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 combines Bitcoin’s unmatched security with the flexibility of smart contracts, giving developers the power to build Ethereum-style applications directly on Bitcoin.
Why It Matters
• Bitcoin-Level Security + Smart Contracts: Deploy advanced dApps while relying on Bitcoin’s proven consensus.
• Scalability & Speed: Targeting up to 20,000 TPS and 3-second confirmations by late 2025.
