In the field of cryptocurrency, every technological breakthrough has the potential to reshape the industry landscape. When Bitcoin faced challenges of scalability and programmability, Bitlayer emerged like a dark horse, bringing a new transformation to the Bitcoin ecosystem, revealing more possibilities for Bitcoin.
As the first EVM-compatible Layer 2 Rollup solution for Bitcoin, Bitlayer perfectly integrates Bitcoin's unparalleled security with Ethereum's programmability. Built on the groundbreaking BitVM paradigm, it addresses the long-standing issues faced by Bitcoin through an innovative technological architecture. It employs the Discreet Log Contract (DLC) framework to achieve a trustless bidirectional cross-chain bridge, develops the OpVM verification solution, and combines fraud proofs (BitVM) with validity proofs (based on OP_CAT), allowing Bitcoin Layer 1 to verify arbitrary computations. It also constructs the RtEVM execution environment, providing a real-time EVM programming experience that is compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem.
Since the mainnet V1 launch in April 2024, Bitlayer has rapidly developed. Currently, the number of deployed DApps on-chain has exceeded 280, covering multiple fields such as DeFi, NFT, gaming, and RWA, with an astonishing pace of ecosystem expansion. As technology continues to upgrade, Bitlayer will play a greater role in the Bitcoin ecosystem, leading Bitcoin towards broader application scenarios and creating more value for users and developers.
