Bitlayer is the first EVM-compatible Layer 2 Rollup solution for Bitcoin, combining the security of Bitcoin with the programmability of Ethereum, supporting complex smart contracts and DeFi applications. Its core technologies include the BitVM architecture, OP-DLC bridge, and zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring asset security through recursive validation and fraud proof mechanisms, achieving security equivalent to the Bitcoin mainnet. The BTR token serves as a governance and incentive tool with a total supply of 1 billion, developed in three phases, aiming for a throughput of 20,000 TPS by the fourth quarter of 2025.
Currently, Bitlayer has launched the mainnet V1 version, supporting 100% EVM compatibility, and has established strategic partnerships with public chains such as Base, Starknet, and Arbitrum to promote cross-chain liquidity of the YBTC token. In August 2025, the BitVM Bridge mainnet Beta version will be launched, achieving trust-minimized bridging between Bitcoin and the multi-chain ecosystem, activating trillions of dollars in Bitcoin liquidity. Additionally, Bitlayer has secured $25 million in funding from institutions such as Polychain Capital and Franklin Templeton, and is collaborating with three major mining pools to optimize transaction processing efficiency. As a significant innovation in the Bitcoin ecosystem, Bitlayer is driving the transformation of Bitcoin from a value store to a programmable financial infrastructure.
