Bitlayer ($BTR): Building the Future of Bitcoin DeFi
Bitlayer is pioneering a secure and scalable infrastructure for Bitcoin-based decentralized finance (BTCFi), combining Bitcoin’s unparalleled security with cutting-edge, low-latency technology to unlock real utility and yield opportunities for BTC holders.
Key innovations include the BitVM Bridge, a trust-minimized BTC bridge enabling Bitcoin to enter DeFi as YBTC—a 1:1 BTC-backed asset generating yield without compromising security. This mainnet-deployed bridge is among the first real-world applications of BitVM technology.
Additionally, Bitlayer is developing a high-performance Bitcoin Rollup leveraging the BitVM stack and a real-time EVM, delivering sub-10ms transaction latency. This supports scalable, low-cost, composable Bitcoin DeFi applications with on-chain finality secured by the Bitcoin network.
The rapidly growing ecosystem includes partnerships with top Layer 1 protocols—Sui, Base, Arbitrum, Cardano—and leading mining pools such as Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool, driving adoption and market positioning.
Backed by $25 million from premier investors like Polychain Capital, Franklin Templeton, Framework Ventures, and ABCDE, Bitlayer has the capital and vision to lead BTCFi mainstream adoption.
Early supporters benefit from the ongoing “Booster” campaign in partnership with Binance Wallet, offering BTR token rewards during Phase 2 and upcoming Pre-TGE opportunities.
For traders and long-term investors, Bitlayer represents a foundational play in the next evolution of Bitcoin DeFi, combining innovative tech, strong partnerships, and clear growth potential.
