EVM Meets $BTC
In 2024 Bitcoin has solidified its place as a multi-trillion asset class that is here to stay. With institutional recognition and a massive total addressable market, new Layer 2 solutions are now emerging to enable programmability and unlock more productive use cases for $BTC.
For bitcoin to evolve beyond a store of value, the underlying infrastructure supporting these novel use cases needs to be as trustless and censorship-resistant as the Bitcoin Layer 1 itself. That’s exactly the vision that Bitlayer set out to realize.
With full EVM-compatibility and a burgeoning ecosystem, Bitlayer’s edge comes from offering an EVM-compatible and developer-friendly environment to onboard the largest developer base in crypto into its ecosystem. By attracting talent with years of experience, the network effects of Solidity and EVM will lower the barriers for innovation, attracting more users and DeFi enthusiasts looking for yield opportunities on their $BTC holdings.
New blockchains thrive on liquidity and critical integrations—attributes for which high levels of trust in the technical infrastructure are required. Secured by BitVM, Bitlayer excels among other Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions with features like zero-knowledge and fraud-proof mechanisms, trust-minimized $BTC transfers, and battle-tested developer tooling.
