Have you heard? BTC can really run DeFi on-chain this time, and you can also earn Alpha Points to claim Bitlayer's tokens!
Yesterday afternoon, while browsing the Binance Wallet homepage, the first thing I saw was the launch of the Bitlayer Booster Event, and I was so envious that I almost took the wrong account to claim the reward. The event requires that starting from July 24, as long as you are a Keyless wallet user and have reached 61 Alpha Points, you can participate in the task and share 30 million BTR! Remember, 3% of the total amount is really not a small deal. Not only can you complete tasks to get airdrops, but there is also a chance to subscribe to 20 million BTR in advance using BNB, priced at just 0.02 dollars per token, which has a low threshold that’s almost like grabbing an order. 
Alright, there’s more interesting stuff. I looked into the Bitlayer project itself: it is the first Rollup Layer-2 on Bitcoin, using a BitVM+Rollup architecture. Here you can write Solidity contracts, run them on the BTC chain, and also recursively verify back to the main chain, enjoying the security of Bitcoin while being EVM compatible. The key point is that its BitVM Bridge is a cross-chain bridge with very low trust requirements; users can lock BTC and receive an equivalent amount of YBTC to play around with DeFi on Layer-2 without needing a centralized bridge for custody. 
What does this mean? Simply put, BTC is no longer just the "old laborer that can only sit in a wallet and appreciate in value"; it can now engage in liquidity mining, lending, DEX trading, and even NFT game interactions, all running on the Bitcoin base layer, almost like giving BTC a turbo engine, granting it new life. Compared to the various Rollups on ETH fighting for attention, Bitlayer is not just about generating hype; it is actually empowering the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. #bitlayer @BitlayerLabs
