Bitlayer – Powering Bitcoin’s Next Frontier
What is Bitlayer?
Bitlayer is a groundbreaking Bitcoin Layer 2 built on the BitVM paradigm—the first Turing-complete, Bitcoin-secured Layer 2. It merges Bitcoin’s unmatched security with the flexibility of smart contracts, enabling developers to deploy Ethereum-style applications directly on Bitcoin.
Why It Matters
• Bitcoin Security + Smart Contracts – Build advanced dApps without leaving Bitcoin’s security umbrella.
• Speed & Scale – Targeting up to 20,000 TPS and 3-second confirmations by late 2025.
Fueling Growth – “Ready Player One” Program
To supercharge adoption, Bitlayer launched a $50M incentive program for developers to build on its mainnet.
By May 2024, over 800 projects had joined—spanning DeFi, NFTs, infrastructure, GameFi, SocialFi, wallets, and more. The program features community voting, leaderboards, accelerators, and rewards up to $3M per project.
