As the BTCFi narrative heats up, Bitlayer, as one of the first projects to launch a mainnet based on BitVM, has completed a threefold layout in terms of technology, ecology, and capital. Its native token BTR is the core value carrier of this ecosystem.
Basic information about BTR
• Total supply: 1 billion
• Use cases:
• Network governance (proposals and voting)
• Nodes and security incentives
• Ecological development and user rewards
• Gas fees and ecological application payments
• Positioning: It is both Bitlayer's 'proof of stake' and the main ticket for BTCFi users to enter.

Source of BTR's value
1. Network growth dividends:
Once a large amount of BTC enters Bitlayer's Rollup and Bridge, its transaction volume and ecological applications will directly increase the demand for BTR.
2. Governance and staking:
Node operation and network security require staking BTR, further binding governance rights to long-term value.
3. Ecological expansion drive:
The traffic from cooperative chains (Sui, Base, Arbitrum, Cardano) and mining pools (Antpool, F2Pool, SpiderPool) will bring continuous demand for BTR through cross-chain interactions.
4. Capital endorsement:
Raised $25 million, with investors including Polychain Capital, Franklin Templeton, Framework Ventures, ABCDE, etc. Capital entry often means the project is less likely to fail.

Investor focus
• Token release schedule: Early distribution and unlocking plans will directly affect short-term price performance.
• Booster and Pre-TGE activities: This is the phase where retail investors can acquire BTR at the lowest cost.
• Long-term logic: Bitlayer aims to be the core infrastructure of BTCFi, and if the BTCFi narrative continues to heat up, BTR has the chance to become the 'leading coin in the track'.
⸻
Current participation opportunities
• Binance Wallet Booster (Phase 2): Ordinary users can interact to receive BTR opportunities.
• Pre-TGE: Coming soon, providing a bonus window for early bird investors.
Before BTCFi has a large-scale explosion, the valuation anchor of BTR relies more on 'narrative + expectations'. And it is this 'uncertainty' that gives early participants the possibility of maximizing returns.

📌 Conclusion
The logic of BTR is very similar to that of L2 tokens back in the day: its value depends on network usage and ecological prosperity.
As BTC holders increasingly need monetization tools, Bitlayer's infrastructure attributes will continue to be amplified, and BTR, as a value capture tool, will directly benefit.
