Esteemed Bitcoin Developers,

Sharing below an approach to implementing Bitcoin covenants without 
requiring native protocol changes. The approach uses covenant emulators 
signing servers.

Unlike approaches to date for covenant emulation, the oracle signers put up 
bonds to BitVM auditors subject to a BITVM style fraud proof, whereby their 
funds can be stolen if the emulator oracle ever signs a transaction in 
violation of the covenant rules.
you can find the paper here:

Regards,

Jeremy
