#Bitlayer @BitlayerLabs Bitlayer is a Bitcoin Layer 2 scaling solution designed to enhance the Bitcoin ecosystem with smart contract capabilities and faster transaction speeds. By leveraging technologies like BitVM and Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Bitlayer creates a Turing-complete computational layer on top of the Bitcoin network. This allows developers to build and deploy complex applications, including decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, while inheriting Bitcoin's core security and decentralization principles.

Bitlayer operates a rollup architecture, processing transactions off the main chain to reduce congestion and fees. Transactions are then batched and settled on the Bitcoin mainnet, ensuring finality and security. This approach makes Bitcoin more scalable and functional, supporting a wider range of applications and use cases beyond simple payments.
