🚀 Bitlayer & BitVM — Unleashing Bitcoin’s DeFi Power
Bitcoin’s next great leap has arrived — and it’s called Bitlayer. This groundbreaking Layer-2 solution takes the unmatched security of Bitcoin and fuses it with Ethereum-like smart contract capabilities, all without touching Bitcoin’s base protocol. Powered by the BitVM paradigm, Bitlayer delivers fully Turing-complete contracts, transforming Bitcoin from “digital gold” into a programmable, unstoppable financial engine.
🔥 The BitVM Bridge: Mainnet Milestone
In July 2025, the BitVM Bridge went live — the first active BitVM-based application. It’s a trust-minimized gateway that moves BTC into DeFi without centralized choke points, opening Bitcoin to a universe of yield, trading, and lending.
💎 YBTC — Your Key to Bitcoin DeFi
Lock BTC into BitVM, receive YBTC (1:1 pegged to BTC), and deploy it across Sui, Base, Starknet, Arbitrum, and beyond. Stake it, lend it, trade it — Bitcoin’s liquidity is now borderless.
⚡ Front-and-Reclaim: Speed Meets Security
Need fast liquidity? Third-party providers deliver BTC in ~1 hour, ahead of the standard 7-day window, without breaking security guarantees.
With $550M+ TVL, AWS-powered scalability, and multi-chain reach, Bitlayer is rewriting Bitcoin’s future — where DeFi isn’t just possible, it’s unstoppable.
