Bitlayer (BTR) is the first Bitcoin Layer 2 solution built with zero-knowledge proof (ZK-Rollup) technology, aiming to enhance scalability, speed, and programmability while preserving Bitcoin’s security and decentralization. By moving transactions off-chain and batching them before final settlement on Bitcoin, Bitlayer reduces network congestion, lowers fees, and enables high throughput. Unlike Bitcoin’s limited scripting language, Bitlayer introduces smart contract support, making it possible to build decentralized applications, DeFi protocols, NFTs, and advanced financial products directly linked to the Bitcoin ecosystem. It also focuses on interoperability, allowing assets and liquidity to flow seamlessly across chains. With a strong emphasis on developer-friendly tools and user accessibility, Bitlayer seeks to become a core infrastructure layer that extends Bitcoin’s utility beyond a store of value into a programmable, trustless, and scalable financial ecosystem for the future.
