Bitlayer Mainnet V2 Launch
#Bitlayer is on track to launch Mainnet V2 with a rollup architecture in Q2 2025, representing the first full-featured rollup Layer 2 for Bitcoin and a significant milestone in Bitcoin’s evolution. This upgrade will strengthen Bitlayer’s technical foundation, featuring:
EVM compatibility
Advanced proving mechanisms
Flexible data availability options
These enhancements are expected to catalyze the development of Bitcoin-focused decentralized applications (DApps) and liquidity solutions.
Looking ahead, Bitlayer’s strategy emphasizes multi-chain integration, leveraging technologies such as CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol) to connect Bitcoin with leading smart contract networks. The initial focus will be on a trust-minimized bridge between #Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The ultimate vision is to foster a robust Bitcoin DeFi (BTC-Fi) ecosystem, enabling Bitcoin to participate in lending, trading, yield farming, and other DeFi activities, all secured by Bitcoin’s proof-of-work integrity.
If successful, Bitlayer could become a cornerstone of Bitcoin’s next chapter, creating a scalable financial platform that combines Bitcoin’s security and liquidity with the programmability of modern DeFi.
