Bitlayer x CreatorPad
Bitlayer is revolutionizing Bitcoin by bringing full DeFi capabilities directly to its secure and decentralized base. At its core, Bitlayer introduces the first trust-minimized BitVM Bridge—a groundbreaking solution that enables Bitcoin holders to seamlessly access decentralized finance without relying on centralized intermediaries. This bridge is already live on mainnet, marking a major milestone in Bitcoin’s evolution.
Central to Bitlayer’s ecosystem is YBTC, a 1:1 Bitcoin-backed token that generates yield while preserving the value and security of the underlying BTC. Alongside YBTC, Bitlayer’s high-performance Bitcoin Rollup unlocks fast, scalable, and cost-efficient DeFi applications on Bitcoin’s network—processing thousands of transactions per second with near-instant confirmation.
Bitlayer’s technology leverages the innovative BitVM architecture, enabling smart contracts and virtual machine capabilities on Bitcoin without altering the base layer. This preserves Bitcoin’s core principles while unlocking programmability and composability similar to Ethereum’s ecosystem.
Strategic partnerships with leading Layer 1 blockchains such as Sui, Base, Arbitrum, and Cardano, as well as collaborations with major mining pools like Antpool and F2Pool, accelerate Bitlayer’s ecosystem growth. These alliances ensure interoperability and expand Bitcoin’s DeFi reach across multiple chains.
Backing Bitlayer is a $25 million institutional funding round led by top-tier venture capital firms including Polychain Capital, Franklin Templeton, and Framework Ventures, highlighting strong confidence in the project’s potential.
Users and developers alike benefit from Bitlayer’s secure, scalable environment—developers can build DeFi apps with Solidity and Bitcoin-native tools, while users can stake, lend, and swap BTC in a fully decentralized setting.
