At the core of Bitlayer is its unique architecture, which combines several key components:@BitlayerLabs
1. Two-Layer Security
Bitlayer employs a dual approach to security, which is its main distinguishing feature. This provides robust protection for users' assets.
Layer 1 (L1) – Bitcoin: Bitlayer uses the security of the Bitcoin network itself as its foundation. All assets moved on Bitlayer are protected by cryptographic mechanisms that tie them to L1. This eliminates the risk of censorship and ensures data immutability.
Layer 2 (L2) – Bitlayer: At this level, there is a mechanism called Bit-ZK-Rollup. It combines thousands of transactions into a single block and creates a zero-knowledge proof. This proof is sent to the Bitcoin network, where it can be verified by any node. This process significantly increases the throughput of the network while maintaining its security.
2. Efficient Bitcoin State Synchronization
One of the biggest challenges for L2 solutions on Bitcoin is data synchronization. Traditional methods are slow and inefficient. Bitlayer addresses this issue with a specialized system that allows the L2 network to obtain up-to-date data from Bitcoin quickly and without significant costs. This ensures that all transactions occurring on Bitlayer always reflect the state of the Bitcoin network.
3. EVM Compatibility
As mentioned earlier, compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a key advantage. Bitlayer is essentially an EVM-compatible sidechain. This means that developers who are already familiar with the Solidity programming language can easily create or migrate their dApps to Bitlayer. This significantly accelerates the growth of the ecosystem and allows the use of already existing development tools.
Competitors and Future
The Bitcoin L2 market is rapidly growing, and Bitlayer faces serious competitors such as Stacks, Rootstock (RSK), and Lightning Network. However, Bitlayer stands out with its unique approach to security and compatibility.
In the future, Bitlayer plans to expand its ecosystem by attracting more developers and projects. Its goal is to become the leading platform for DeFi and Web3 based on Bitcoin.
