Bitlayer is transforming Bitcoin’s future by introducing a trust-minimized BitVM Bridge

A yield-generating token (YBTC), and a high-speed Bitcoin Rollup designed to enable comprehensive DeFi capabilities on Bitcoin. Leveraging Bitcoin’s robust security, Bitlayer delivers genuine utility, rapid performance, and composability for both developers and users.

The BitVM Bridge Mainnet is now live, allowing secure and trust-minimized transfers of Bitcoin into programmable environments. YBTC, fully backed by BTC, facilitates staking, lending, borrowing, and liquidity provisioning within a DeFi ecosystem secured by Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work consensus.

The Bitlayer Network V2 whitepaper outlines innovations like sub-second transaction finality, decentralized sequencing, and a safety escape hatch that protects users if the Layer 2 network experiences issues. Looking forward, Bitlayer V3 aims to introduce a high-performance native trading engine, parallel transaction execution, horizontal scalability, and a user experience comparable to centralized exchanges, featuring ultra-low latency and full composability.

With integrations across multiple ecosystems including Sui, Arbitrum, Base, Cardano, Starknet, Sonic SVM, Plume, and support from major mining pools such as Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool, Bitlayer is establishing a secure, scalable, and open DeFi infrastructure on Bitcoin. This marks not just innovation, but the beginning of programmable Bitcoin.@BitlayerLabs #Bitlayer
