#Bitlayer is going all out? Are the 'tech gamblers' in the BTCFi circle going all in this time?

Hey everyone, take a look! @BitlayerLabs is coming in with BitVM2 V3, this 'big bomb', shouting the slogan of launching in 2026, with a 3-day challenge period and 20-minute cross-chain transactions, clearly aiming to 'shake up' the BTCFi track. But that said, can this 'tech adventurous' play actually expand the BTCFi cake, or will it accidentally dig itself into a 'pit'?

First, let’s show some results to stabilize the situation: In 2025, BitVM Bridge directly completed 200,000 transactions, with TVL firmly standing at 200 million dollars; borrowing from @FolksFinance on Sui, earning 6-8% passively; and with Antpool backing, computing power maximized to boost verification efficiency to 99.9%, with Rollup speed so fast it can be done in 0.5 seconds—this operation indeed looks quite 'impressive'.

But troubles are also coming: the V3 contract is so complex, vulnerabilities are like 'landmines' hidden in the dark. The three minor vulnerability incidents in 2025 are still fresh in people's minds, although they were later 'defused' with timely audits, the community has long been questioning. Fortunately, the BTCFI Carnival is stirring things up, with a 1.2 million dollar prize pool + 5.15 million BTR distributed, directly increasing active addresses by 118%; the 25 million dollar financing in 2024 also gave V3 development a new lease on life, and even plans to team up with Polygon for some activities.

The current situation is quite interesting: Bitlayer is optimizing the governance protocol with BTR, wanting to expand the BTCFi territory with YBTC, while being criticized for 'rushing forward and throwing 'stability' out of the window.' In fact, there’s nothing wrong with technological innovation, but if the balance between innovation and security is not well grasped, if one day it 'flops', it won't be as simple as losing face—after all, no one wants to see the 'adventurers' in the BTCFi circle become reckless individuals who undermine their own ecological foundation! #Bitlayer $BTC
