin protocol enables private two-player Texas Hold’em poker off-chain without upgrades

A new Bitcoin poker protocol designed by Robin Linus allows two-player Texas Hold’em games to be played privately off-chain using existing Bitcoin features like Taproot and adaptor signatures. The system generates private cards and community cards without shuffling a full deck, and uses prepared transaction trees to enforce legal moves and payouts, relying on the blockchain mainly for dispute resolution. This approach enhances privacy and scalability by avoiding on-chain moves for every action, though it currently supports only two players to prevent collusion. The protocol is still under review for security and does not yet have a formal proof of its malicious-party resistance.

The Bitcoin poker protocol revisiting early code is the subject here, with Pluang market data providing context.
