One of the biggest challenges for Bitcoin in DeFi is the risk of hacks or abuse from centralized bridges.

With BitVM Bridge, users can lock BTC directly on the native chain and receive YBTC at a 1:1 ratio.

  • Your BTC is always safe on the native blockchain.

  • You receive YBTC to use in the DeFi ecosystem.

  • No need to trust intermediaries, no worries about centralized risks.

💰 YBTC – Turning Bitcoin into a yield-generating asset

Previously, most investors would just HODL Bitcoin and wait for prices to rise. With YBTC, Bitcoin can now generate passive income through various methods:

  • Liquidity Providing

  • Staking to earn rewards

  • Lending & borrowing in DeFi

This transforms Bitcoin from a 'sleeping' asset into a safe and transparent yield-generating capital.

⚡ High-speed Rollup for Bitcoin

The biggest limitation of Bitcoin is its slow transaction speed and high fees.

Bitlayer addresses this with Bitcoin Rollup:

  • Near-instant transactions

  • Extremely low costs

  • Compatible with Ethereum, enabling DeFi, gaming, and dApp applications to be easily deployed on the Bitcoin network

This opens up a new era: not only Ethereum, but Bitcoin itself also becomes a Web3 application platform.

🤝 Supported by major players

@BitlayerLabs is not just an emerging project. It is growing rapidly thanks to support from Chainlink, LayerZero, and leading Bitcoin mining pools.

  • Over 800 million USD in assets locked (TVL) in just 18 months.

  • One of the fastest-growing Bitcoin scaling projects today.

🔮 Significance for Bitcoin

If previously Bitcoin was only seen as 'digital gold' — a safe store of value, with Bitlayer, it is evolving into 'programmable money':

  • Absolute safety thanks to Bitcoin's security.

  • Fast and cheap with Rollup technology.

  • Yield-generating and versatile applications in the DeFi ecosystem.

👉 Now, if you are HODLing Bitcoin, you can not only hold it, but also use it, develop it, and build new value on this very currency. #Bitlayer
