Bitlayer: Redefining Bitcoin Layer 2 as a Technological Innovator
As the first Bitcoin secure equivalent Layer 2 solution based on the BitVM paradigm, Bitlayer is breaking the scalability bottleneck of the Bitcoin ecosystem through innovative technological architecture. Its core advantage lies in the use of a hybrid proof mechanism (zero-knowledge proof + optimistic fraud proof), achieving Turing-complete smart contract functionality and thousands of transactions per second without the need for a hard fork of the Bitcoin mainnet.
Unlike traditional sidechain solutions, Bitlayer anchors transaction data to the Bitcoin blockchain through recursive proof compression technology, ensuring asset security and equivalence with the main chain. This architecture not only allows Bitcoin holders to securely participate in DeFi, cross-chain transactions, and other scenarios but also builds an ecosystem aligned with the miner economic model through collaborations with leading mining pools like Antpool and F2Pool (which account for 38% of Bitcoin's total hash rate).
As of August 2025, Bitlayer has processed over $15 million in fees, supported the deployment of over 200 projects, and established cross-chain collaborations with public chains such as Base and Starknet. The upcoming mainnet V2 version will further unlock its potential, enabling Bitcoin to leap from "digital gold" to programmable financial infrastructure.
