Softchains achieve what was once thought impossible: trustless two-way pegged sidechains for Bitcoin.

The downside is having to validate ~100MB per chain per year, but you can offset that burden with a block size decrease.

Consensus risks are perhaps the biggest danger, though it would require a one-year reorg.
