About

Bitlayer is a pioneering <a href="https://www.toolsforbitcoin.com/tag/layer%202" target="_blank">Layer 2</a> solution designed to enhance Bitcoin's scalability and programmability while maintaining its foundational security and decentralization. By implementing the BitVM paradigm, Bitlayer introduces Turing-complete smart contract capabilities to the Bitcoin network, enabling developers to build complex decentralized applications (dApps) directly on Bitcoin. This integration allows for seamless migration of Ethereum-based applications to Bitlayer without significant modifications.

Key Features

EVM Compatibility
Bitlayer is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling developers to deploy Ethereum-based dApps directly on the Bitcoin network. This integration combines Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s flexibility to support robust decentralized applications.
Trust-Minimized BTC Bridge
Bitlayer introduces a trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge that enables secure and decentralized interoperability between Bitcoin and other blockchain ecosystems, enhancing cross-chain functionality and liquidity.
Scalability and Performance
In future phases, Bitlayer aims to support up to 20,000 transactions per second (TPS) with transaction confirmations in under 3 seconds—positioning itself as a high-performance platform for scalable blockchain applications.
