Bitlayer Network: Enabling Smart Contracts and Fast DeFi on Bitcoin
Bitcoin reigns as the top cryptocurrency, but it wasn’t designed for speed or advanced smart contracts. That’s where Bitlayer comes in serving as Bitcoin’s computational Layer 2 solution.
Unlike centralized sidechains or less secure rollups, Bitlayer combines rollup technology with BitVM to deliver scalable, Turing-complete smart contracts on Bitcoin without compromising its trustless foundation.
Here’s how it works:
Dual-Layer Architecture A Proof-of-Stake layer enables ultra-fast transactions, while a rollup layer anchors all changes securely to Bitcoin’s blockchain.
Soft Finality Provides near-instant confirmation for smooth DeFi, gaming, and trading experiences.
Hard Finality Final settlement on Bitcoin occurs in about 7 days, ensuring Bitcoin-level security.
Trustless Security Fraud proofs and BTC collateral guarantee that just one honest participant keeps the network secure.
Bitlayer could unlock the massive idle Bitcoin liquidity, bringing it into DeFi, gaming, and Web3 apps all secured by Bitcoin’s consensus. If you think Bitcoin should do more than just sit in wallets, Bitlayer may be the upgrade it needs.
