Bitlayer: Redefining the Technological Innovator of Bitcoin Layer 2
As the first Bitcoin-secured 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 hard forks 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 safely participate in DeFi, cross-chain transactions, and other scenarios but also builds an ecosystem aligned with the miner economic model through partnerships with leading mining pools such as Antpool and F2Pool (accounting 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 reached cross-chain collaborations with public chains such as Base and Starknet. The upcoming mainnet V2 version will further unleash its potential, allowing Bitcoin to leap from "digital gold" to a programmable financial infrastructure.
