BitVM Bridge, as the first mainnet application of BitVM technology @BitlayerLabs , demonstrates strong ecological growth momentum through strategic cooperation with mainstream Layer 1 and mining pools.
Bitlayer has established deep cooperation with leading Layer 1 public chains including Sui, Base, Arbitrum, and Cardano. These partnerships enable seamless cross-chain bridging, allowing users to efficiently transfer BTC to these high-performance chains and unlock new DeFi applications such as lending and liquidity mining.
For example, the integration with Sui introduces Peg-BTC (YBTC), providing high-speed ecological access for BTC holders, with TVL exceeding expectations. At the same time, collaborations with Base and Arbitrum enhance EVM compatibility, supporting more dApp migrations. The inclusion of Cardano further broadens interoperability, connecting chains with different consensus mechanisms.
Regarding mining pools, Bitlayer has formed strategic partnerships with three major BTC mining pools—Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool—whose combined global hash rate accounts for nearly 40% of the total Bitcoin network. Following the cooperation, these partners strengthen the trust minimization of the bridging mechanism, providing a network interface capable of accepting non-standard transactions (NST) and ensuring on-chain confirmations.
These collaborations not only accelerate ecological expansion but also attract over 300 projects, resulting in a surge in TVL and driving the BTCFi market scale.
