Bitlayer Labs: Innovators of Layer 2 in the Bitcoin Ecosystem and Promoters of BitVM Technology
Bitlayer Labs is a highly regarded Layer 2 project in the Bitcoin ecosystem, dedicated to enhancing Bitcoin's programmability through BitVM (Bitcoin Virtual Machine) technology while maintaining its security. The project was co-founded by Charlie Hu and Kevin He, who have held core roles in well-known blockchain projects such as Polygon, Polkadot, and Huobi, and possess rich industry experience.
1. Core Technology and Innovation of Bitlayer
The core of Bitlayer is the BitVM Bridge, a trust-minimized cross-chain bridge that allows Bitcoin assets to safely enter Layer 2 and other blockchain ecosystems (such as Sui, Arbitrum, Base, etc.). Unlike traditional multi-signature bridges, the BitVM Bridge only requires one honest node to ensure security, significantly reducing trust risk.
