Bitlayer Presents BitVM Bridge Mainnet: Convert Bitcoin into Secure and Affordable DeFi
Jakarta, August 2025 — Bitlayer, a revolutionary Layer-2 platform based on BitVM, officially launches BitVM Bridge Mainnet. This bridge offers a trust-minimized solution to bridge Bitcoin liquidity into the DeFi ecosystem, enabling users to lock BTC in BitVM smart contracts and receive YBTC, a token pegged 1:1 to BTC—broadening access to DeFi without the risks of centralized custodianship.
Key Advantages of BitVM Bridge:
Securing BTC through smart contracts with mechanisms for honest participants to detect cheating attempts.
YBTC expands DeFi opportunities such as staking, lending, trading, and liquidity provision, similar to wrapped BTC—but without reliance on centralized entities.
