Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold anymore — it’s getting an upgrade. Bitlayer has officially launched its BitVM Bridge on mainnet, marking one of the first real-world uses of BitVM tech.
For years, Bitcoin lacked the scalability and smart contract flexibility other blockchains enjoyed. The BitVM Bridge changes that — enabling faster, cheaper transactions and seamless cross-chain connections without compromising Bitcoin’s rock-solid security.
This breakthrough opens doors for:
Bitcoin-native DeFi platforms
Cross-chain NFT marketplaces
Next-gen payment systems
Bitlayer’s achievement puts it at the forefront of the Bitcoin Layer 2 race — much like how rollups transformed Ethereum. With the bridge live, the future of a truly connected Bitcoin ecosystem has just begun.
