⚡ Bitlayer Network: The 'High-Speed Engine' of Bitcoin DeFi
If BitVM Bridge is the 'entrance' for BTC to enter DeFi, then Bitlayer Network is the 'engine' that gets these assets 'running'. It is a Bitcoin Rollup network based on the BitVM stack and real-time EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine), which achieves three core advantages by transferring most transactions and computations off-chain and periodically submitting them to the Bitcoin mainnet for verification:
Real-Time: State transitions are directly verified on the Bitcoin mainnet, ensuring 'hard finality' of transactions (irreversibility), while the real-time EVM engine keeps the latency below 10 milliseconds, making it hundreds of times faster than traditional Bitcoin transactions;
Low Cost: Off-chain computation significantly reduces transaction fee costs (close to zero), allowing users to participate in DeFi activities frequently without worrying about 'Gas fees eating into profits';
Scalability: The Rollup architecture supports processing hundreds of transactions per second, easily meeting the high concurrency requirements of DeFi applications, and can further expand through layered design in the future.
This means that on the Bitlayer network, you can operate Bitcoin as smoothly as using Ethereum DeFi—borrowing, trading, liquidity mining, and even complex financial derivatives can be completed at extremely low costs and extremely high speeds!
