Bitlayer Network Bringing Smart Contracts & High-Speed DeFi to Bitcoin
Bitcoin may be the king of crypto, but it wasn’t built for lightning-fast transactions or complex smart contracts. Bitlayer changes that — acting as Bitcoin’s computational Layer 2 and unlocking a whole new world of possibilities.
Unlike centralized sidechains or weaker rollups, Bitlayer blends rollup technology with BitVM, delivering scalable, Turing-complete smart contracts without compromising Bitcoin’s trustless foundation.
How it works:
Dual-Layer Architecture A Proof of Stake layer handles ultra-fast transactions, while the rollup layer locks everything securely to Bitcoin’s blockchain.
Soft Finality – Near-instant confirmations for smooth DeFi, gaming, and trading experiences.
Hard Finality – Bitcoin-level security with final settlement in about 7 days.
Trustless Security – Fraud proofs and BTC collateral mean just one honest participant can keep the entire network secure.
By tapping into Bitcoin’s massive dormant liquidity, Bitlayer could power the next wave of DeFi, gaming, and Web3 — all secured by the most trusted consensus in crypto. If you believe Bitcoin should do more than sit in cold storage, Bitlayer might just be the upgrade it’s been waiting for.
