#bitlayer Bitlayer, an intelligent solution for level 2 contracts, is one of the latest notable efforts to bring DApp functionality to the largest blockchain in the world. At the core of the platform is the BitVM processing mechanism, which we will take a moment to familiarize ourselves with before diving into the features of the Bitlayer project itself.

BitVM was proposed and introduced by Bitcoin developer Robin Linus at the end of 2023. It is an additional processing mechanism for Bitcoin, capable of supporting full computations and programming languages. Fully executable programming languages can handle computations of any level of complexity, as long as the computational task can theoretically be performed. In a practical sense, strict completeness allows for the development of complex programming logic to support sophisticated DApps.
