**Bitlayer: An Innovative Scaling Solution for the Bitcoin Ecosystem**

Bitlayer is the first Layer2 network that is secure and equivalent to Bitcoin, built on the concept of BitVM within the Bitcoin ecosystem. It aims to address the scalability issues of Bitcoin through an innovative technological architecture. It employs a 'Security Equivalence' mechanism to ensure that the security of Layer2 is directly inherited from the Bitcoin mainnet, while achieving efficient transaction processing through Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK) and Optimistic Verification, significantly increasing throughput and reducing transaction fees.

The core philosophy of Bitlayer is 'Compute on-chain, Verify off-chain,' supporting smart contracts through the Turing-complete contract capability of BitVM, and is compatible with EVM, allowing developers to seamlessly migrate DApps from the Ethereum ecosystem to the Bitcoin network. Its economic model incentivizes validators to maintain network security by staking Bitcoin assets (such as BTC or BTR tokens), while also introducing a decentralized sequencer to prevent single points of failure.

As an infrastructure of the Bitcoin ecosystem, Bitlayer not only expands payment scenarios but also provides high-performance underlying support for applications such as DeFi and NFTs, promising to drive Bitcoin's evolution from 'digital gold' to a multifunctional public chain.
