Ecological Niche Perspective - Bitlayer: The 'Financialization' Engine of Ordinals and BRC-20
Title: From 'Digital Collectibles' to 'Productive Assets': How Bitlayer Unlocks the True Potential of Ordinals?
Ordinals and the BRC-20 protocol have ignited the innovative enthusiasm of the Bitcoin ecosystem, but they quickly encountered bottlenecks: these assets are mostly static, with almost no financial utility aside from holding and peer-to-peer trading. They are more like artworks stored in a digital vault rather than capital that can flow in financial markets. The emergence of Bitlayer is precisely to address this core pain point, as it is dedicated to becoming the 'financialization' engine for these Bitcoin-native assets.
Bitlayer's EVM compatibility and high-performance environment open up endless possibilities for Ordinals and BRC-20 assets. Developers can easily build on Bitlayer:
NFT Lending Protocol: Users can use their rare Ordinals NFTs as collateral to borrow BTC or stablecoins, thus releasing their liquidity without selling assets. Decentralized Exchange (DEX): Establish an efficient BRC-20 trading market based on automated market makers (AMM), allowing users to conveniently trade assets like SATS and ORDI just as they would trade ERC-20 on Uniswap. Yield Aggregators and Strategy Vaults: Design complex financial strategies, such as earning trading fees by providing liquidity for BRC-20 or putting Ordinals into games for yield, and package these strategies into simple one-click products.
What Bitlayer is doing is laying a layer of financial infrastructure for the digital assets of the Bitcoin ecosystem, transforming them from isolated 'digital collectibles' into 'productive assets' that can generate income, be leveraged, and combined freely.
