In the world of blockchain, security is always the top priority. Bitcoin's status as the highest market value cryptocurrency is due to its unparalleled security. However, in the past, Bitcoin often faced a dilemma during scaling: how to achieve functional upgrades while maintaining security? Bitlayer provides a new answer.
It is based on the BitVM architecture and utilizes the trust-minimized BitVM Bridge, allowing cross-chain and asset transfers without relying on third-party custodians, significantly reducing the risk of hacking. At the same time, as a Rollup, its transaction execution still inherits the security of the Bitcoin mainnet. This means that the user's BTC is always secure when participating in DeFi, lending, or staking.
Unlike traditional cross-chain bridges that frequently encounter issues, Bitlayer has made security the core of its design from the beginning. Its solution does not involve 'sacrificing security for efficiency,' but rather 'achieving scalability under the premise of security.' This is the greatest assurance for both users and institutions.
The combination of Bitcoin's security and Bitlayer's programmability may be the strongest backing for BTCFi.
