In the Bitcoin ecosystem, 'secure cross-chain' has been a longstanding problem, either relying on centralized institutions for custody or depending on the honesty of the majority of nodes, until the emergence of @BitlayerLabs BitVM Bridge, which truly broke the deadlock.
As one of the earliest projects to implement mainnet deployment based on BitVM technology, BitVM Bridge has been at the forefront of the industry from the very beginning.
It did not take the traditional route of cross-chain bridges but instead used BitVM's 'trust minimization' mechanism, lowering the security threshold to 'as long as there is one honest node'.
Users can lock BTC on the Bitcoin mainnet to generate 1:1 pegged YBTC, and use it for DeFi on Bitlayer or other chains without trusting any third party, solving the most troublesome 'asset security' issue in cross-chain transactions.
More importantly, it is not just a technical gimmick; it is genuinely implementable. It has already connected with popular chains like Base, Arbitrum, and Sui, allowing users to smoothly transfer BTC into these ecosystems to earn returns, such as staking YBTC on Sui to earn interest, without missing out on the price appreciation of BTC.
