Can Bitcoin also 'run DeFi'? Unveiling the secrets of Bitlayer achieving high TPS!
Bitcoin was originally just a store of value? That's a thing of the past—Bitlayer uses technology to turn it into a DeFi engine that surpasses dreams!
The technological core of Bitlayer lies in the BitVM framework—an optimistic verification system that achieves Turing-complete smart contracts on Bitcoin, with its Rollup architecture combining zero-knowledge or optimistic rollback mechanisms to ensure execution safety and finality  .
The real-time EVM engine can achieve high-performance execution, and through multi-threaded parallel execution, multi-KV storage sharding, and scalable MPT storage structures, it significantly enhances state access speed and throughput .
According to the official roadmap:
• Phase One (Completed): PoS + EVM compatibility;
• Phase Two (First half of 2025): Rollup based on BitVM, validating state on the Bitcoin chain;
• Phase Three (Fourth quarter of 2025): Aim to achieve 20,000 TPS, with a 3-second confirmation speed, perfectly catching up with other mainstream smart chains   .
The emergence of Bitlayer is not just a technological revolution but also a strategic leap in expanding the Bitcoin ecosystem: it balances Bitcoin's native security with the programmable advantages of smart contracts, making applications like DeFi, NFT, GameFi, and more possible to run on the world's safest chain.
The BTR token plays a key role in this: as a payment tool for transaction fees, mining incentives, and governance voting, its design considers both community and long-term incentives   .
Whether you are a technical player or a crypto investor, gaining a deep understanding of Bitlayer's groundbreaking performance will open a door to the mainstream programmable era of Bitcoin for future visions.
