How Bitlayer Unlocks the DeFi Potential of Bitcoin
As the king of value storage, Bitcoin is limited in the DeFi space due to its limited smart contract capabilities. Bitlayer breaks this bottleneck through BitVM technology.
Its core component, BitVM Bridge, adopts a '1-of-N' trust assumption, significantly enhancing the security of cross-chain bridges. YBTC, as a programmable asset, allows Bitcoin holders to participate in DeFi for the first time and earn real returns.
Bitlayer's architecture combines Bitcoin Rollup and EVM compatibility, supporting complex financial applications such as decentralized exchanges and derivatives trading.
In 2025, Bitlayer has attracted $25 million in funding from top investment firms like Polychain Capital, demonstrating its tremendous potential in the Bitcoin DeFi space.
