Bitlayer: Shaping the Future of Bitcoin DeFi
For over a decade, Bitcoin has been recognized as the most secure and trusted blockchain network. While it has primarily served as a store of value, the next chapter is unfolding — Bitlayer is building an advanced DeFi infrastructure that allows Bitcoin to move beyond storage and become an active, yield-generating asset.
Security at the Core
Bitlayer design is rooted in Bitcoin’s native security model. Every transaction and application within the ecosystem inherits the unparalleled reliability of the Bitcoin network, ensuring that users can engage with DeFi solutions without compromising on trust or safety.
The BitVM Bridge
Central to this vision is the BitVM Bridge, a secure and trust-minimized gateway that links Bitcoin with other blockchain ecosystems. This innovation enables seamless asset transfers across networks while maintaining Bitcoin-level security. With the BitVM Bridge, users gain access to liquidity, cross-chain applications, and broader utility — all without sacrificing security.
YBTC: Yield-Bearing Bitcoin
Bitlayer also introduces YBTC, a groundbreaking asset that allows Bitcoin holders to earn yield while retaining full exposure to BTC’s price. By integrating YBTC into decentralized applications, users can generate sustainable returns without needing to sell their Bitcoin. This transforms BTC from a passive holding into a productive, income-generating asset.
A New Phase for Bitcoin
Bitlayer represents a pivotal step in Bitcoin’s evolution. By combining security, interoperability, and yield opportunities, it positions Bitcoin at the center of the next wave of decentralized finance.
With Bitlayer, Bitcoin is no longer just digital gold — it becomes the backbone of a vibrant and secure DeFi ecosystem.
