Bitlayer is a pioneering $BTC Layer 2 (L2) protocol built on the BitVM paradigm, engineered to unlock smart contract functionality, scalability, and secure asset bridging for the Bitcoin ecosystem. It preserves Bitcoin’s renowned security while expanding its capabilities for developers and users.

Key Features & Architecture

  • Turing-Complete Smart Contracts
    Bitlayer introduces full programmability to Bitcoin by supporting multiple virtual machines, including EVM compatibility, enabling familiar development workflows and seamless migration from Ethereum-based tools.

  • BitVM Rollup & Trustless Bridging
    Utilizing the BitVM engine with innovations like OP-DLC and a challenge-response mechanism, Bitlayer delivers a secure, trust-minimized bi-directional bridge between Bitcoin (L1) and its layer (L2).

  • Dual-Level Finality Model
    Bitlayer achieves fast transaction confirmations with PoS-based soft finality, while anchoring L2 state to Bitcoin’s L1 via recursive rollups for maximum security. The hard finality mechanism ensures settlement with Bitcoin-level trust.

  • Scalability & Low Fees
    Through efficient off-chain batching and verification, Bitlayer facilitates high throughput, sub-second confirmations, and low transaction costs, without compromising Bitcoin's core design.

Ecosystem & Adoption

  • Bitlayer’s V1 PoS mainnet is live, and its upcoming V2 Rollup upgrade will bring even greater scalability and programmability.

  • The platform has already achieved impactful results:

    • Over $550 million in $BTC TVL

    • 150,000+ daily transactions

    • 300+ projects onboarded

    • Built using AWS infrastructure to optimize performance and cost

  • New developments include integrations with Chainlink’s CCIP and data streams, enhancing oracle connectivity and data availability on the Bitlayer network.

  • Bitlayer’s native token ($BTR) will support governance, staking, and ecosystem incentives. It has already attracted substantial backing, including seed and Series A funding from prominent investors.

Bitlayer is redefining Bitcoin as more than a value store; it’s becoming a programmable, scalable platform ripe for DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and beyond.
