#Bitlayer is redefining whatโs possible with Bitcoin by becoming the first modular Layer 2 built on BitVM, delivering security, scalability, and decentralization without compromise. Itโs designed to secure assets with native BTC while enabling smart contracts, DeFi, and next-gen applications โ all without sacrificing Bitcoinโs core principles.
๐ก Key Highlights
Bitcoin-Level Security: Bitlayer inherits BTCโs security model through BitVM-based verification, ensuring your assets remain as safe as on the Bitcoin mainnet.
Modular Design: Separate execution and settlement layers for maximum flexibility, scalability, and efficiency.
Full EVM Compatibility: Developers can deploy Ethereum-based smart contracts directly, tapping into existing DeFi ecosystems while leveraging BTC liquidity.
Low Fees & High Speed: Handles thousands of TPS with minimal transaction costs, making DeFi on Bitcoin finally practical.
Trustless BTC Bridging: Native BTC assets can be transferred to and from Bitlayer without relying on centralized custodians.
๐ Core Features
1. BitVM Integration โ Enables off-chain computation verified on-chain for scalable smart contract execution.
2. Native BTC Collateral โ Unlocks BTCโs capital for lending, borrowing, and liquidity provision.
3. Cross-Chain Connectivity โ Seamlessly connect with Ethereum, Solana, and other major chains.
4. Developer-Friendly โ Full toolset for Solidity and Bitcoin script developers.
5. Modular Upgrades โ Future-proof infrastructure to integrate ZK proofs, rollups, and new VM tech.
๐ Why Bitlayer Matters
Bitcoin has been a powerhouse of value storage, but lacked programmability. Bitlayer changes that โ bringing DeFi, NFTs, and scalable dApps directly to Bitcoin without sacrificing trustlessness. Itโs the bridge between Bitcoinโs security and Ethereumโs innovation.
With Bitlayer, Bitcoin is no longer just digital gold โ it becomes the foundation for a new decentralized financial ecosystem.
