#Bitlayer is the first purpose-built Layer–2 rollup solution for Bitcoin, bringing Turing-complete programmability and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility to Bitcoin while preserving the network’s unmatched security. It’s built on the innovative BitVM paradigm.

Key Highlights

Scalability & Security: Functions as a Bitcoin-native rollup, with Layer-2 state transitions anchored in Bitcoin’s base layer for robust finality.

Smart Contracts & DeFi: Enables complex dApp development—over 280 projects deployed—including DEXes, yield farming, NFT marketplaces, and gaming platforms.

Trust-Minimized Cross-Chain Bridging: Uses BitVM and OP-DLC technology to facilitate secure, decentralized bridging to EVM chains.

Ecosystem Support & Incentives: Launched a $50 million “Ready Player One” incentive program and already amassed over $500 million in total value locked (TVL).

Funding & Growth: Secured $5M in seed funding and $9M in Series A extensions, backed by investors like Polychain Capital, OKX Ventures, Franklin Templeton, Framework Ventures, and more—total funding around $25M.
