Bitlayer — Powering the Future of Bitcoin DeFi
Bitlayer is ushering in the next generation of Bitcoin-based decentralized finance (DeFi), unlocking Bitcoin’s full potential by combining security, scalability, and utility. As the most trusted blockchain, Bitcoin provides unmatched resilience, and Bitlayer is building the infrastructure to bring that strength into a thriving DeFi ecosystem.
BitVM Bridge — Secure and Trust-Minimized
At the heart of Bitlayer’s architecture lies the BitVM Bridge, a secure, trust-minimized gateway that connects Bitcoin with other blockchain ecosystems. Unlike traditional cross-chain bridges that often rely on centralized custodians, the BitVM Bridge leverages Bitcoin’s native security guarantees to ensure that every transaction remains verifiable and trustless.
This innovation allows users to move assets seamlessly in and out of Bitcoin, enabling interaction with multiple blockchain environments while never compromising on Bitcoin’s core security.
YBTC — Yield-Bearing Bitcoin
Bitlayer also introduces YBTC (Yield-Bearing Bitcoin) — a groundbreaking asset that transforms BTC into an income-generating instrument. With YBTC, Bitcoin holders can earn yield without selling their coins, preserving exposure to BTC’s long-term value while tapping into new streams of rewards.
By integrating YBTC directly into DeFi applications, Bitcoin evolves from “digital gold” into a yield-producing asset class, empowering users to participate more actively in decentralized financial markets.
The Future of Bitcoin DeFi
By combining the security of Bitcoin with the flexibility of modern DeFi, Bitlayer is building a foundation for sustainable growth in the digital asset economy.
Users can trust that their assets are backed by the strongest blockchain while gaining access to liquidity, yield opportunities, and seamless cross-chain functionality.
Bitlayer is more than an infrastructure project
