Technical & Performance Foundations — Redefining Bitcoin Scalability
Bitlayer tackles Bitcoin’s scalability limitations with a bold dual-layer strategy: integrating a sidechain with zero-knowledge (ZK) technology to completely reimagine, not just refine, Bitcoin’s scaling potential. At the heart of this system is Proof of Transfer, which secures transactions by anchoring them to Bitcoin while cutting confirmation times to just seconds. This combination removes key hurdles to bringing DeFi, NFTs, and other on-chain innovations to the Bitcoin network.
Testnet results are remarkable — surpassing 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) and achieving gas fees at roughly 1% of Ethereum’s, showcasing a major efficiency advantage. This “dimensionality reduction” in both cost and speed positions Bitlayer with a powerful edge in the public blockchain arena. For ultra-fast, low-cost applications, Bitlayer stands out as a reliable and technically advanced platform with the potential to greatly expand Bitcoin’s use beyond its traditional role as a store of value. @BitlayerLabs #Bitlayer
