The DeFi revolution of Bitcoin is ushering in the dawn of technological breakthroughs, and its vast capital pool and application potential urgently require efficient infrastructure support. Bitlayer acts like a technological flyer, using its industry-leading position with BitVM Bridge to drive the leap in the BTCFi ecosystem.
BitVM Bridge, as the earliest project to deploy the mainnet based on BitVM, marks a milestone in Bitcoin bridging technology. It has created a trust-minimized BTC bridging solution through zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) and optimistic rollups, processing over 110 million transactions by August 2025, with a TVL approaching 220 million USD.
Unlike traditional custodial bridges (such as WBTC), BitVM Bridge eliminates single points of risk. After its integration with Arbitrum in May, the daily trading volume of YBTC surged by 180%, becoming the growth engine for BTCFi. The leap of BitVM Bridge is attributed to the strategic partnerships between Bitlayer and leading Layer 1s (such as Sui, Base, Arbitrum, and Cardano) and major mining pools (such as Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool).
These partnerships expand Bitcoin liquidity, with non-standard transactions (NST) supported by Antpool enhancing bridging efficiency. The YBTC staking feature on Sui has attracted 500,000 users. The xCreatorPad platform distributed 5.15 million BTR through the Booster Campaign in August 2025, incentivizing developers to join the ecosystem, with a monthly TVL growth rate of 18%. However, challenges remain.
The security of cross-chain bridges requires continuous auditing, and the stability of mining pool partnerships may be affected by market conditions. In the future, if Bitlayer optimizes bridging performance and deepens cooperation, its leap may propel BTCFi to new heights. This flyer has given the Bitcoin ecosystem the wings of DeFi. Every takeoff is a spark igniting the potential of blockchain, worthy of our joint witness to its magnificent future.#Bitlayer @BitlayerLabs
