The vision of a 'global value internet' requires a value carrier that can circulate efficiently on a global scale, be stored securely, and be applied flexibly. Bitcoin, with its decentralized characteristics, should ideally become the core, but its functional limitations make it difficult to assume this role. Bitlayer's technological innovations are pushing Bitcoin towards the core of the 'global value internet,' making this vision possible.
Its core driving force lies in solving the pain point of Bitcoin's 'low circulation efficiency.' In the traditional model, cross-border transfers of Bitcoin are not only costly (tens of dollars per transaction), but also take over 10 minutes to confirm, making it difficult to meet the global value circulation demands for high frequency and low cost. Bitlayer reduces transaction costs to below $0.1 through Rollup technology, shortens confirmation times to 2 seconds, and increases throughput to 5000 TPS, enabling it to support real-time value exchange globally—whether for multinational trade settlement or personal cross-border remittances, achieving 'instant arrival and low-cost completion,' with efficiency comparable to traditional payment systems, but without relying on centralized institutions.
In terms of value applications, Bitlayer gives Bitcoin flexible programmability, allowing it to adapt to diverse scenarios. Through smart contracts, Bitcoin can be used as collateral in cross-border lending, addressing the international financing challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises; in the cross-border e-commerce sector, Bitlayer’s payment protocol supports direct Bitcoin settlement, avoiding exchange rate fluctuation risks; even in the charity sector, transparent smart contracts allow Bitcoin donations to be traceable, improving the efficiency of charitable fund utilization. Currently, there are over 40 DApps focused on cross-border scenarios within the ecosystem, covering payments, finance, charity, and other fields, showcasing Bitcoin's potential as a 'global value carrier.'
In terms of technical adaptability, Bitlayer's design fully considers the needs of global users. It supports multilingual interfaces and localized payment practices, is compatible with mainstream digital currency wallets around the world, and users can access it without learning new tools; integration with payment channels in various countries allows Bitcoin to be seamlessly exchanged for local fiat currency, lowering the usage threshold. This 'global adaptation' feature enables it to rapidly penetrate emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Africa, becoming an important entry point for local users to access cryptocurrency.
In the future, with the testing of integration with traditional financial networks such as SWIFT, Bitlayer plans to achieve interoperability between Bitcoin and fiat currency systems; the optimization of cross-chain protocols will allow Bitcoin to freely exchange assets with other blockchain networks, further strengthening its status as a 'value hub.' It can be said that Bitlayer is upgrading Bitcoin from a 'digital asset' to the core protocol of the 'global value internet,' making the flow of value more efficient, fair, and transparent on a global scale.
