Bitcoin's role as digital gold has deeply resonated with people; however, its potential in the Decentralized Finance ( DeFi ) sector has been limited by technological constraints. The emergence of Bitlayer is like sowing the seeds of innovation in this fertile land, paving a new development path for Bitcoin in the DeFi world.

As a pioneer in Bitcoin DeFi infrastructure, Bitlayer is dedicated to building a bridge between traditional finance and the blockchain world. Its core product, BitVM Bridge, utilizes zero-knowledge proofs and BitVM technology to achieve a trustless conversion from Bitcoin to YBTC. As of August 2025, the total locked value of this bridging solution, (TVL), has surpassed $210 million, with a monthly growth rate maintained at around 15%. This innovation not only eliminates centralized risks but also supports cross-chain asset transfers, becoming an important entry point into the BTCFi ecosystem.

The design goal of the Bitlayer network is to become an efficient Bitcoin Layer 2 scaling solution. By integrating Ethereum Virtual Machine ( EVM ) compatibility and Bitcoin's native verification mechanism, the network achieves the capability of processing thousands of transactions per second. This technological breakthrough has attracted over 300 decentralized applications ( dApp ), covering various fields such as lending, NFT trading, and significantly enriching the application scenarios of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

In order to nurture the developer ecosystem, Bitlayer launched the xCreatorPad platform. Through the Mindshare Campaign, the platform provided generous rewards for the top 100 developers in August 2025, encouraging more innovative projects to incubate within the Bitlayer ecosystem.

The emergence of Bitlayer not only injects new vitality into Bitcoin but also paints a more prosperous blueprint for the entire Web3 ecosystem. It demonstrates that Bitcoin can serve not only as a store of value but also as a foundation for a vibrant financial ecosystem. With the emergence of more innovative applications, we have reason to expect that Bitcoin will play an increasingly important role in the field of Decentralized Finance, driving the entire blockchain industry forward.
