Bitcoin was never designed for complex programmability. With its deliberate limitations—stateless scripts, small stack depth, and strict size constraints—turning it into a fully scalable, smart-contract-ready chain has always been a challenge. Bitlayer changes that narrative.
Through its BitVM2-powered rollup, Bitlayer introduces Turing-complete operations and EVM compatibility to the Bitcoin network. Transactions are aggregated on Layer 2, verified through a challenge-based mechanism, and finalized securely on Bitcoin’s Layer 1.
This dual-branch system—Happy or Unhappy—ensures integrity while maintaining efficiency. When everyone agrees, transactions flow seamlessly; when disputes arise, ZKPs (Zero-Knowledge Proofs) step in as the ultimate referee.
Bitlayer is not just a Layer 2; it’s a turning point where Bitcoin evolves from digital gold into the foundation for next-generation DeFi and interoperability.
