Overview
• Bitlayer is a Bitcoin-native layer-2 protocol that adds EVM-based smart contract capabilities using BitVM and LVM, offering scalability and programmability without sacrificing decentralization.
• Secured by early mining pool support, it’s poised for high availability and reliability.
Core Offerings
• Smart Contract Execution: Deploy Solidity-based apps just as you would on Ethereum, directly within a Bitcoin-anchored environment.
• Optimistic-ZK Hybrid Settlement: Off-chain execution paired with fraud-proof and zk-verification creates secure, high-throughput execution.
• Trustless Asset Bridge: Transfer BTC or wrapped assets to EVM chains (like Base, Arbitrum, Starknet) via a provable, decentralized mechanism.
Technical Edge
• Modular LVM Architecture supports multiple virtual machine paradigms, adapting to developer preferences and optimizing performance.
• Chainlink CCIP Integration means Bitlayer apps can leverage secure cross-chain logic, token transfers, and oracle data.
• Developer-Friendly Nodes: Chainstack now offers dedicated, managed nodes, ensuring fast deployment and enterprise-ready infrastructure.
Business Impact
• Positions Bitcoin as a foundation for DeFi, gaming, and institutional-grade dApps—enabling richer use cases than ever before.
• Empowers developers to port existing applications effortlessly from Ethereum, capturing wider audiences.
• Paves the way for robust Bitcoin-backed financial products—yield, lending, derivatives, and more—all within a trust-minimized layer.
Why It Matters
• Bitlayer bridges cryptographic innovation with Bitcoin-level security for real-world applications.
• Enables mission-critical, scalable app development directly on Bitcoin, elevating ecosystem potential.
• Offers forward-looking infrastructure—secure, developer-friendly, and richly integrated.
