Bitlayer — The First Bitcoin L2 Based on BitVM

Bitlayer is a Layer 2 network built atop the BitVM protocol. It aims to deliver a Turing‑complete, Bitcoin‑secure Layer 2 solution with high scalability and low-cost transactions.

Key highlights:

Security: Leverages Bitcoin‑level finality and security, using BitVM and DLC (Discreet Log Contracts)–based bridging instead of centralized or multisig custodians.

Execution environment: Supports multiple VMs—EVM, Cairo, Move, SolVM—to appeal to diverse developer ecosystems.

Performance: Uses optimistic rollup architecture to process transactions off‑chain, reducing burden on Bitcoin’s mainnet.

Bridging assets: Employs a trust‑minimized approach via BitVM smart contracts and DLC-based mechanisms for peg‑in and peg‑out of BTC. @BitlayerLabs #Bitlayer空投
