Bitlayer is making Bitcoin smarter.

It adds trust minimized smart contract features to BTC through BitVM a tech that lets BTC flow into DeFi without centralized custody.

How it works:

BitVM Bridge locks your BTC on Bitcoin, mints YBTC on other chains, and uses an optimistic challenge system to keep things honest.

YBTC tokens come in variants for different use cases from gas payments to cross-chain swaps.

Partnerships with top mining pools mean the bridge’s dispute system actually works on Bitcoin mainnet.

Future plans: a Bitcoin anchored rollup network (V2/V3) for high speed L2 apps.

Backed by major investors, audited for safety, and already integrated with Base, Arbitrum, Sui, Starknet, and more Bitlayer’s goal is to make BTC a first-class citizen in DeFi.#Bitlayer @BitlayerLabs
