#Bitlayer | $LAYER | @BitlayerOfficial
Bitlayer is unlocking Bitcoin’s untapped liquidity by combining BitVM-powered smart contracts with a PoS + Rollup hybrid architecture anchored to Bitcoin’s security. Its mission is to enable trust-minimized, high-speed, multi-chain Bitcoin DeFi bridging BTC seamlessly into lending, trading, and yield farming across the Web3 ecosystem.

$LAYER Token Utility
• Governance: Vote on protocol upgrades and ecosystem initiatives.
• Staking & Delegation: Secure the network and earn rewards.
• Fee Payments: Pay for bridging, settlements, and DeFi services.
• Ecosystem Incentives: Airdrops, liquidity mining, and developer grants.
• Portion of protocol fees used for buyback & burn.
Recent Campaigns
• BitVM Bridge Mainnet Launch Trust-minimized BTC bridging across multiple chains.
• Solidity-to-BitVM Dev Program Grants and tooling for cross-chain smart contract deployment.
• Solayer Valley-style Incentives Early adopter rewards for stakers, validators, and liquidity providers.
Why Bitlayer Stands Out
First-Mover in BitVM DeFi: Bringing programmable smart contracts to Bitcoin without altering its protocol.
Trust-Minimized Liquidity: No centralized custodian like WBTC fully verifiable bridging.
Institutional & Retail Ready: Backed by major funds, integrated with key wallets and L1s.
Scalable & Secure: Bitcoin security plus rollup speed for real-world DeFi use.
Proven Growth: Rapid TVL increase, strong ecosystem adoption, and multi-chain expansion.
Bitlayer isn’t just scaling Bitcoin it’s building the financial infrastructure for Bitcoin-native DeFi at global scale.
