Bitcoin and Layer Two: The Challenges
Bitcoin, being the most secure and decentralized blockchain network, suffers from inherent limitations that hinder its scalability and programmability. Bitlayer aims to address these challenges while preserving Bitcoin's core principles.
Limits of Bitcoin
Low throughput and high costs: The Bitcoin base layer is designed for security and decentralization, but this comes at the expense of limited transaction capacity and high fees.
Lack of programmability: Bitcoin does not natively support smart contracts, limiting its ability to host complex decentralized applications.
No trustless BTC bridge: There is no native mechanism for trustless interoperability between Bitcoin and other blockchain systems.
