@BitlayerLabs BitVM, invented by Robin Linus of ZeroSync in late 2023, is a groundbreaking paradigm designed to bring Turing-complete smart contracts to Bitcoin—without requiring any soft fork or protocol change. BitVM aims to boost Bitcoin’s capacity and enable new features without requiring soft forks to the blockchain. Bitlayer emerged as the first real-world implementer of BitVM, evolving rapidly from concept to execution. Through strategic funding—from an $11M Series A in July 2024 to an extended $9M round in October 2024—Bitlayer gained momentum. #Bitlayer has inked partnerships with major blockchains—Base, Starknet, Arbitrum, Sonic, Plume Network, and more—extending Bitcoin’s DeFi presence across multiple ecosystems.

Bitlayer’s BitVM Bridge isn’t just theoretical—it’s live, scalable, and unlocking real DeFi functionality on Bitcoin. Through innovation, strategic partnerships, and developer incentives, Bitlayer is driving forward the era of Bitcoin-native DeFi while staying true to Bitcoin’s core values. As adoption and infrastructure scale, the potential for BitVM—and Bitcoin’s programmable future—looks brighter than ever.
