About Bitlayer ($BTR)
BitLayer is a Layer 2 network that maintains Bitcoin's security while providing scalability and smart contract functionality. Utilizing the BitVM paradigm, we developed the "Recursive Settlement Protocol," which enables continuous and verifiable settlement of L2 states on the Bitcoin main chain. This protocol goes beyond simple data recording and provides security directly based on Bitcoin's Proof of Work (PoW). Ultimately, our goal is to provide the underlying infrastructure for DeFi and decentralized applications within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
