@BitlayerLabs is transforming Bitcoin into a full-stack DeFi ecosystem, powered by the BitVM paradigm and Bitcoin’s native security. With trust-minimized bridges, yield-bearing Bitcoin, sub-second finality, and a modular rollup architecture, Bitlayer is building the infrastructure to unlock Bitcoin’s full potential.

TRUST-MINIMIZED BITVM BRIDGE

At the center of Bitlayer lies the BitVM Bridge—a third-generation Bitcoin bridge designed for maximum security. Using BitVM smart contracts, fraud proofs, and zero-knowledge verification, it ensures only one honest actor is needed for security.

Unlike traditional custodial bridges, Bitlayer’s design keeps a strict 1:1 BTC peg

  • BTC on-chain → YBTC minted on Bitlayer

  • Seamless DeFi access across multiple ecosystems

This approach combines trustlessness with scalability, ensuring Bitcoin liquidity moves freely without compromising security.

YBTC: YIELD-BEARING BITCOIN


YBTC represents Bitcoin on-chain with full 1:1 backing enforced by protocol logic, not custodians. Holders can:

  • Stake

  • Lend

  • Trade

    while maintaining exposure to Bitcoin’s value—completely free from custodial risks.

  • BITLAYER ROLLUP V2: SPEED + SECURITY

Bitlayer Rollup V2 delivers

  • Sub-second soft finality via Proof-of-Stake consensus

  • Recursive settlement anchoring finality to Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work

  • EVM compatibility for seamless dApp deployment

This ensures Bitcoin-level security with the speed and flexibility DeFi requires.

REAL-WORLD LAUNCH & ECOSYSTEM MOMENTUM

The BitVM Bridge mainnet is live in beta, integrating with Sui, Arbitrum, Base, Cardano, and Plume. Strategic partnerships with Antpool, F2Pool, and SpiderPool enhance security and throughput.

ROADMAP & INNOVATION

  • V2 Whitepaper introduces a dual-layer architecture for speed + security.

  • V3 Preview promises advanced scaling and multi-chain interoperability.

  • A Solidity-like execution environment empowers developers to build Bitcoin-native DeFi apps.


WHY IT MATTERS


Bitlayer isn’t just extending DeFi to Bitcoin—it’s embedding it into Bitcoin’s security fabric. Through:

  • Trustless bridging


  • Yield-bearing BTC


  • Sub-second finality

  • Cross-chain interoperability

    Bitlayer is paving the way for Bitcoin as the premier DeFi base layer.
