Technical and Performance Foundations: A Dimensionality Reduction Strike.At its core, Bitlayer addresses the Bitcoin network's long-standing scalability challenges with a novel 'sidechain + ZK' dual architecture. This approach is not merely an incremental improvement; it's a fundamental shift in how we approach Bitcoin scalability. The innovative 'Proof of Transfer' mechanism is a key differentiator. It ensures robust security by anchoring to the main Bitcoin chain while drastically reducing transaction confirmation times to mere seconds. This technological leap effectively removes the primary barriers to the widespread adoption of applications like DeFi and NFTs within the Bitcoin ecosystem. The data speaks for itself: during its testnet phase, Bitlayer showcased a peak TPS exceeding 10,000, with Gas fees at a fraction (1%) of Ethereum's. This performance advantage gives it a "dimensionality reduction strike" in the fiercely competitive public chain landscape, making it a compelling platform for high-frequency, low-cost transactions.
