For over a decade, Bitcoin has been viewed as “Digital Gold” – a safe, reliable store of value. However, the downside of Bitcoin is that it mostly sits idle in investors' wallets, not generating profitable value. Now, Bitlayer has emerged to change that – turning Bitcoin from a static asset into an active liquidity source in DeFi.

1. What does Bitlayer bring?

🔑 BitVM Bridge – Transfer BTC safely, without trusting third parties

BitVM Bridge allows users to bring BTC into the DeFi ecosystem without having to hand over BTC to any custodian organization. This is a significant step in maintaining the decentralization and security of Bitcoin.

💎 YBTC – Token representing BTC 1:1 for use in DeFi

Every BTC brought into Bitlayer will be “wrapped” into YBTC, a token equivalent to 1 BTC.
With YBTC, investors can:

  • Participate in yield farming protocols to earn profits.

  • Provide liquidity on DEX platforms.

  • Fast trading on supported platforms without worrying about high transaction fees and the slow speed of the original Bitcoin network.

⚡ Bitlayer Rollup – Fast, Bitcoin-based security sidechain

Bitlayer uses Rollup technology, combining high processing speed with Bitcoin-level security, creating a perfect environment for DeFi while ensuring asset safety.

2. Operational process: Simple but powerful

BTC → BitVM Bridge → YBTC → DeFi (yield, liquidity, trading) → High-speed processing Rollup

Users only need to:

  1. Deposit BTC through BitVM Bridge.

  2. Receive YBTC for use in DeFi activities.

  3. Withdraw BTC at any time by burning YBTC.

3. Unique features of Bitlayer

  • No custody, no third-party risk – users always control their assets.

  • Multi-chain compatibility – connecting with Ethereum, Solana, Sui, and many other ecosystems.

  • Transform Bitcoin from a “sleeping asset” into an “active capital flow” – opening up real profit opportunities for BTC holders.

4. Vision: Bitcoin becomes the pillar of global DeFi

Bitlayer not only brings BTC into DeFi – they are opening a new chapter for Bitcoin, where the $1 trillion value of this currency is put into operation, creating liquidity, generating profits, and driving the development of the entire decentralized financial market.
