For more than fifteen years, Bitcoin has embodied security, decentralization, and resilience in the world of crypto. But a new phase is opening: one where Bitcoin is no longer just a store of value, but also becomes a foundation for decentralized, fast, and scalable applications.
This is exactly the mission that Bitlayer has set for itself, a modular Layer 2 solution that directly relies on the robustness of the Bitcoin network while providing increased speed, reduced fees, and multi-VM compatibility, such as EVM, CairoVM, or MoveVM. Thanks to this architecture, it becomes possible to deploy smart contracts and DeFi applications without leaving the Bitcoin universe.
One of the key innovations of Bitlayer is its BitVM Bridge, which allows BTC to be locked on the main layer and transformed into YBTC, a programmable asset usable in DeFi. This opens the door to a concrete use of Bitcoin within decentralized applications, without centralized intermediaries.
And it's not just a promise: Bitlayer is already processing over 150,000 transactions per day and hosts over 550 million dollars in locked assets. An ecosystem of several hundred projects is already active, and the growth momentum is well underway.
If Bitcoin were to become the backbone of a global decentralized finance, Bitlayer would be one of the engines of this transformation. This is not a futuristic concept; it is an infrastructure that already works, with solid numbers to prove it.
