🔗 What Is Bitlayer ($BTR) and How It Works

Bitlayer is a Layer-2 network built on Bitcoin. It uses a system called BitVM to run smart contracts and apps, while keeping Bitcoin’s security.

🧠 Smart Contracts on Bitcoin

Bitlayer works like an “optimistic rollup.” It handles transactions off-chain, then checks and settles them on Bitcoin using fraud-proof methods. No need for centralized bridges or multisigs.

🛡️ Staking and Governance

People who help run the network (validators) lock up BTR tokens to earn rewards and keep things secure. BTR holders can also vote on upgrades and how funds are used.

🌉 Cross-Chain Transfers

Bitlayer’s bridge lets users move BTC and other assets between Bitcoin and chains like Base or Arbitrum. It uses fraud checks and special oracles to keep things safe. Soon, it’ll support atomic swaps—fast, trustless trades across chains.
