Bitcoin has always been hailed as 'digital gold', but in terms of on-chain application, its activity is far less than that of Ethereum and other public chains. Bitlayer aims to change this situation. Based on BitVM technology, it has created a high-performance Bitcoin Rollup that allows BTC to be more than just a store of value, but a truly active 'productive asset'.
Technically, Bitlayer's advantages are clear:
BitVM Bridge: A trust-minimized cross-chain bridge that can safely bring BTC into the DeFi world;
Real-time EVM execution environment: Compatible with Ethereum applications, with latency as low as 10ms, allowing developers to quickly migrate without additional learning;
YBTC asset model: Pegged to Bitcoin 1:1, allowing for direct participation in lending, trading, and yield scenarios.
All of this gives BTC a flexibility similar to ETH for the first time. For users, this means that the Bitcoin in their hands is no longer just 'cold hard gold', but a new type of asset that can participate in on-chain finance and generate yields. For developers, Bitlayer provides a vast stage to truly realize the BTCFi narrative.
This is the disruption brought by Bitlayer: upgrading Bitcoin from a static reserve asset to a dynamic financial infrastructure.
