Among all Layer2 projects, security is the primary factor in investment judgment. Especially in the Bitcoin ecosystem, users' fund sizes are larger and their sensitivity is higher; security incidents are almost equivalent to a "life-or-death line".
Bitlayer demonstrates this point clearly: it chooses to accept assessments from professional auditing firms from the very beginning, including well-known teams like SlowMist and Hacken. These security companies have extensive experience and reputation in the industry, having participated in the audits of hundreds of well-known projects in the past.
The value of auditing has two layers:
Identifying and fixing vulnerabilities. Many security incidents of cross-chain bridges are caused by code defects or overly centralized permissions. Through auditing, Bitlayer can expose potential risks and make repairs before going live.
Conveying trust signals. Users and institutions feel more at ease upon seeing authoritative audit reports. This not only helps attract retail investors but also enhances institutional participation willingness.
From an investment perspective, this proactive embrace of auditing reflects the team's emphasis on long-term development. They do not just want to "go live quickly and raise funds quickly"; they aim to establish a true security moat.
In addition, Bitlayer’s security mechanism based on BitVM is itself a form of decentralized verification logic, returning the security review to Bitcoin itself. This "dual protection" model (underlying design + external audit) gives Bitlayer an advantage in risk control compared to many similar projects.
Therefore, I believe security is one of the most important positive factors in Bitlayer's investment logic. It reduces systemic risk and enhances market trust. Such projects are worth considering for long-term holding.
