The roadmap of Bitlayer is like a meticulously drawn treasure map, clearly outlining how to build the Bitcoin ecosystem from a land full of infinite potential into a secure, efficient digital metropolis capable of supporting global users in three steps.
Act One: Foundation · Solid Starting Point (Bitlayer PoS)
As the saying goes, 'A tall building rises from the ground,' in the first phase of the roadmap, Bitlayer acts like an experienced architect, committed to balancing practicality with security. It integrates Proof of Stake (PoS) and multi-signature technology, while collaborating with top-tier MPC multi-party computation custodial platforms to build a stable and efficient infrastructure while ensuring asset security. Even more impressively, it achieves 100% EVM compatibility. This is not just a casual technical choice; it is like sending an open invitation to millions of developers and users worldwide. Developers can seamlessly migrate existing Solidity applications, and users can continue to use familiar tools and interaction habits, significantly lowering the barriers to ecosystem participation. Moreover, the introduction of cross-chain functionality allows assets to flow freely between Bitcoin, EVM chains, and other networks, like building convenient bridges between different islands. The success of this phase paves the way for Bitlayer's future, allowing innovative seeds to take root and flourish here.
Act Two: City Building · Security Revolution (Bitlayer Rollup, based on BitVM)
If the first phase is about laying the foundation, then the second phase is a profound transformation. Bitlayer aims to evolve from a compatibility layer into a Rollup native to Bitcoin, with the core transformation being the introduction of the revolutionary BitVM paradigm. This is a key step for Bitlayer to achieve 'Bitcoin-level security.' Through BitVM, the state transition verification of the second-layer network can be conducted directly on the Bitcoin mainnet. This means that the security of Bitlayer no longer relies on an independent group of validators but directly on the unparalleled computing power of the Bitcoin network, like building a castle on the most solid rock. The accompanying trust-minimized Bitcoin cross-chain bridge will replace the multi-signature scheme from the first phase, fundamentally enhancing the security and decentralization of cross-chain assets. For applications within the ecosystem, this migration is seamless, ensuring business continuity. After this stage is completed, Bitlayer upgrades from a solid camp to a secure fortress personally guarded by Bitcoin.
Act Three: Dawn · Peak Performance (Bitlayer Rollup, Super Acceleration)
Once the cornerstone of security is solidified, the next step is to pursue ultimate performance and user experience. The final chapter of the roadmap aims to transform Bitlayer into the ultimate infrastructure capable of supporting large-scale applications. With a processing capacity of 20,000 transactions per second (TPS), it can easily meet the needs of enterprise-level applications and massive users, like a super-efficient transportation hub. A quick soft confirmation of 3 seconds ensures that every on-chain interaction by users receives nearly instantaneous responses, completely eliminating the sense of delay in blockchain interactions, like when we tap on our phones and there’s an immediate reaction. By then, Bitlayer will not only be a secure Bitcoin second-layer network but also a powerful platform that combines the security of Bitcoin, the flexibility of Ethereum, and the performance of top public chains.
From a solid foundation to a secure fortress, and then to a prosperous metropolis, Bitlayer's roadmap is clear, ambitious, and logically sound. It constructs not just a technological platform but also a future that leads Bitcoin into a new era of applications. I believe that under the leadership of Bitlayer, the Bitcoin ecosystem will welcome an even more glorious tomorrow.
