#Bitlaye @BitlayerLabs BitLayer is a Layer2 public chain based on Bitcoin.
It is the first Layer2 network to use Bitcoin as the settlement and consensus layer, aiming to address the trade-off between security and Turing completeness in Bitcoin's second-layer technology.
The core features of BitLayer include:
Bitcoin security equivalence: provides security equivalent to Bitcoin.
Turing completeness: supports the execution of any possible computation or program.
EVM compatibility: by implementing BitVM compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), it allows developers to write and execute complex smart contracts on Bitcoin.
Cross-chain interoperability: supports asset transfers between Bitcoin and Layer2 networks, facilitating more efficient transactions.
The main application scenarios of BitLayer include:
DeFi applications: such as lending protocols and re-staking protocols.
Smart contract execution: supports complex smart contract functionalities.
High throughput transaction processing: provides efficient transaction processing capabilities.
Through these features and applications, BitLayer aims to combine Bitcoin's security with Ethereum's programmability, driving the development of Bitcoin in a broader range of application areas.
