Bitlayer Series ㉒: The Division of Labor Between the Settlement Layer and the Execution Layer: Bitcoin + Bitlayer's Concerto
Bitcoin is known for its security and decentralization, making it suitable for settlement and finality; Bitlayer excels in high performance and composability, making it suitable for executing and complex logic. The division of labor is clear and complementary: the settlement layer provides the strongest endorsement, while the execution layer unleashes application vitality.
This "concerto structure" allows BTC to enter a richer financial and application space without sacrificing security.
@BitlayerLabs #Bitlayer Layered division of labor is common sense in modern systems engineering: assigning "irreplaceable" tasks to the most reliable layer. Bitcoin is responsible for finality, and Bitlayer is responsible for vitality; this is the aesthetics of each fulfilling its own role. Mutual benefit ensues.
The above approach aims to contain complexity within the protocol and tool layers without sacrificing Bitcoin's native security, allowing participants to engage with lower cognitive and time costs. Doing what each does best is the greatest synergy. This sense of boundaries is a reflection of rational engineering. The patient accumulation of details will ultimately present itself as solid capacity and reputation over the long term.
In summary, this approach prioritizes security, sinks complexity into protocols and tools, and abstracts benefits into reusable primitives, enabling users, developers, and institutions to collaborate within the same order.
