#Bitlayer $BTR @BitlayerLabs
Bitlayer is creating a new way for Bitcoin to work in decentralized finance (DeFi). It uses smart contracts powered by BitVM and a hybrid system of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) plus rollups, all while staying connected to Bitcoin’s strong security. The goal is to make Bitcoin faster, easier to use, and able to move into lending, trading, and yield farming across multiple blockchains.
