#Bitlayer is redefining what’s possible with Bitcoin by becoming the first modular Layer 2 built on BitVM, delivering security, scalability, and decentralization without compromise. It’s designed to secure assets with native BTC while enabling smart contracts, DeFi, and next-gen applications — all without sacrificing Bitcoin’s core principles.
💡 Key Highlights
Bitcoin-Level Security: Bitlayer inherits BTC’s security model through BitVM-based verification, ensuring your assets remain as safe as on the Bitcoin mainnet.
Modular Design: Separate execution and settlement layers for maximum flexibility, scalability, and efficiency.
Full EVM Compatibility: Developers can deploy Ethereum-based smart contracts directly, tapping into existing DeFi ecosystems while leveraging BTC liquidity.
Low Fees & High Speed: Handles thousands of TPS with minimal transaction costs, making DeFi on Bitcoin finally practical.
Trustless BTC Bridging: Native BTC assets can be transferred to and from Bitlayer without relying on centralized custodians.
🔍 Core Features
1. BitVM Integration – Enables off-chain computation verified on-chain for scalable smart contract execution.
2. Native BTC Collateral – Unlocks BTC’s capital for lending, borrowing, and liquidity provision.
3. Cross-Chain Connectivity – Seamlessly connect with Ethereum, Solana, and other major chains.
4. Developer-Friendly – Full toolset for Solidity and Bitcoin script developers.
5. Modular Upgrades – Future-proof infrastructure to integrate ZK proofs, rollups, and new VM tech.
🌐 Why Bitlayer Matters
Bitcoin has been a powerhouse of value storage, but lacked programmability. Bitlayer changes that — bringing DeFi, NFTs, and scalable dApps directly to Bitcoin without sacrificing trustlessness. It’s the bridge between Bitcoin’s security and Ethereum’s innovation.
With Bitlayer, Bitcoin is no longer just digital gold — it becomes the foundation for a new decentralized financial ecosystem.
