Bitlayer unlocks the full potential of Bitcoin DeFi by merging unparalled security with a lightning-fast smart contract engine.?

Built on Bitcoin-native security, Bitlayer combines a trust-minimized BitVM bridge, a Bitcoin rollup architecture, and a high-performance execution layer to bring real utility, speed, and composability to Bitcoin.

Bitlayer: the full-stack infrastructure for Bitcoin DeFi.

The First BitVM Bridge:?Secure, trust-minimized BTC bridge with challenge-based verification. The Bitlayer BitVM Bridge is already integrated with major chains including Sui, Base, Arbitrum, Starknet, and more.

Bitcoin Rollup Architecture:?All state transitions are verified on Bitcoin for hard finality

Next-gen Execution Engine:?EVM-compatible engine with sub-10ms latency

YBTC:?1:1 BTC-backed native token powering gas, DeFi, and yield

Backed by Industry Leaders:?Supported by top mining pools, top investors (Polychain Capital, OKX Ventures) , major blockchains and leading infra providers

Staking and Node Voting:?BTR holders can stake their tokens to support the network's security and participate in node voting for important decisions. This operates as a delegation mechanism, where nodes represent stakers by providing network security and validating transactions.

Governance:?BTR holders are central to on-chain governance, allowing them to shape the future of the ecosystem. Through governance voting, BTR holders can decide on critical parameters and make significant decisions, such as regarding protocol upgrades, fee adjustments, and other key aspects of Bitlayer's evolution.

Fee Switch:?The Fee Switch mechanism, which can be activated by the affirmative vote of sufficient BTR holders, allows adjustment of how transaction fees are allocated. When the Fee Switch is activated, a portion of the protocol's revenue will be directed towards distributing rewards to BTR stakers or used for BTR buybacks. This flexible mechanism ensures that the ecosystem can adapt and reward its participants while supporting the long-term sustainability and growth of the Bitlayer network.

Bitlayer unifies trust-minimized bridging, verifiable rollup settlement, and high-performance execution into one seamless stack—delivering the ultimate infrastructure for Bitcoin DeFi.
